Earlier today I received the most beautiful birthday gift a friend can give. A personal phone call from Karen (Kttyhwk4) all the way from Arkansas to Australia.

A chance to talk to, and hear the voice of, someone so dear to me is the best gift I could ever imagine.
Who would ever believe that friendships could grow, and mean so much, even though we may never meet.
Even Ray was totally chuffed to join in our conversation and I'm sure Karen had no idea what he was talking about when he started on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the (newer) harbour tunnel that runs underneath it. LOL!!!!
Thank you my dear friend for making me feel so special.
Hugs and love, Sis

That was so nice! I guess sometimes I'm still in the dark ages; I can handle long-distance, but that's REALLY long distance. How wonderful that friends can connect this way, and that she thought enough of you to do it. Thanks for sharing, you're really blessed. Hugs, Love, Marji
