Friendship

Today, I was searching the Denny Davis Site (http://www.dennydavis.net/) for sayings/poems and came across this one. I just love it so much so I had to post it today.

A true friend is one who
Knows you as you really are,
Understands where you've been,
Accepts who you've become,
And still gently invites you to grow.

This is just rang so true for me. I need to remember this poem and hope to be the same kind of good friend in return. I am definitely the kind of person who *needs* other people, especially to listen to my trials and tribulations. I need to be sure that I'm as good of a friend when the tables are turned.

Mini Golf!

Our family loves to play Putt Putt when we're in Myrtle Beach. There are a bazillion miniature golf courses in the MB area and we played twice this past trip. I took a bunch of pictures, of course, and here are a few of them. :) :) :)

You're Gonna Miss This

This song is by Trace Adkins. I'd heard it a few times, but this morning I heard it on CMT and this one section really "got to me". How true?! I'd take back those years when the boys were little and things were a *lot* more hectic around here. It's so hard for me to watch them grow up so fast. I never thought I was such a melancholy person until I became a mother. Here are the lyrics that really touched me....

"Five years later there's a plummer workin' on the water heater, Dogs barkin' phones ringin' one kid's cryin' one kid's screamin', And she keeps apologizing, he says they don't bother me I got 2 babies of my own one's 36 one's 23 it's hard to believe

But you're gonna miss thisYou're gonna want this backYou're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fastThese are some good times so take a good look aroundYou may not know it nowBut you're gonna miss thisYou're gonna miss thisYeah, you're gonna miss this"

Outside Pictures from Myrtle Beach

Are you sick of seeing my MB pics yet? Well too bad. LOL.

Here are some outside pictures of the boys. Seeing these pictures makes me yearn for spring even more. ** sigh **

Spring Please Come Soon!

I know that March 21st is the official date, but here in the Northeast, Spring doesn't really start to show up for awhile. I have a few Crocus' popping up and a few perennials are showing life, but it's otherwise dreary out there. All of the Bradford pears are in bloom down in Myrtle Beach, but as you can see here, ours only has a few buds on it. I'm honestly just sick of winter and really want spring to come. I didn't think I'd want to get out into the gardens and work since we might move, but I always look forward to this time of year when everything comes alive again. It will be nice to see all of my flowers/plants come back again for what could be the very last time (even though I plan on cutting a few and digging out a few to take with me. LOL). Anyway, I just had to get that out and say that Spring needs to show up here soon. Pretty please!

Myrtle Beach Pictures

Here are some more pictures from last week's trip to MB. :)

Cleo's Myrtle Beach Pics

Of course, I had some photo opps with Cleo while at the Beach. She just loves it down there and is "around" more often, so I have to snap pictures of her.
