[My] Life in Wisconsin

Friends Like Jenny!

Good Sunday Morning to all;

I woke early, and almost panicked because I had fallen asleep on the couch and there was NO Punk by me. (When I do this, she will either lie at my side, at the end of the couch, or even on the floor)...

I called out for her...

No response. ??????????

I ran upstairs then... and asleep in my bed was Punkie AND CaseyAnne. Punk will not leave her side either; even though I have been up for hours already.

(Methinks Punkie is playing favorites)! ...And yes, Casey IS in there!

Casey had come out yesterday afternoon after getting her prescriptions, and also having a headache to boot. Poor kid. Her friend Jenny Mella also was here, and I'd drifted off late last night then to the sounds of their laughter and voices. (Nice that)...

Reminiscent of their high school days... "Trouble Times Two" hehehe

KC and Jenny (Casey just home from the hospital; 2005)... And together for 'twin~day' at school!

Jenny has proven her friendship time and time again... And as Casey was sick, has shown up every single time (at the hospital and here), to just "be there" for her. It is friends like Jenny that make our worlds go around. A constant and undeniable force in our own little worlds.

Jenny has been to the hospital to sit with Casey to worry with/about her... (and yes, even to make fun of her)! {Sadly, one of Caseys longtime, 'good' friends even walked away when Casey had part of her lung removed last year. She had come to visit Casey in the hospital. Casey admittedly was pretty drugged up, and could barely even talk, let alone "focus". The doctors had her on 'dilaudid' because nothing else really worked for her pain... KC had attempted to make a joke which had upset this person, and this person has since told her that it cannot be fixed. I hope that this person never has to know that same shallow friendship in her life. But hey, "karma" might interfere with that; knowing what goes around ALWAYS comes around}...

But this is not about that... It is a blog about good friends! The ones that know us, inside and out ~and love us in spite of it all... (or even MORE), ~because of it all!

Labor Day 2005 KC, Zack, Ami and Jenny!
They are all so crazy~close still!

.

I "stole" the following from one of your own blogs a while back; and it is so beautiful!

.

"FAMILY" too.
.

Just because as Grandma Rita would have said, "without that, you got NOTHING."

.

And now it is time to start my own day. (I had begun this blog HOURS ago, and got side~tracked with everything else)! Heck, I even got sidetracked WITHIN my own blog!!!

Casey has just left for mass, and I still have much wash to catch up on. Only 27 degrees right now, but is so bright and 'sunshiny' outside!!! I will hang a few things on the line too! Hmmmmm.... Am I the only person in the world that still uses a clothesline???

Must get busy...

Here's hoping that you all have recovered from your green beer, and Guinesses!

Have a lovely "Sun"day!

XOXO
Anne

OFF I go!

****... as I go dancing out to the clothesline now!!!!
hehehe
