Happy day

For her birthday, Hannah got money from me and her dad because that is what she asked for. Robert took them to Fayetteville shopping. I hope they have a great day.

If I only knew...

I think of the people I work with as my work friends. I do not really have much contact with anyone at work outside of the work place, but I still consider them my friends.

One young woman started in our department about 6 months ago. She has had a really hard time learning her job.  She is very hesitant and unsure even after all this time. 

I did not care much for her at first. Then, another friend that worked closely with her disclosed some things I did not know.

When this girl was just 16 she got pregnant. The guy disappeared before the baby was born. After she was18, she got a job where I work. She lived in an apartment very close to work and did not have a car.  One icy winter day, while carrying the baby  girl to the babysitters, she fell and cracked her head open. Since hearing this story, I am less judgemental about her abilities.

If I only knew...

She is married to a nice man now, has another child, good life, and a friend in me.

Sister Betty is going to make her a toboggan for Christmas. I will give it to my friend and get all the credit.

Sisters...

Sister Helen, I just think you should know that Sister Betty is NOT saving those quilts you made for her imaginary great grandchildren.  She is wasting them trying to stay warm.
