A Day For Quotes ~Friends

Every once in a while the power of friendship astounds me.  This last week has once again reminded me of the blessing of friendship.  I have been truly blessed over the years to have acquired some awesome friends and have make many through blogging as well, so I give you Friendship quotes today.

 

Friendships begin because, even without words, we understand how someone feels. ~ Joan Walsh Anglund

 

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down. ~ Arnold H. Glasow

 

 

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything. ~ Muhammad Ali

 

I have learned that to have a good friend is the purest of all God's gifts, for it is a love that has no exchange of payment. ~ Frances Farmer

 

Don't be dismayed at goodbyes, a farewell is necessary before you can meet again and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. ~Richard Bach

Take Me Back Tuesday ~Pork Pullin’

Take me back to 1999…I think.  Should have written the dates on the pictures I guess, you were right Mom!

Sometime in early summer, a bunch of us, bikers and non bikers alike got together every year to provide an overnighter benefit for Easter Seals.  Our group always helped out with the food.

This first picture with the train is actually the BBQ grill that the whole pig was roasted in overnight!  But someone had to get all the lovely Pork off of the bones, hence the Pork Pullin’.  

 

Below is my best friend on the left, and on the right my brother-in-law in the back and hubby in the front!  My best friend and my brother in law are engaged!  Life is strange sometimes, they weren’t even dating back then and were with others.  I can’t even tell you how excited I am that my best friend is going to be my sister!

 

You know you want to dig our your old photos and join in right?!?! Just head on over to Kari’s!

Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. ~Richard Bach

Aloha Friday #1

Yea, so I don’t know what is up with me and actually posting this week, but I thought it was about time to jump in on Aloha Friday’s! If you need an explanation on what this is see the description below from Kailani’s blog at An Island Life!

My question for the week is: How long have you been blogging, and why did you start??

My answer is I officially started my blog in February of 2008, but I am not sure it counts because my very second post was in January of 2009. It was kind of a new years resolution that I actually stuck with!

Why did I start blogging? To have a written record of the lives of my children. Then I found the giveaways…… Then I found the friends!!

Haven’t looked back since. My one regret is that I don’t have more time to do it!

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link on the MckLinky included in the Aloha Friday post. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

I was Tagged, I was Awarded, I was honored!

I have been awarded and tagged 4 times and it is time to recognize some of them.
The first comes from one of the blogs I actually first started leaving comments on. The witty, funny and lovely Fiona from Bantering Blonde!


This award has this nice poem with it:

"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

So I don't have 8 people to pass this on to, but here are a few blogs I have really enjoyed, they are the ones that when there is a new post up in my reader, I jump to get that post read and enjoyed!

Anissa at Our Chaotic Life
Kari at A Giveaway Addicted Mommy
Dawn at Bee and Rose
Amy at Coffee with the Mrs.

Jennifer at EightyMPHMom
Nina at Juggling Mama

I do realize that as everyone has super busy lives this award may not be passed on. (It only took me 3 months). I just wanted you ladies to know how much I have truly enjoyed reading your blogs and getting to know you some!

I was also tagged today O.K. like a week and a half ago, by the lovely Anissa at Our Chaotic Life (she designed my button up there on the left! See it? Go ahead, take it).
Anyway, the tag is go to my picture folder pick the sixth folder and the sixth picture. Here is where I run into problems. I don't have folders, I have most of my pictures in one folder...(I know, I know great organization). So here is what I did to make up for this huge blunder. 6 x 6 = 36 right? So here is the 36th picture in my one huge picture folder.


Isn't she a little cutie? My daughter about 2 weeks shy of 2 years old. April of 2006, it was actually warm enough to go outside in the back yard that day, so we did and had a great time! I have no idea what the salute if for! I remember that I would have been about 8 months pregnant at that time and I took a ton of pictures of her that day.

So, you know there are more rules right?
1) Go to your photo files
2) Pick the sixth folder (open)
3) Pick the 6th photo
4) Write a story about the photo
5) Tag six people

Consider yourself tagged if you wish to play or are in the list that received the award (he he).

I have one more lovely award to pass on and one more tag to participate in....Maybe next weekend I will get caught up. Hope you had a lovely weekend!
