Dear Friends Here

Sometimes in life we often receive the unexpected blessing of making friends who are absolutely delightful, understanding, fun to be around, and who share many of the same thoughts and convictions as we do. That has been particularly true for us here in Kerrville at the Guadalupe River RV Resort. For the past two years our friendships have grown abundantly and have provided us with the happiest of days, even while working. 1HW has referred to several of the men he works with, so if you have been reading his blogs, you understand. But since I have not been blogging as regularly, I have not mentioned the outstanding people here, and it dawned on me that I should be singing their praises to the skies!

We met Byron, Julie, and Ron last year, and the five of us just kind of began hanging around together. We can all fit into Julie and Ron's Ford or our old Buick, which provides a very humorous vision. My position is in the middle of the back seat because I have the shortest legs. Chuck and Julie trade off in the front passenger seat with more leg room. Either Chuck or Ron drives. Sometimes there is a cooler in the trunk, but we always leave room for the packages we are sure to find and bring home. We are already thinking about a field trip to Gruene (pronounced Green) for some shopping and lunch at the Gristmill. We frequently end up spending a cocktail hour (or two or three) and one of our places, then maybe gravitating to an other's for a campfire, as we do not have a firepit at our place. Everybody brings food and drink to share, so sometimes we find we do not even need to think of dinner. The one constant factor in all of our outings is the laughter. It does not seem to matter what time of day, where we are, what we are doing or talking about; within a few minutes we are all cracking up laughing about one thing or another. It a warm, comfortable friendship, as though we had all grown up together and known each other for years. I just know, regardless of whatever we plan in our future, that we will all remain friends and continue to keep in touch and see each other. What a blessing, indeed!!! Thank you, dear friends! Next time I'll write about my great co-workers! Look out, ladies!
