The picture you see at the top of this post is of two of my very best friends, Peg and Pearl. I met them at church about 10 years ago and we have been friends ever since. They are so loving and giving...I just have to call and they are right there. One day I was out in the garden and picked up a birdhouse and didn't realize that some wasps had built a nest in it and one stung me on my thumb...and chased me to my patio door!
As I was standing at the sink running cold water over my thumb, and getting woozy (allergic reaction?) I remembered that Pearl had raised 4 boys. I knew she would be able to tell me what to put on the bee sting. I called her and told her what had just happened and that I felt like I was going to "black out." She said, "Just sit down with your head in your lap and I'll be right there!" In a matter of 15 minutes, she showed up at my house with an emergency kit that had bee sting ointment. Within a few minutes, the pain of the sting was subsiding and I was feeling much better. God has blessed me abundantly!
Peggy (in the lilac sweater) is someone else that I can always count on. One time I had asked her to pick me up at the airport at 7:30 pm. But my flight was delayed, delayed again and then delayed once more. I called her from Tampa and told her what was happening and said I wouldn't be getting in until 12:30 or 1:00 in the morning and not to worry that I would get a cab home. She wouldn't hear of it and told me she would be there to meet me no matter what the time was...and she was!
This picture was taken at a Silent Auction/Mystery Theater we attended a few months ago. They were looking over the baskets to be auctioned off.
Here is who I have chosen to take the photo challenge if they haven't already done so as this challenge has been around the blogs awhile.

Where would we be without our good friends? I can't imagine my life without mine. I loved your sweet picture and enjoyed reading about those great ladies!! I'm certain you are right there for them when they need help, too!
Best wishes for a wonderful Easter--will you be spending it with the Bebe? :) Dana
Thanks for including my blog, Jean. I didn't have too many pics on my new laptop; but at home on my computer I was very surprised to find that my sixth pic was of the beach! Yipee!
Sweet Ms.Daisy-
What a lovely tribute to your lovely friends! I'm glad to know more about them and you! Happy Easter. He is Risen Indeed!
What a great picture of two wonderful friends. Thank you for sharing how these dear ladies have befriended you. Thank you for passing the challenge on to me. I just looked at the picture in question on my computer. It is one I have shared before, but I'll share it again one day next week.
Have a wonderful Easter.
