Who isn't inspired by friends?!
While I am inspired by many, I have pictures of few, and am inspired by all!
Old friends, new friends, young friends, antique friends, live friends and friends who have passed.
I dare say I am also inspired by friends I haven't even met yet!
A few of my inspirational friends are;
Terri, who has inspired me in numerous ways since our children were young and we were over the fence neighbor's on Sugar Lane. We raised children, garden's and pets. We would go for walks and raid ditch banks for flowers and talk...
Together with Wendy, they taught me to Tole paint, play Bunco, and we would make homemade gifts for each other. Most of my Christmas decorations were made by these two!
Among new friends who inspire me are, Beautiful Jules...
Who is my Sister's, Sister-in-law...

She is an amazing person and Artist!!
From her paintings and incouragement I am my finding courage to try my hand at water color painting and I know she will be thrilled that I tried!
Her daughter Krisit is as delightful as others in their family I have had the privledge of knowing and meeting!
Kristi adds to her busy life, Author, Photographer, Speaker, and most recently Interpreter.

Lana, is a woman of distinguished courage and ability, admired for her brave deeds and noble qualities as well as an inspiration to all who know her!!!
Yvonne was my Sister's, friends, Mother.
(Wheshoe!)
Our neighbor's across the street while growning up. In later life we became good friends-the oldest from the neighborhood and the Youngest. She adopted me after her friend, my Mother passed away. She incouraged me then as well as now!
I learned much more than I know from her!
A friend I haven't met-though I find incourages me every time I read her book or peruse her blog is a young woman named Kelly Rae Roberts...

Smile and remember;
We're fool's whether we dance or not. So we might as well dance.
You keep some exceptionally fine company, don't you?
