I guess those are the ones who are true blue. I'm blessed to have 2 of those. One is local & one lives further away. Thank goodness for email b/c I'm one of those who doesn't like to talk on the phone. Otherwise, I'm a quiet, keeps-to-herself kind of person. Thoughtful post that I enjoyed reading.https://www.vintagesouthernpicks.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06005937023577046274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-5907141120125701932016-09-16T06:40:09.596+08:002016-09-16T06:40:09.596+08:00You're so blessed to have carried so many frie...You're so blessed to have carried so many friendships!
