I was just going through all my Newfoundland photos, including some I downloaded from Val's, M's and K's cameras, looking for the ones taken during our weekend in Gros Morne...and found the following. I must have seen these before, but when I came across them again just now, I burst out laughing. Our semi-matching expressions just struck me as hilarious. I am thinking ok, my friend, we spent two weeks constantly together, moods and warts and all, without feeling in the least bit sick of each other's company...I'd say our friendship is now carved in stone for all eternity!

Valerie giving me "the look"...I have no idea what I did to deserve it!
Me, clearly not so thrilled with her...I don't know why that was either!

Well this friendship certainly hasn't always been easy, but it is absolutely wonderful, uplifting, strengthening. The challenges only bring us closer together. Valerie once said that, in me, she has found someone she can trust, share with and even make mistakes with, and still be assured of my care and love. I can't think of a more perfect description of a best friend. And in her, I have found the same...what more could we want? ♥

Guess we saw all our different moods. Not sure what the looks were communicating but obviously nothing too bad since neither of us can remember.

Hi Anne, I had to giggle reading this post this morning and looking at your photos. The quotes you found and the comments you and Valerie wrote are so true and appropriate.
I agree with Maria, your friendship with Valerie is very special.
Thank you for writing this wonderful post on friendship. Have a great day!

Kathy, it's my pleasure to have brought a giggle to your morning!
I think a big part of what makes our friendship special is that we are both learning and growing as we go...and it's very cool that we can share our crappy moods too. :)

Your photo is so funny! My first thought was "Oh what did I do to get Anne mad at me?!?"

Ha! Chiocciola, that's too funny. Clearly I'm not very good at hiding my feelings!
