So, one minute I am sitting across from Catherine in Mrs. Shepherd’s kindergarten class studying her very organized school box, then a few minutes later, I am standing with her at the Botanical Gardens, photographing her five very lovely children. Indeed, a full circle moment. My sweet, lifelong friend, the one who has known me the longest, was in town this past weekend visiting family. She’s the friend that helped me get my skates on at Skate World in 1977 and the one who stood next to me at my wedding in 2003. She’s the one who had the nerve to tell me to stop smacking my gum and the one who never tired of a good game of “slug bug.” There are many great memories and a new ones were made on Saturday. I am grateful for her constant friendship that is always easy. I was sad that her husband couldn’t make it, but hopefully, he will enjoy the collection of photographs of his five little treasures. Many thanks to Sydney (“Nanna”), who graciously helped make it all happen. Here are some highlights of our time together.
