Another Friend

This is a candid shot of Dedie sitting where she often sits...in front of a sewing machine. She makes Christmas dresses for her 7 and counting grand daughters and has made wedding dresses for her daughters. She makes quilts and Halloween costumes, tablecloths and napkins. A few years ago she made super hero capes for all her grandchildren. Red for the boys and pink for the girls. So of course I had to have them for my grandchildren too. She came to town and drew the emblem and gave me a pattern and even helped with the cutting. What a great friend! Dedie and I have been friends since we were about 19 years old. That's at least an era or two ago! Our children played together when they were young and one of hers lives near us so we get to still be close. I am Auntie Barb. Though 600 miles separate us we still manage to see each other and spend time together at least twice a year and sometimes 6-7 depending on what's happening. We enjoy a lot of the same things and always have a good time when we get together. You know what I think? I think the oldest friends are THE best :)
