Can't live without 'em



What would we do without friends? Today I can certainly not imagine.  I know that Cara would not be where she is without a couple of good friends that were well connected and 'hooked her up' as the saying goes.  I know I have been probably going on and on about this...but I am just so thankful for the friends that helped Cara secure her job....and for our friend Karen.

In our family there really is not such a thing as Cara's friend or Alyssa's friend or Mom's friend etc.  Once you are a friend to one of us...you are kind of stuck with the rest of us...that's just how it is.  Our friend Karen used to be a co-worker of mine...and then Cara began babysitting for her and became a friend as well.  When she heard that Cara was looking to relocate in Yonkers, she was the one that connected us to Cara's new home.  Today she and her kids took Cara on her maiden subway voyage.  I just can't thank her enough for all she has done for Cara...and therefore...for the whole family!!

She is an example of what we all need to be....encouraging and helping people make connections!!  Hopefully someday I can repay her in kind...but for now a batch of cookies will have to do.
