The Women that Made Me ~ Lakeville Girls

I could not have this series

and not mention the friendships that have been with me

basically since the beginning

Meet Rocky (Roxanne), Robyn and Tracey

these girls are my oldest friends

and we are talking elementary school long

I have known Robyn & Tracey since 1971

yeah ~ we are that old!

Robyn & Lori 1981

 this is Robyn & I back in high school

someone dared us to get our picture taken with Santa

yeah ~ don't dare us to do anything!

we started school together

rode each other's bikes

played tag and skipped rope

through the years we grew up together

and did everything together

we were the 3 musketeers

Lori & Tracey 1988

Rocky came into the picture in elementary school as well

a year younger than us ~ and lived a bit further down the road

so I think it was high school when we got close

and created the bond that we still have to this day

Lori & Rocky 2010

this shot was taken at her daughter's wedding in 2010

and is still one of my favourites of the two of us

she became a grandmother this past weekend

and I could not be happier for her

these are the girls that taught me what the word friend really means

we have to the moon and back ~ we really have

celebrated successes ~ marriages ~ births

and we have hugged and dried tears in low times

if I needed anything

any time of day

these are numbers I could call

without thinking twice

and that my friends

is the best feeling ever.

I love these girls.
