As you might remember mom took a few days off in early July she and Dad went to visit Annette, Steve and MacGyver in
Richmond, Virginia.
Below is a picture of Mom (on the left) and Annette.
Mom and Annette have been friends for 50 years...they
met in 9th grade. A friendship like theirs
is Beautiful and they have had many special Moments.
Mom and Annette have 87 million things in common
especially their love of hummingbirds
These pictures were taken at Louis Ginter Botanical Gardensin Richmond. Annette took mom to this
beautiful hummingbird bench...thanks Dad for
taking this photo.
The botanical gardens had beautiful outdoor art
Every moment mom turned her head she saw something
beautiful.
Mom told me to see Beautiful you must open your eyes to
new and exciting things...so we are adding one more
beautiful photo....of Me...now bear in mind
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder at any Moment
ARE YOU READY?

MOM SAID MY EARS WERE ALREADY BAT LIKE AND MY FANGS WERE SHOWING.
MOL, Madi! My human is always impressed by people who have been friends for decades - she doesn't know anybody she knew in school anymore. She ran into a couple of them a few years ago on social media and, well, they just had nothing in common!
ReplyDeleteSHE nearly spat her Sauvignon Blanc at the screen at that last photo, Madi!
ReplyDeleteSHE has some friends like that....it's great!
That are pawsome that your momma has had such a nice friendship!
ReplyDeleteThere are few things more beautiful than a long lasting friendship. We loves the garden they visited and those beautiful benches.

ReplyDeleteMommy says the best way to cope in today's world is to look at the positive side of things and not pick at the negative. It's not easy but she tries!
That is so great that the Mom got to have a visit with her good friend. They must have had such a good time and what fun to see all those hummingbirds. Hope everyone has a great Friday.
