'Tis the season...for birthdays!
Today marks my friend Karin's birthday...
My Karin lives across the big lake right now
and that makes me sad for me
but happy for her...
So with you, I will share a few pics of my friend...

I don't think there is anyone I enjoy sitting in the rain with more
while watching an incredible electric storm light up the sky...

Rarely does one meet someone who is just as slightly crazy as oneself...
but alas, God was good and crossed my path with one who is. :)

Sometimes we just have to strike out and reach for our dreams.
My friend inspires me on so many levels.

My friend, may this next year of your journey be filled with laughter and love...
and many days such as this that you can recall in the hard times.
Thanks for all the fun times...and I look forward to sooo many more!
Shalom, Karin...and Happy Birthday! :)
