Why We Need Friends

      Two things happened recently that made me realize--for the millionth time this month--how important friends are.

      I was reading a post by Linda O'Connell. She mentioned thinking her father worked for the WCC. Immediately, it brought to mind a summer I worked for the YCC, and shazam! I had a story to tell that had been buried for several decades.

      Writers need each other. We can't write in a vacuum. We need our friends' eyes, we need our friends' feedback, we need our friends' shoulders...

     And then a few weeks ago, our dumb-as-dirt-but-sweet-as-sugar Golden Retriever had made a mess of himself with his tongue. Some hotspots meant Foley would have to wear the "cone of shame," and he did...until Lisa Ricard Claro suggested a Boo Boo Loon. It keeps the dog from getting to stitches/hotspots but does not obstruct their view or hinder their hearing. (It also serves as a pillow when they sleep.) My husband, who spares no expense when it comes to Prince Foley, ordered a Boo Boo Loon for him; our dog is much happier now.

     "Thank god you came along, Lisa," barked Foley.

 

     What was something a friend of yours did for you recently?
