Shannon!



        Happy Birthday Shannon!
I will never forget the day I found out a family of 5 kids was moving in one house down from us in Florida. I watched for them to settle in and the first chance I saw the Mom outside I ran out to meet her. Not only did I meet her, I walked around the block with her. Something about her I knew I liked! The kids rode bikes, swam, went to school together and every so often I was Lucky enough to get Shannon to come over. We would talk as the kids played on my blanket out front, or in my living roon. But I didn't really get to know Shannon unil the night I saw her out on a walk one evening alone... It was a Night that changed my life. Shannon and I grew close that night and have been buddies ever since.  I have learned many lessons from Shannon that I would have never learned had she not moved in... Heavenly Father Knew what he was doing placing us both on Green Pine Circle! And I count My Blessing Often!
