The Weekend

I hope you all had a great weekend! Ours was good and we attempted to do as little as possible. It seems we always have something going on and I just needed a weekend to sleep as late as I wanted, do what I wanted....not even put on make-up if I wanted (now thats a serious thing-LOL) We did get some "much needed" lounging around the pool done over the weekend. Eddie and I did a little cleaning up/work around the house but it was nothing we HAD to do, just things we WANTED to do! I about didn't know how to act having a laid back weekend! Oh, but was it nice! Some friends dropped by Sat. afternoon for a swim and to visit and it was so nice to have them there. Friends are so important....and an important part of who we are - who "I" am! I don't have brothers and sisters (yep, I'm a spoiled ONLY CHILD) and so having friends really does make the difference in your life! I am blessed to have some true friends! My friend Julie (we've been hanging around together for 30+ years-yep, long time) are leaving Friday to go see our other friend (alias "The Ya-Ya Sisters") Kim! Even though it will only be a one night trip, we are so excited to have that quality time together! I thank my lucky stars to have these ladies in my life because, even though we may not see each other like we would want too, I never doubt that if I need them, all I have to do is call and they are there for me....and I am there for them as well! How blessed is that? Just this weekend, my dear friend Becky and I were talking about how we tend to lean on each other more so than certain family members....how true! I tell ya, folks, I am truly blessed with some good friends! Another friend, who I guess I can say is a "new" friend (even though we have known each other a few years now) Paula is going to be taking a major test this week! I am trying to keep her "pumped" because she and I both have been out of school a while now and it does take some major adjusting....but Paula, if you are reading this, YOU ARE GONNA DO GREAT ON YOUR TEST!! Remember, Positive Attitude!!!

I am also lucky that my friends have children that are friends with Cade, so everyone benefits from the blessing of "great friends"! Ahh, what a great weekend it was and I hope that those of you who are reading this can say your weekend was great too! Hope the week goes good! Take a minute from your busy day and remember to thank God for the many blessings he has given you! When you get down and out or stressed over everyday life, try really hard to remember that there are so many things to be thankful for! I do, and that is what keeps me going most days!~Until Later!
