Joe and I were away a couple weeks ago. We spent time at the shore with Dad and the family. Had a really nice and relaxing time.

We celebrated Eves 40th at Buca Di Beppos. Lots of fun!

It was nice to spend time with everyone!

Happy Birthday to Kristy!

It is Kristys 14th Birthday. Kristy is a comedian and makes me laugh all the time. Makes us laugh. She also has some mad photoshop skills!

Kristy if you are reading this Joe, myself, Calvin and Audrey hope that you have a wonderful day!

You are a true redheaded beauty! And you are a beauty inside as well. I am so glad that there is another redhead in the family! You need to carry on the firey redhead tradition! We are alot alike girl… both redheads with blue eyes and both middle children!

We love you!

Happy Birthday to our niece Claire!

She is 17 years old today!  I remember when she was little and i used to take her with me everywhere and everyone thought she was my child!  It’s funny, she looked more like me when she was 2 then she did Eve.

Claire, I can’t believe that you are 17 years old!  You are so funny and a very talented with the pics you take!  You are beautiful inside and out!

We love you!

SKIBALL!!!!!!!!!

we only played a couple days why we were away. I wish I would have had the chance to play longer,

I consider myself a good friend. I am upfront and honest and I would do absolutely anything for my friends.

I have a few friends that live out west. I was considering coming for a visit. These friends said that their homes are always open and I could come for a visit anytime.

Was thinking of taking a quick trip next weekend. Tried to get a hold of everyone and no one got back to me. The one gal is someone that I have known since I was 15 years old. We were became pen pals through teen magazine.

I can understand that it is last minute. But I just wish that they would be upfront with me and say that it is last minute and they don’t think it is going to be a good idea. I would rather have that then hear nothing from them. Hearing nothing from them is worse than no. Yes no may hurt my feelings. But not hearing anything hurts even more.

I am the type of person that would do anything for a friend and my home would always be open to any of my friends even if they called the day before. The only thing I would want is to make sure the place was clean. And that we were not traveling anywhere.

It makes me question. Did I do something to upset them? Or is it that I am just not as good of a friend in their eyes. I consider them good friends…. but maybe they don’t feel the same about me.

I hate to even think that. It sounds pesimistic. But life is too short. And I do not want to waste time on friendships with people that don’t feel the same about me as I do them.

Happy 40th Birthday Eve!

We love you!

Sad…

I have a couple of friends that were really close and it seems that they have grown apart.

I love them both dearly. I have so much in common with both these wonderful gals.

Sometimes in life we have friends and sometimes we have to let those friends go. Not everyone is meant to stay friends. It is good when two people can realize it and move on.

Thinking of that makes me realize that there are so many different people out there with different personalities. How many people out there in the world hang out with people who are fake friends? Or don’t like the friends that they are hanging out with, but stay around them because there are afraid of being alone?

I am lucky to have many different friends all over the country. And in each of my friends are very special to me.

I have friends who are family. Cousins. ANd I have other friends I have met over the years. Each friend I have a specific bond with and even if I don’t talk to them everyday… I always carry a place for them in my heart. And I am pretty sure they feel the same way about me.

So on a whole I am sad that my friends ended their friendship. But I am happy that they realized that it was not a healthy friendship for either one of them.

I am going to stay in touch with both of them. They are dear friends to me and I am lucky to have them in my life.

And if you are both reading this you know who you are and you know that I love you both!
