This is a photo from one of Bonny's bridal showers - the one Margaret gave her. And it shows Shirley Heslop, Polly Bourgeous, and Ida Smith sitting behind a couch - not playing the "make a bride dress out of toilet paper game" and just visiting instead. I distinctly remember asking them why they were sitting it out when Meriba Cornia was digging right in!
I think Ida said "We're old ladies - we need to sit." And Polly just smiled and said they had enough people doing it. And Shirley just smiled.
I love these women. I miss Ida. And I miss the years I spent walking in the mornings with Shirley and Polly.
I am so grateful for all the good women friends I have had over the years. And I still have great women friends and look forward to more years of rewarding friendships.
