Childhood Friends


A friend recently shared this photo with me. Can you tell which one is me? This friend and I have known each other since we were probably 4 years old, maybe even younger. She was my very first friend and we have remained in contact all of these years. I have a lot of great memories growing up of this lady. We sewed together, danced together, chased boys together (figuratively and literally!). We spent many a summer night playing hide-n-seek up and down the block. We created our own Halloween costumes together one year, sewing them from a pattern we picked out. I still have a scrap of that fabric!


I love being reminded of this friendship and our childhood, especially after some recent occurrences with another childhood friend.

Cute picture and I think you are the one on the right; am I right? That is so awesome that you have a friendship that lasted that long! I don't think I have one and that makes me kinda sad!

Oh, I remember that girl on the right...of course you were a bit older when we met. Treasure your long time friendship for it is a treasure indeed!

No flippin way! I stared and stared at that pic trying to figure out who the other one was. I can not believe that! I am so going to have to upload a photo I have of me Pam and Keli posing in our bathing suits and sunglasses by our pool.

I wish I had more pictures of our youth. I know my mom took some, but Meri (one of mom's daughter's) decided a few years back to take everything she could with the purpose of making sure I didn't get anything, including my childhood pictures. I have a few, but not a whole lot.

Hey Leigh,
Time to blow the dust off this thing and update your blog. You are now officially at the bottom of my blog list, so, CHOP-CHOP!
