A Friend's A Friend Forever

Remember that song by Michael W.Smith?

Yeah..well if I knew how to plug that

music box thingy into my blog

that's what you'd be hearing right about now.

Instead..I will write about

a special friend...

Sometimes you meet someone

along the walk of life that

touches you and makes you

realize what friends really are all about.

I recieved the card shown below

from my friend, Connie..

(and she signed her hubby's name to it too-

maybe because he can't write?-hahaha

just kidding Roger and now I have one coming,

don't I?)

Anyway...she is wonderful, warm and caring..

and Roger....well, Roger is just Roger..

He always can make me laugh..

he's ALMOST as funny as I am...

(looking that is)

Wait! Is that an insult to ME?

Anyway...because people say that sometimes

when they are writing a blog they wonder

if it's always worth the time and effort it

takes to do it-if anyone really even reads it.

That's why I do it just for me..

Anybody else that pops in is

just along for the ride...

Remember I warned you..

fasten your seatbelt before

you start reading.

Anyyyywayyy..

I opened my mailbox a couple

of weeks ago to find this!

Inside was this:

(I will type it out below because it is scanned in

and not of the best quality)

Hi, I read your blog everyday at my desk-

I know I'm supposed to be working.

It starts my day off on a good note.

You have such a way with words it's like

having you sitting here talking. That's

what makes it so enjoyable + the

great "subject matter"! Take care

and hope to see you soon. Here's a slip

for your memory box. Sorry- I didn't have a

fancy scissors. What a great gift from the kids.

Love, Roger & Connie

Now I ask you ladies...WHY do we always

sign our hubbie's name first when

he usually has no clue that we

even OWN a card-let alone that

we are sending one? Yeah..just wondering..

Anyway...
We became friends with these guys when we lived in

Door County. And, although we felt called to

move back to Green Bay, we have very

fond memories of some of the special

people we met during the 5 years we

were there.

So, Connie...I love you...and miss you...

and wish we saw you more often..

and thank you...thank you..

thank you...

I will try to give you a smile

every morning...cuz I know

what it must be like to wake up

next to Roger every morning.

Wait! NO I DON'T!

For those of you that are wondering...

I NEVER woke up next to Roger!

Amen...Thank You, Lord!

Are ya smiling, Connie?
