Gifting

Pin It!

I made this so long ago….and we haven’t seen each other so I could gift it….but today she’s coming, and I need to photograph before it’s gone. I hope she likes it.

I love my friend, Jen.  She is a poet and writer of lists. 

We used to spend hours on the phone on Saturdays, writing lists on legal pads to sort out our childhood, preteen, teen, and later, adult issues.  Even now, when I think about solving anything I think, "Wait, let me get the legal pad."
