Happy Birthday Floozie!

Today is my friend Floozie's birthday. What can I tell you about her?

I can tell you she is one of the kindest people I have ever met.

She has a very tender heart and and a contagious laugh.


She is a wonderful hostess, mentor, and friend.

She is genuine and loving. She loves the Lord Jesus and is a walking example of His Grace.

Any time I am with her, there will always be laughter and fun.

She is my sister in every way that counts and I know I can always count on her to pray for me, encourage me, be my cheerleader, or be my butt-kicker when I'm being stupid, prideful or wrong.

She is the first person I call when coming to Savannah and the only person I stay with.

She has literally given me the shirt off her back, (her favorite leather coat), and puts up with
our horrible speaking schedule.

She always sees to it that I get to do all my "favorite" things
and see all my favorite people.

She likes me and I adore her and thank God for her daily.


Give her a shout out......You know you want to!

My Friend Floozie!

Floozie and I are friends....actually sisters in every way that counts. I met Floozie over 5 years ago and whenever I am in Savannah (on our yearly visit) I am with her. Floozie and I love to talk and our men like to be in the same room watching TV and grunting occasionally.

Floozie came into my life at a critical time when it seemed like the whole world was on its way out. They had just moved from Illinois and were new to the area. We had been in Savannah for 17 years and were in the process of leaving.

Our friendship develop quickly and then we moved. Despite the distance we have always remained close and one fateful date I persuaded her to start her own blog. Now she's everyone's sweetheart, blogging neighbor, and virtual friend. Since then she has launched out in the blogsphere and met many wonderful people and even opened up her home to Blogger Babes. What Floozie doesn't know about hospitality hasn't
been written yet. She is a wonderful hostess, tour guide, cook, and seems to be able to channel "Martha Stewart" at any given moment.


Her worse fault is that she seems incapable of saying "No" to me or Melli and consequently gets involved in wild hair brained adventures. She has put up with a lot just to be my friend....horrible schedules, lunch dates , sneaking off to catch an afternoon movie, shopping, going to the Tea Room and taking me to get all my guilty "Savannah Treats". She's even shared her grand children with me or put up my family members who happened to "pop" in to see their parents and need a place to spend the night.


She knows me really well, keeps my secrets , hopes, disappointments and dreams. She's can tell my mood by my punctuation and is the first one to email me or call me demanding to know what's going on. We can pray together, cry together and I know she is my greatest cheerleader or butt-kicker. She is nicer by nature than I am by grace. She is incredibly generous with her time, skills and will even give you the shirt off her back if you happen to compliment her on her wardrobe.

She knows no stranger and has a huge loving heart. She wasn't born Southern but she certainly has adapted well. If I could change one thing about her, I would give her the ability to see how wonderful she really is so she could erase some of the self- effacing tapes she plays in her head.

Everyone should have such a good friend. I am indeed blessed.
