Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.

My whole life has been amazing -- I have 7 truly great friends ~ lots of really good friends but 7 truly great friends.  You know, the kind of friends that are always there in the good and the bad, ones that you may not have seen for years and you don't feel like you have missed a beat.  You can sit down and pick up right where you left off with them.  Friends that you know when you need to talk, they are always ready to listen and don't have to give you advice unless you ask for it.

My 7 truly great friends know who they are and they know that I love them dearly ~ they know they can call me as well anytime.  Of course, all my friends can call me most anytime ~ I will bake some cinnamon rolls and we can visit.

Let me know ahead of time so I can make some to enjoy.
