Doodlebug

Friday was the Doodlebugs 10th birthday. My how time flies. Life was so simple back then. I was working Baylor and was home with her thru the week. I remember when she was born I had never felt that close to a human being before. She was a happy, chunky, and healthy baby. People would comment that she was the Gerber baby. She would wear a hat and never try to take it off. On Friday we took her up to Discover Mills and let her do some shopping. We brought Parker and McKay with us. Then we all had dinner at Medieval Times. She was knighted by the king and had her birthday announced during the show. I hope she had a wonderful day! She is a joy to raise.

Georgia

We helped with a 40th birthday party last night for one of my dearest friends, Georgia Collier. I met Georgia when I was 27. Our husbands grew up together in the same neighborhood. I had started a new job at Athens Womens Clinic and her husband Curt was doing medical sales for the office. I remember telling him that I would love to meet his wife and he told me to call her and see if we could set up dinner. I called her and found her to be such a warm and engaging person over the phone. We set up a dinner at my house but then her son Harris caught a virus. In a few weeks Georgia invited us to their home and I guess as they say, "the rest is history". Our children, Harris and Doodlebug bonded and so did we. We have see each other through good times and bad. I had 2 more children and she had one more. She was with me when I had Bro-Bro. I couldn't think of anyone (other then Darrell) that I wanted there more. She has seen me through my mother's cancer, Sabina's 10 month fight with cancer, and the loss of our precious EA. And when I say she has seen me through what I really mean is she has been right there with me. She is the friend that keeps on giving. If you truly know her then your life is never the same. I am so thankful that God sent her to me.
