How very sweet when someone I've never "met" thinks I deserve a little something. Thank-you, Miss Peach, for this sweet little surprise.
It does, of course, come with conditions. If I answer these questions, does it get me out of sending a formal thank-you??
1. Do you have the same friends since childhood?
No. We made a couple of big moves during my childhood and that is what I shall blame, thereby taking no personal responsibility.
2. What do you value most about your friends?
That they choose to sit by me even if other people are around. We're deep like that.
3. Are your friends your sounding boards?
Yes, and just so they don't feel pressured, everyone else with whom I have contact during the day also is drafted as a sounding board.
4. What is your favorite activity to share with your friends?
Talkinglaughing. (If it's written as one word, it counts as one item = an old English teacher rule)

Now all I can think of is a banana split. And how much I need one.
That was fun to read, sorry about the loss of you auntie..... and grading those essays
I guess I came to look at just the right time since now I know a little about you.
Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I appreciate.
I got the chills when I was thinking about the ice cream as they still have the air conditioning on in my office at it is barely 60 degrees outside. I love ice cream!!!
This was great fun to read.

you are welcome my friend :)
I enjoyed reading that! I hope that my husband and daughter don't read this post today....if they do, I will have to stop and buy ice cream on the way home!
Sorry about the loss in your family.
10 years ago = size 8, I laughed out loud. Hello. That's my life too. Well, maybe not ten years ago. But the sentiment is the same. And the Old English rule, I totally use that one also. You amuse me. We are kindred spirits for sure.
Coming by through SITS! And I am going through an ice cream thing right now myself! Congrats on the award!
Banana splits, apple pies and good friends?! Sounds like a winner of a combo to me!
