Family And Friends
Nothing Else Counts In This World!
Introduction To Family & Friends
Friendship counts!
Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts. ~Author Unknown
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through
life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding
shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting
pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending,
and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma
Bombeck
Those quotes pretty much describes this collection of people!
If you don't believe in ghosts, you've never been to a family reunion. ~Ashleigh Brilliant
To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there. ~Barbara Bush
