Friends are so important to women and we need them. Some of my best friends I am also related to, a little younger than me that are extra special as we understand each other due to our backgrounds. <br /><br />Love Winnie the Pooh:)) Always makes me smile, such a wise bear.

How nice to have a book club consisting of cherished friends, and of course, having an in-law that is so dear is a treasure! I'm at an age where friends who were parents of my daughter's school pals have slipped away now that my daughter graduated from high school. Need a new friend, or two. I just won't put up with drama or insincerity, so I find alone time (or time with hubby and daughter) is more rewarding than spending time with gossipers, etc. Have a great weekend ahead! :)<br />Micupofteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681897135304690115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-28424919295745571082014-08-14T23:00:42.857-04:002014-08-14T23:00:42.857-04:00What a lovely post, Deborah.

You wouldn't know that from the professions I have chosen (former teacher, current image consultant), but we all have our little secrets. And, yes, what would we do w/out friends, especially when family are more than 3000 miles away in another country. <br /><br />Cheers, M-TMarie-Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834644226980732441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-65667887957727125212014-08-14T21:42:14.821-04:002014-08-14T21:42:14.821-04:00That was a nice post Deborah.

My spouse is disabled and we spend many hours alone but we do have special friends that we enjoy on occasion and of course, my beloved blogging friends. My childhood friend, Amy, is visiting this Sat. We don't see each other but twice a year, but the talk flows freely.<br />Thankful to have met you and I enjoy your blog very much.

What a nice photo of you and your friend. I think SSIL is a much better title than "the other grandmother," which is what I tend to call my son's mother-in-law.
