I was delighted to be a part of Shirley Ann and Don Hales' 70th (Did I get that right? 70 YEARS!) Anniversary Celebration.
Shirley Ann and I have been friends since we met over 15 years ago. (I was the 3rd "Shirley" when I moved into the neighborhood!) Then it was just Shirley Ann and me, but now she's the only one left, since I moved to a place that was previously Shirley-less.
The thing about Shirley Ann and me is that we are both creative people. We are happiest when we have our tools. For her, it's wood and a carving knife. (She carves the most beautiful dolls and other figures.) For me, it's paper and something to write with.
We're both young at heart gals, not letting some arbitrary age number define what we "can" and "can't" do, or even what we want to do!
I love Shirley Ann, with her fancy name while I'm just plain Shirley, and am so glad she's my friend.
Who is one of your friends? What do you like about him/her?
