Extended Family and Friends

More A to Z pages.  The Letter E is for my Extended Family.
I wonder why this part of my family is considered the extended part.  Weren't they the FIRST part?  These are the lovely people I spent the first 20 years of my life with.  Chronologically then, shouldn't my IMMEDIATE family really then be considered the EXTENSION of my first family?  Or am I over thinking this...


The Letter F represents my dear friends.  The scan doesn't show the title well.  But it spells out "Friends" with a variety of letter tiles, followed by a metal tag with the word "Forever". 
Do you know how difficult it was for me to round up pictures of my friends?  Harder than it should have been.  Lesson learned.  Take my camera with me more often.  I remember when I was young how important pictures of my friends were to me, especially as I would usually move away and never see them again.  They became treasured memories.

This page is a tribute to all of my friends throughout the years, not just those I see regularly and do silly things with.  By the way, if you couldn't tell, Fred and Wilma Flintstone should look a little familiar...

I'm enjoying seeing all of your pages and fun ideas!! This has given me inspiration as I was searching for a fun idea to do a book for Katie for graduation.

And I agree ~ put your camera in your purse and definitely get it out more often :-) I've started doing that and I felt a little silly at first taking pictures of everything, but now I don't think twice.

It was fun seeing you with your family and friends, both are so good to have. Since we traveled so much with the Navy, and were so far from family, our friends became our family.
