Sorry for the interuption. The Valentine's Special Edition was interupted by SNOW, dog sitting a neurotic dog, hiding Molly from the dog, oh and did I say Snow? Four inches of snow in my yard. In Mississippi. This is crazy!
Well, back to celebrating people. Today I would like to celebrate my friend Barbara. I met her six or so years ago, but I mainly just knew her daughter. But when we became friends, boy did we connect! We both love Jane Austen, love reading, love staying at home and avoiding people. Yes, we are both introverts. But we are married to extroverts, so we got together often. We also have a fondness for movies, popcorn, slice and bake cookies and chocolate.
Barbara is an accomplished actress and a wonderful drama teacher. She puts on amazing performances from a very low budget and apparently a magic hat. She loves her students and is always encouraging them.
The past year (or two) of her life has been very trying. Barbara and Craig have come throught it with abounding grace and mercy. Of course there was anger, frustration and tears, but the love and concern for their loved one was bigger than all the emotions.
Barbara is a great mother. She is the world's funnest grandmother. And a wonderful friend. So even though I moved away, we still keep in touch and pray for each other daily. I don't know what I would do without her friendship. I love you Barbara.
