If you are not old enough to understand the title of this post, "The Fab Four" than don't bother reading on. You probably won't get it.
If you ARE old enough, then let me expand on that a bit. I experienced my own FAB FOURsome. Actually I'm writing about it because I only just realized it existed...and now it is dissolving!
For the last 3 years I have enjoyed the fun, friendship, frenzy and all-around companionship, right here in my job, of 3 wonderful ladies that have come to be my very close friends. We have struggled through many business difficulties, lots of change, much drama (thanks to our children), and innumerable laughs. Now, 2 of them are moving on to new positions in the company, so inevitably our relationships will change. Probably not for the worse, but still different. It makes me just a little sad, because I have shared with them a relationship like I haven't had since grade school. We have giggled, gotten teary, gotten yelled at, celebrated successes, schemed, and shared complaints and joys. I felt like a kid again. More importantly, they helped me grow. Alot, and in many ways. I am very grateful. And if you are reading this and you are one of the Fab Four (you know who you are)..thank you and I love you.

Return From Chaos
It's been a busy busy 6 weeks. About mid-May, our house caught fire. yea.
Exactly. It was awful. A fan in a bathroom ceiling shorted out and apparently started something smoldering. Even though the circuit breaker cut off the power, the smoldering mustered its way into a full fledged fire...in a ceiling in our home.
Luckily, a friend was actually in the house when the smoke alarm went off. Although she couldn't see any fire, she got the dogs out of the house and called the fire department (BLESS HER!). She, along with the fire department (BLESS THEM TOO!) and the Hand of God (THANK YOU!) saved our home from complete destruction.
Although this is damned inconvenient, I actually am very grateful that nothing of really 'value' was lost. We consider ourselves very lucky.
So that has kept me pretty busy for a while. We are working on putting our lives back in order and with God's help we will get there soon.
Happy landings!
