WHO IS YOUR BEST FRIEND?






    HOW MANY BEST FRIENDS CAN YOU     
                                 HAVE?


Happy Monday! Are we allowed to have more then one best friend?  In one of my blogs last week I referred to Sven as my best friend, and a couple of days ago, in my Father's day blog I said that my dad and I are now best friends. I also consider my mom my best friend. Of course my husband is my bestest friend( is there such a word?). I adore both of my brothers. They are individually my best friends. 
Now, how about my kids? We are, as a family, developing our relationship into a very profound friendship. Then there is an ex-best girlfriend. Can someone "best" be one day "ex"?
So is there such a thing as Best Friend? One and only!? I am very confused. I am confused and guilty even more when I introduce one best friend to another. I sound like a liar and a phony.

Isn't it ironic that as we get older we have less friends, but more "Best friends". When we were kids we had lots of friends but only one best friend. So when are we more honest? Then or now?






                  DRAWER -A- DAY


Well, ok. That was not a drawer. It was an obscure broom closet, that I was avoiding for years. The reason I even decided to take this project on was my 13 year old son who was seriously acting up  and needed labor therapy. After 2 hours in a dim closet unearthing all kinds of "treasures"he was sooooo happy to be done!

AFTER
I found some artworks that I displayed. I am not afraid of this closet anymore!


TREASURES I FOUND

Almost every time I have a project like this I find something interesting, useful or something somebody lost a long time ago. This time I found fabulous things.

   1. A brand new tanning mat I got as a free gift many years ago when I bought a truck load of cosmetics.
          2. Four brand new wedding picture albums. Have no idea where they came from. My wedding was a century before we even bought the house.



3. A portrait of the Prime Minister of Ireland and his wife with my face photoshoped between them by my father-in-law.

4. Beautiful shell shaped candles
