The bestest friend ever!

Who is the bestest buddy ever may you ask?

Why my good friend Dorcas! Surprise girlfriend!!

 We have been friends like forever and been through a lot

 together. We pretty much have a good time no matter what 

we are doing, but, we especially love to craft together.  

This past month has been a rough month with losing my 

grandmother and my furbaby on the same day.  If you guys are 

sick of hearing about it, imagine Dorcas who gets to deal with

me on a daily basis! She has been there for me  no matter what! 

There has been a lot of tears and plain crazy moments,

but she has not run away yet!

The day I came home, after being in NY for my Grandmother's 

memorial, Dorcas came over to spend the day with me since it 

was the first time being in the house after my cat died.  

It was a rough day, but she made it special.  

We went to Michael's, had lunch,

watched a movie, ate chocolate. Good friend stuff!

Before I have her totally barfing over all this mushy stuff I must

 get on with it!  I don't mean to leave any of my wonderful friends out. 

Everybody has been very good to me.  I appreciate 

everybody's care &  concern.  I just had to thank her because 

she puts up with a lot and goes out of her way for me!  

Although me, making a card for Dorcas, is like feeding

 a gourmet chef a hotdog!

It is the thought that counts though! LOL!

At least this card is all my own! No stealing today!

 Thank You for lifting me up when I needed it most!

 Inside

I will bore you with one more personal note!

When I came home from NY, my husband had

these pretty flowers waiting for me. They were a

much larger bouquet then.  My first very selfish thought

was "REALLY, carnations is that all I'm worth is

carnations? I am grieving here, and am I not worth

roses?" Then I thought it through and realized we did

not have the money for roses and it is the thought

that counts.  Well now I am eating those selfish thoughts

because 3 1/2 weeks later and these carnations

are still kicking! They have a few brown spots, and I 

have had to cut them down, but roses would have died 

long ago!
