Old Friends - Best Friends


Paula & Mary

I thought about showing we two old broads in our youthful days. Those 1960's days when we first met in Washington, D.C. Young, fresh-faced, bee-hived hairdos and all!!! But why spend a lot of time in the past, wishing for what we were, when the here and now is so very special.

Jenny & Paula

We enjoyed every moment for three full days. We visited SuzAnna's Antiques and were welcomed with the best coffee cake ever - a sweet gift from Susie and Jenny. We dug in to foods from around the world , French, Italian, Thai. We shopped a little, looked at real estate, hugged family who stopped by, played with cameras, stayed up late by the crackling fire.................and talked and talked nonstop.

Much was bittersweet. How could it not be when a special man is gone from our foursome of so many years. Paula is a strong, wonderful woman. She was touched that so many of you left such kind words following her great loss. Much of our chatter revolved around travel. Paula has traveled the world, and plans to continue.......something her late husband Sterling would want. I'll let you in on a little secret, actually it's a huge secret, about a trip being planned. I'm so excited and will share details soon.

Best Friends


My best friend arrives tomorrow.
Leaving rainy, windy California.
Bringing sadness.
Her dear husband gone just a short time.
A few showers and some cloudy days here.
Inclement weather can't stop the warmth between dearest friends.
I will offer comfort.
Tears will be shed.
Cancer will be cursed.
Memories of wonderful times shared over forty plus years.
And then..............brighter moments as we plan ahead.
The future offers hope.
We will celebrate a special man in a very special place.


~ Best friends forever ~
