Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.  ~Laura Ingalls Wilder

Travelling into the not so distant past this time (1990)… Catherine (on the right, in white tights) mentioned this photo on Facebook the other day…

She and my daughter Arlie have been best friends since practically the first day of kindergarten.

19 Christmas’s later, they are STILL best friends!
