My Friends Are My Family

Today I'm grateful for....

Seeing Jeff and his band play, and being blown away! A great show and good times with wonderful friends.

Spending New Years with family. Even though Lisa was sick and Billy had to take her home early, I was happy to be with family.

Winning at cards, ...AND ship captain crew!!

Lots of time with Josh,...my cultured redneck :)

That my sisters and I are "with" three best friends from Crawfordsville who all grew up together, how crazy is that? So when we get together we really are family!

Talking with Gary, Jess, and Dis on new years.

Knowing my friends are my family.

Everyone being safe.

Taylor spending her new years eve with her very best friend, Stephanie and her family.

Technology allowing me to stay connected with all the people I love dearly.

A wonderful message from my beloved Kevin,...passing on some parental knowledge to a dear friend.

Commitments :)

Seeing pictures of jones and her mamma, just beautiful.

Looking forward to time with my girls, Gail and Erika this weekend.

Knowing Taylor will have a great time at her friends party this evening and that Kelsey will have a fantastic time at her kareoke party on Friday ...it's at the old Lafayette Theater down town! So excited to venture back into that era of my life,...I worked there once upon a time when it was still a theater.

A message every morning from Josh, letting me know he's thinking of me.

Cooking for someone who loves my food and loves to eat.

Josh's new apartment coming together so easily, the electric being turned on today, and plans to help him move this weekend. oooh, and knowing we'll have great weather for moving!

I also saw a coyote crossing a field near my mom's house at sunset..first one I've ever seen outside of a zoo,..... wonder if it was the same evening as Jones's story?

Hot baths.

yummy home made vegetable soup, and hearing my loved ones love my meals.

Passing my paintings on to people I love.

Lots of mud and corn on my jeep! Being so deep in the muddy water it was washing up over the windshield and making it hard to see! ....not getting stuck :)

Good things are happening for the people I love.

You my gorgeous muddy field, you.
