Dinner with a friend

Our great friend Ginger came into town for the weekend. We were going to get together Saturday, but ended up meeting for dinner at our favorite Mexican Restaurant Friday night. I didn't tell the girls she was coming so they were both very surprised to see her at the restaurant. It was great visiting with her, looking at her pictures of her new life, laughing and catching up on life. She moved about 18 months ago. It was a very sad day. Ginger is not only a great friend, but a mother and sister all in one.

We love her dearly! Ginger has seen more then her share of heartache, but keeps on with a positive attitude. She makes me want to be a better friend, mother, wife, and sister. My life is better because I know her, which makes my families life better.

We love you Ginger more then you will ever know, thank you for spending the evening with us.
