Rahsaan is gonna swing by ....come out and make it fun...this is our kick off at 3rd and lindsley gonna be pretty wild. Bring your horn and be ready to rip.
Sweet words are easy to say, sweet things are easy 2 buy, But sweet people are difficult to find. Life ends when U stop dreaming, Hope ends when U stop believing, Love ends when U stop caring, Friendship ends when U stop sharing. So share this with whomever U consider a friend. To love without condition, To talk without intention, To give without reason, And to care without expectation is the heart of a true friend...Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.
Hoping all the best for you in this very brand New Year! hugs Linda
