Buddy weekend 2012 has come and gone. It is always a shame that a time you look forward to for so long passes so quickly. It is one of my favorite weekends of the year. It is a short trip to Richland Chambers Lake to spend time with a group of very dear friends.
The temperature...brutal! It really did not matter. We could literally "Go Jump In The Lake"! The water was perfect and thanks to ample rainfall this spring it was deep enough for jet skis and pontoon boat cruises.
When the heat became too intense there was time for iPhone games and iPads...that is what is so great about such good friends. There is simply no pressure to do anything but just be comfortable.
Even the guys take being comfortable seriously. Three men and a nap on the back of a boat.
It totally gives the brain time to rechange for discussing...WHATEVER!!!
I read that true friendship is like a seedling that grows into a strong tree. It weathers many storms and does not break. We are that strong tree. At our stage of life it becomes difficult to plant new seedlings and develop those friendships into a sturdy tree with someone new. I am so thankful for the fact that we have been planted in our community for 42 years. Those are our friends and that is our history.
"A friend is someone who knows all about you and likes you anyway"....
SO VERY TRUE!
