HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

This is going to be a very busy weekend. We are so blessed as a family. We will be celebrating two birthdays and Father's Day on Sunday. I know you'll be thinking of your Dad on that day as well.

I've had some ask me why I blog. Well, it's really pretty simple. I'm a very sentimental person and when I meet someone and become friends, it is very, very hard for me to let go of them. I, through the years, have sent lots and lots of letters, cards, etc. I've maintained many friendships through the annual Christmas cards. Many have reciprocated, some have not. I still have a need to know how all my friends are doing, those I'm currently in contact with and those I've lost contact with.

Because I left a place where I lived and established friendships over twenty years, it was especially difficult, so this helps . I know everyone is too busy to answer my emails, and this way I can communicate and feel as if my friends, will stay in touch with me. Am I weird, maybe, but I can't help it. I really hate to let go of my friends, even the ones from my childhood.

Believe it or not, I have even kept up with my first best friend. That was Richard. He lived next door to me in Fort Worth, Texas. We had the best time climbing trees and running around. His mom still lives in the same house, so it's been meaningful to me to keep tabs on him and his family all these almost fifty years. Anyway, that's why I do it. You all have a Happy Father's Day and a great day today. luv, Susan
