I have been very lucky in my life to have the ability to make friends easily. This still has come in handy in my travels and in my work life. Some nuts are harder to crack than others but that is half of the fun. In my travels I have meet several amazing women who inspire me every day. I graduated as part of the largest female geology class my school had ever had. Those girls are out there rock it and doing great things. In the oil field I have meet some extraordinary ladies from far way places. In a field of men we usually become instant friends. Mainly because I make them like me but usually because we are of the same mind. In my travels around the world I have meet fabulous ladies from many place living and loving life to the fullest. So this little post to the nothingness of the internet is a shout out to the great friends I have! Near and far! To the ones who pick me up at the airport. To the ones who drive for an hour just to have a meal with me. The one who’s who let me play with their kids. The one who helps me cook Thanksgiving dinner for 30 hungry roughnecks. The ones who teach me new things like whisky walks. The ones who are willing to do any crazy stupid idea we come up with. The ones who are up for anything. THANKS! Life would be boring without you!
But one lady in particular gets an honorable mention. This lady. Camille. Who lets me come over when every I can. Who lets me have my mail sent to her house. Who lets me come over and play with her super cute kid. Who feeds me any time I show up. With friends like this there is hope for the world!
We meet long ago and far away when we were rigging up on a Shell project set to go to the artic. When you are crammed into a meeting room with 100 guys you find a way to say hi to the only other ponytail in the room. After that you see each other on the boat and at breakfast and pretty soon you run into each other everywhere and a whole lot less work gets done. Then when we got to the artic she even took arty to work one day! A few years later she took me to work in North Dakota. As always “The joy of the world when you have summed it all up is found in the making and keeping of friends”!
This is a short shift because of rig move and there for a short post. Time to get back to adventuring! The critters can’t wait!
