FRIENDS

 

A BEST FRIEND

A best friend
is always there,
whether you need advice,
or a pep talk,
or even a shoulder to cry on.
A best friend
listens with her heart
and is always honest with you,
even though the truth
may not be
what you want to hear.
A best friend
knows all your secrets,
understands your fears
shares your dreams.
A best friend
never stops believing in you
even if you give up
on yourself.
you are
that kind of friend
to me.
And no matter what happens,
you always will be.
You are my best friend....
my forever friend.

Family Ties

 

My family came to be with me after my first chemotherapy in Little Rock. The side effects didn't happen immediately so we went for a little walk at Pinnacle point. Notice the trail was really a river due to all the heavy rain that we had been getting!! However that didn't stop us from us giving it a try!!

 

"Smooches"

 

 

Hannah had the camera and couldn't resist a foot shot,,, we all love our pedicures!!!!

Serenity

 

Today was a mixture of joy and happiness mixed in with a little sadness. Had gotten a few more things done around the House that i had been neglecting.

But its so hard when the lake is calling your name,,,, Karla, KARLA, come on and play for a little!!!

 

Today the wind was perfect and the water was like glass!!!

 

Another spectacular Sunset on bull Shoals Lake

Lake Time

 

Charis has her new summer haircut and it is so stinking cute!!!!

 

I just love her little bathing suit,,,, can you say cheeky,,,

 

No day at the lake is complete without inflatable toys!!! Logan was so busy swimming with his life vest on that I never really go a good pic of him, but I did get some good smooches!!

 

Chuck enjoying time with his family,,, he is such a great dad!!! Gotta love that smile!!!
