friendship

I owe a great deal of thanks to these women and their children and what they have taught me. You all make Seattle bearable in June (and the rest of the year) when the sky is gray and cold and cloudy. Thanks for all the laughs, tears, discussions. I have this ditty stuck in my head that I learned in third grade and came back to me when I was looking at this picture

"friendship is a priceless gift that can't be bought or sold
its value is far greater then mountains made of gold
if you should as God for a gift be grateful if he sends
not diamonds, pearls or rubies but the love and trust of friends"

Kinda cheesy...but hey.... you guys rock!
