Hope you are having a perfect Monday!
A friend is like a shade tree
Beside a summer way.
A friend is like the sunshine
That makes a perfect day.
A friend is like a flower
That's worn close to the heart.
A friend is like a treasure
With which one will not part.

Hope you are having a wonderful day my blessed friend :)
Put your head on my shoulder
No need to worry about a thing
I'll be the cure for your loneliness
I'll make you feel like your whole again
And you can always count on me wherever I may be
When this world's got you feelin blue
Call on me and I'll run to you
My friend
On my wings we both can fly
Cause there's no burden big enough
And when you're hurtin baby so am I and we'll both cry
There's nothin stronger than our love
And you can always count on me, wherever I may be
Oh I'm gonna find the way
To a better day
My friend
So let me be the one to save ya
Cause its the least that I can do
And you don't have to return the favor
Cause I promise you
Oh we're gonna make it thru
My friend
Put your head on my shoulder
No need to worry about a thing
If you need me I'll be there in a hurry
Call on me, time and time again
Cause you're my friend

The two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
I am always running here and there
I feel I'm not wanted anywhere
If I ever look behind
And don't like what I find
There's something I know
I've got a place to go
I used to say, "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Most people would turn me away
You don't listen to a word they say
They don't see me as you do
I wish that they would try to
Maybe they'd think again
If they had a friend like You

Friends are like flowers
each unique in their own way,
put them all together
what a wonderful bouquet.
Some are really brilliant
full of light sharp and clear,
while other are more subdued
to both you can adhere.
You are a flower in my garden
that makes up my bouquet,
my friends you all make
a very impressive display

Subject: GOF Friends And A Special one for Aussies!
Wanted to send these real quick before I go to work.
Count on me through thick and thin
A friendship that will never end
When you are weak
I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say
Count on me
I can see it's hurting you
I can feel your pain
It's hard to see the sunshine through the rain
I know sometimes it seems as if
It's never gonna end
But you'll get through it
Just don't give in cuz you can
I know sometimes it seems as if
We're standing all alone
But we'll get through it
Cuz love won't let us fall
There's a place inside all of us
Where our faith in love begins
You should reach to find the truth in love
The answers' there within, oh
I know that life can make you feel
It's much harder than it really is
But we'll get through it Just don't give in

Subject: GOF - A Surprise for GrammyJ
Actually I already showed the pages to GrammyJ because I was getting really anxious and I thought it would be good to let her see them before the bandwidth limit was used up by others viewing them. I hope you will all look at how they turned out because they are really something special. I guess that's because they were made for a very special lady. Be sure to sign the guestbook while you're there, if you haven't already.

If you have more gifts or thoughts you would like added to the pages, just send them to me and I will add them.
Here is GrammyJ's reaction to the pages. I think she was just a little surprised. She wasn't too shocked to make some beautiful gifts for us though.
Denise,
Now I know not to trust you unless I want the shock of my life and want to shed great big puppy dog tears!
I am in total shock. How did you send this around without sending to me???
And Paula, this story is just darling! You need to write children's books! When I read this story, I thought you must be a teacher!
I want to send a personal thank you to everyone, but it may take me days!!! There are so many wonderful things here.
I just do not know what to say to express my love and thanks enough. I am so used to expressing myself with graphics LOL
The Garden and everyone in it mean the world to me. When I say I love my Garden family, I mean it.
Denise and Paula, I just don't know what to say to thank you properly.
And Garden Friends, your gifts are beautiful. And I am rambling LOL
From the bottom of my heart...THANK YOU!
Loving Hugs,
GrammyJ
And remember...

Hello my friend. Wishing you a very bright to a new week! (my last before Christmas break! LOL)
Make it a good one!
Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
your heart is true you're a pal and a confidant
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see, the biggest gift would be from me
and the card attached would say,
Thank you for being a friend
And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear, even though it's hardly here
I will stand real close and say,
Thank you for being a friend
And when we die, and float away
I'll see you there, and once again
Thank you for being a friend
