People come in and out of lives all the time, it is only every once in awhile when a true friend comes in and stays. Sometimes it is for just a short while and some others are there a lot longer. No matter how long they hang around, they always seem to make a impact on your life and your life a little lighter.
I had the pleasure of talking to my long time friend on the phone the other night, as I sit here and blog I realize we have been friends for about 18 years....WOW!! 18 years is a long time, and we have been
through a lot in those 18 years and still when we get the rare chance to talk, we pick up right where we left off. Though the content of our conversations have changed
through out the years from cute boys, to is he the one, to I am getting married, to listen to what my kids have been doing. No matter what, there is still the love of laughing together, laughing at each other, laughing at ourselves, that makes our rare conversations such a treat.
Tonight
Junebug is at a friends house, spending the night, and I can only hope that no matter what she chooses in life to become or the battles of life that she may endure, that she is as lucky as I have been, when it comes to friends.
A lot of my happiest memories have been when I have been with friends.
So if you are reading this and haven't made time for a friend, because YOU HAVE BEEN TOO BUSY.....Stop and make time to let them know how important they are to you! Life is short, there might not be a
tomorrow to let them know.
This afternoon the kids played outside, there was a slight breeze so the mosquitoes were not around...wahooo! Stinkbug was ecstatic to have his big sister home, since she ended up spending another night at her friends house and not getting home to this morning. 
Here are some pictures of Junebug's projects that she took to the fair and of the kids at the fair. Stinkbug is trying to cut his top 5 teeth all at once, he does not have any at this point, so he is pretty miserable and did not enjoy it that much. I gritted my teeth and went on rides with Junebug, which did not agree with me, I am going to blame it on the stomach flu we were all getting over instead of age. HEHE!! 
Today is a sad day, my sister, we will call her "pretty fish", has left us, after living with us for the summer. It was sure fun to have her around for the summer. She says that she had the best summer ever, I want to believe it was because she was living with us, but I have a sneaking suspicion that is because she met a boy. WE WILL MISS YOU AUNT PRETTY FISH!!! 
Junebug attended "Glam Camp" for a day and learned how to take care of her hair and nails properly, and then all the girls got their hair and nails done and got to walk down the red carpet at the end of the day for the parents. Here are some pictures after she was done for the day. You have to love the model pose, that she also learned, hehehe. Sorry the pictures are still sideways, tried the trick that my friend told me and it did not work. I will play with it more this weekend, just tilt your head sideways!!
Junebug is in 4-H this year and one of her projects is photography and so I thought I would share some the pictures she took. I thought she did a superb job, but I could be a little biased. The fair is at the end of this week. Though she is considered a cloverbud, which means she actually does not place at the fair, she just receives participation ribbons, which she is just as excited about. She take great pride in her work and thinks that maybe when she grows up she will be a farmer and a photographer on the side. Works for me!!
