jane's day

Today we celebrated our friend Jane's birthday, one of those big ones. She said over and over, no parties, no fuss, but we just couldn't follow that direction. We surprised her with a garden lunch and a table full of lifetime friendship and love. All week I have been working on a scrapbook for her that was a collection of all of our thoughts and memories...notes about what her friendship means to each of us. It was a wonderful project to have, so full of affection and appreciation. I am a little sad to be finished with it, but glad it is in her hands at last. Too emotional to read and share at lunch, I imagine Jane curled up now, reading what each of us had to say. Hope she kept that sniffles tissue pack I wrapped with it. We love her, our Jane. It was a sweet day- wishing her many, many more.  xoC

What a lovely way to celebrate your dear friend's "big" birthday. I've got one coming up next May...yikes!

How nice....a scrapbook! People can tell you how much they mean to you but the written word is so much more powerful b/c you can savor it over and over again. Luck Jane!

I can't begin to express my love and thanks to Charlotte.

The God's were lined up properly on the day she walked by my house years ago with her beloved Jake and we said our first hellos!

A life long friendship began on that day and is nurtured everyday in everyway.

I'll always be there for her!!

What a special gift, for a special friend. Our friends are what makes life so full and rich and rewarding.

It's gifts like yours that are the best, because I don't know who enjoys it more, the maker or the receiver!
