My friend Craig C.

Craig posted on FB today that he was already missing the Dance. I immediately thought of a 2nd grade art project that my mom recently found while cleaning out her garage.
Take a look.....

Page 1: Please note the use of shading on the sides & roof of the house...artistic genius at such a young age. ha!

Page 2: The phone number is blocked to protect the innocent. But yes, it is still his parents number. :-)

Page 3:Happy times with my friend Craig C.

After I got done laughing, I thought how this innocent art project from years ago is a testament to the ties that bind these Venerable Companions together. Bonds of friendship that time or miles do not erase, but instead strengthen. Many of us have been friends for 35 years or more! Truly amazing. So don't be sad, Craig. While Tango 2010 will feel lonely without you, we know you will be there in spirit.

To all the Venerable Companions...Thank you for being my friend.
(Cue the Golden Girls theme song.)

Really 35 years? That is funny and Thank you for your friendship.

I can remember going to a birthday party for Genine at about this age. I remember it distinctly because we all got a 3" wind up Woodstock or Snoopy from Genine as a gift. I got the Woodstock.

We are certainly lucky to still have ties to people who have touched our lives in such amazing ways.

Start training now Craig...because we really would love to have you back for 2011. Heck...the girls are looking for an excellent orienteering/canoeing coach. Maybe you would like to switch teams???!!!
