Dear Friends by danette

Dear Friends

We have an annual Christmas party at our house with a small group of friends. We used to all go to the same church and were part of a bible study. When we went our separate ways, we actually reformed with another bible study. We have been getting together for about 20 years. Only one couple is missing as the husband had major surgery this week. Overall, we have much to be thankful for.

Tomorrow's word for Dec12 is "family or friends" but since we had our party today, I am using this.
How wonderful. I like your framing too.

Very nice photo, and you managed to star your villages in the background! Did you use a timer and run? :-)

Happy looking group! And what a beautiful face you have...the smile, the hair, the teeth....gorgeous! Oopps, forgive me!

Nice looking group of people! I like the framing, too!

Nice framing - great friendships are hard to come by, it is lovely that you are all still getting together after all this time.

@anzere03 Thank you! Of course the village would have to be the backdrop! Yes, I turned on the timer and ran. Had to take several. One other was "better" except one had their eyes closed. By this one, they were getting weary with me. Once, I pressed the timer and almost didn't get there in time!

@billsouth Aw, thanks, Bill! They were looking happier about 6 photos before this one!!

@ariel817 Thanks, Linda, I wanted to make it special.

@purdey I agree totally. Have lost a few friendships lately that have crushed me. These are very special people and it was so unfortunate the one couple couldn't attend but he is lucky to still be here. Friends are a real treasure.

Isn't it great when reunited with old friends? I hope you had a great time together!

@skipt07 Absolutely! We even scheduled our meetings for 2013 for the first time because we failed miserably in 2012.

Your village is providing great backdrop. You look gorgeous.

@bardejov Thanks for your kind words! :-) They always want the Christmas party here because they love the Christmas feel. Gives me a reason a decorate.
