I was very self involved this weekend with my time at home, I didn’t tell you about the birthday of a very special friend, RJS!

I’ve told you about RJS before, she and I have known each other since 2009 and it was love at first site! We hit it off immediately, kindred spirits I would have to say. I met her on the same projects as ST and JCT, actually the same day as JCT.

She’s a strong, vibrant, impressive, smart, loving, silly, adventurous spirit. She sees the good in everyone, at least she tries! And that is one of the things I love about her.

She’s a fighter! A survivor, who fought a great fight and won! And through it all, never lost her lust for life or sense of humor, and like all fighters, she rocked the bald look when it was time!

She’s an artist, a glass bead maker and can craft amazing creations with glass, the way she bends glass rods and makes beautiful beads. She has worked in many different mediums, she was learning steel work recently, I hope I remembered that correctly!

She is one of those friends who become family instantly and when we talk, it’s like no time has passed. We can talk on the phone or sit together and talk for hours and if someone doesn’t stop us, we go on and on and on!

And what a honey to her love, KS and her fur babies, Max and Maddie. I’ve told you about them, I’m Auntie J to the kiddies and stand in cat sitter sometimes.

I’m so excited that I can tell you about my friend and the day to celebrate her, January 26th. Happy Happy Birthday RJS, I love you!
