After the match, we sit on deck chairs (with drinks in hand) and watch the sunset. Tomorrow we will slide our pucks at each other in a new game, but in the end will sit and watch this day pass.:peaceful: " [/COLOR][FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=purple]Isn't this what being friends is all about?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [COLOR=#2e8b57][/COLOR] [FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=#800080]Don't forget what's important in life.
