A Friend

Have you ever had a friend who was creative and talented and smart and beautiful? And when the planets were aligned in a particular fashion, that friend began to blossom in ways that even she never expected?

This is my friend Joan. We met over 40 years ago in a town called Garden Grove.

(I think we were about 17 in this photo.)

I told you about her here . Please visit this post on her September Tea blog to read about her latest accomplishment...her design work has just been published! In a book! Hip Hip Hooray!
