Old Friends

Tonight I am going to the 40th birthday party for Rhonda. We actually went to grade school together. Maybe we don't see each other much or talk very often, however we will always be friends. It was so funny how we got back in touch after almost 30 years. She saw my name and phone number in a newspaper asking for volunteers for a function and recognized my last name. Spell is a unique last name. Anyway, she called me and asked if I had gone to Benbrook Elementary school and told me her name. Of course I remembered her. It is possible she was my first girl crush. You know how you think about people that you once knew years ago and wonder what they are doing? That's Rhonda. I wondered about her and how she was. Now, I cannot believe we are turning 40 this year! Boy, time flies. So, I am looking forward to going to the party and meeting a bunch of new people. You can never have too many friends.

San Antonio

We had the best time in San Antonio! Thanks to our "sisters" we stayed at the Westin Hotel ON the riverwalk. A late birthday celebration for my wife. She has been my best friend for almost 15 years and my wife for 2 of them. Our love is the kind of love that people write poems and make movies about. There is no way my life could be any better. She is the most wonderful woman I have ever known.

Friends

Friends are like flowers. They grow, bloom and get bigger and taller. We feed them with warmth, nourishment and care. Everyone needs to take a look at their garden and see if it needs attention. If we do not care for the beautiful flowers, they will wilt, loose their beautiful blooms and eventually perish. A life without a flower garden is bland and unrewarding. Learn to see the beauty in the tiny flowers we call weeds, however remember that they are still "weeds."
