That is, they are such good friends that they are like family.

We always have beer, soda, bottled water and wine available. In the summer the freezer has some kind of frozen treat. There is always a bowl of fruit on the counter and we can always find something to throw on the grill for and impromptu cookout.

My closest friends are the farthest ones away.

Outtahere said:Yes, those are the same friends that called Monday to make sure someone had set up the generator and plugged in our sump pump so our cellar wouldn't flood, the same ones that dh plowed thier driveway when they were at work so they wouldn't have to do it when they got home.
