And then there's Shari, my friend and dedicated pen pal of 17 years. That picture on the left was taken before they moved and in the bottom left picture we could still show our knees when we wore our cool and certainly fashionable overall shorts. And now here we are on the right. I'm holding Ruthann's youngest, Briar, and Shari's holding Cossette, her second. Shari now has seven granchildren three and under, and there are two more on the way. And that's from just her three daughters. Her son, Ryan, just graduated high school and is on his way to college in California. In fact, that's why they were here. They visited family in east Texas, stopped by my house for a breather and then part of them continued on their way to drop Ryan off for college.
Shari's not perfect but she knows it and that's the best part of having her for a freind. But what a fun pleasure it's been to watch a godly mom raise godly children who are now raising godly children of their own. Yep, that's how it's done.
