Friends

Friends I came into this place, not knowing what to expect. I found a lot of nice people in this special part of the world. I have made a lot of friends. I am sure - from heaven they were sent. My new friends I have never seen. Only pictures of some I have seen. I don't need to see their faces, I have already seen their hearts. They are true and understanding. If I need them, they are there. It is hard to find this kind of friends - you don't find them everywhere. So friends - this is a special tribute to each and everyone of you. If I ever leave this place, I will take you in my heart. I might make new friends, but I will never forget the old, because the new ones will be silver, but the old ones will always be gold...

Mother made these thin cake layers which were good just by themselves..She iced the cake with fudge, yes, fudge..She used the fudge recipe on the Cocoa can or box..She would not cook it quite to the candy stage and frost those thin layers maybe five or six or seven of them..Sara
