The Power of Friendships

Yesterday was a wonderful day filled with family and friends. I had lunch with my friend Cathy who I haven't seen since before the holidays. This is my scrapbook buddy and I plan to go to CK again this year with her. We chatted and caught up over lunch at Applebees.

Last night was dinner with the Buckman girls. Christi is visiting from Florida and Nikki and Dani both made plans to have dinner with us. These girls have been a part of our family for almost 17 years. They were our babysitters for years. It is wonderful to see the lovely young women they have become - all married and settled into life. Unfortunately, Casey had to make a presentation to the school board and had to leave early and Larry had to teach a class. However, Greg and I stayed all evening and had a lot of laughs with them. On the way home, Greg said to me that it is nice that they are part of our family and that they are like big sisters to him. What a warm feeling that gave me. I think that they will always be a part of each other's lives and full of fond memories. This is what friendship is all about.
