52 Foto Fun - Weddings!

One of my May highlights!
One of my very best friends, the one I met in 6th grade,
we cheered together,
we spent night after night,
we ate too much pizza,
laughed until we nearly wet our pants,
went out with two best friends ('cause we were best friends),
we even got broken up with in the very same letter...
THAT best friend!
Her daughter got married in May!
And I had not seen this best friend since 1987!
Such a long story, but the part that happened in May is that we got to spend some time together!
And what a wonderful time it was!
Me and my dear friend, Pam, together again!

And with the lovely bride...

Okay, this is a tree that was on a table at the wedding.
I thought it was cool.

And me and my mom.
She, of course, knew Pam all those years ago too.
It was great to have her with me.

This is Pam and her boyfriend of 14 years!
Yes! 14 years!
And he was such a great guy.
No wonder they have been together that long.

And naturally, a picture of me and my hubby of 28 years!
Pam was in our wedding so it was fun for Fred to see her too!

What a great night!

I think I must make a trip to Riverside, California to spend time with her again.
Good friends stay good friends.

The Unexpected

Sometimes, things just don't happen like we expect. Occasionally, the unexpected is a nice surprise, but sometimes the unexpected can turn an event, circumstance, or even a life, upside down. Last week, my daughter and I went to spend Spring Break with family. Our flight was lovely, the weather perfect, and we were looking forward to a stress free week. The first thing we did was eat lunch at one of our favorite Thai restaurants. As usual, we looked forward to our fortune cookies. We took turns reading and laughing...and then my daughter opened hers - "Be prepared for a change in plans." Uh-oh. We didn't like this one but we decided our week would be stress free and fun in spite of what a cookie said. Continuing on through out the day, all was well until that night. I sat outside on the porch of a friend I have known for 35 years and received news that changed something I have believed for 30 years. The words were horrible and made me so ill that I got sick within min...

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...
