The Power of Friendship

I went to a crab feed in Halfway, Oregon over the weekend.  What an event it was!  It's an annual fundraising event sponsored by the Halfway, Oregon Lyons club.  It's all-you-can each fresh crab from the Oregon coast and for a mere $35 a ticket, it's an all-you-can event feasting frenzy!  It's fun but if you ever go, prepare yourself for a wild time.  The crab itself was delicious but the company was what made the event so worth the effort.  I didn't take any pictures, nor did I encourage my comrades to take pictures, for fear they'd all end up on Facebook a few moments later.  At some point over the weekend, in the midst of flying crab legs and overflowing pitchers of Miller Lite sprinkled with spoonfuls of homemade potato salad and cole slaw, I realized what incredible friends I've been blessed with and I thank my lucky stars for all of them.  What would life be like without friends?  Shoulders to cry on, shared moments of laughter interspersed with trickles of gossip concerning life's injustices to a genuine warm smile and a helping hand.  Life is about connections and what better way to seal this connection than through a weekend spent in scenic Halfway, Oregon with some really great people?
