HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARISON

Happy 25th Birthday.

Thankfully we get better with age and these pictures are old.

I am blessed to have such amazing friends. I could not get dressed

without you.

While confessing my love for Garison I should also give her credit for naming my blog. My mom tells this story over and over about her maiden name was LONG. She thought it was soooooo funny that my new name will be SHORT. The story always ends with "that is the long and short of it". Garison remembered this story because my mom loves to tell it and suggested it as a name for a blog. So between Deedra and Garison you got "The Long and Short of It".
