Old Friends Are The Best!


Fran, Ann, and Sue


This past weekend, I was blessed by a wonderful visit with two very dear friends. Fran Buck arrived Friday evening and spent the night, and Sue McGowen came over early Saturday morning. Fran lives near Harrison, but Sue is now living in Tacoma, Washington. Many years ago when they were both living in Fayetteville, we spent many hours together, doing various crafts and enjoying time with our children together. Fran is the one who taught us to make baskets. I still have a few of these baskets, but I doubt that I could remember how to make one. We visited a few hours at my house Saturday morning, then went downtown to the Farmer's Market, where we met up with Sue's son, David Embree and his wife, Lauren. After an hour or so downtown, we headed out to visit the farm property that Sue owns in Greenland. What began as a rather cold morning turned into a beautiful sunny day, and we had a very special time together!
