Grade School Days!

On Sunday my best friend from my childhood called as she was driving through Fergus Falls. She had been at a quilt retreat in northern, MN and was headed back to Northfield, MN. There were so many years when all we did was exchange Christmas Cards but as our children are growing we are finding a little more time to reconnect. Nancy was my friend who would walk two blocks west, as I walked two blocks north each school day. We met every morning at "the corner" and walked to school together the rest of the way. We build the best snowforts together, played endless games of scrabble, camped at Meadow Lake in the summer, liked the same boy in fourth grade, and convinced our parents to let us take our first road trip together to Mackinaw Island after graduation. How fun to spend a few hours together on a Sunday afternoon! So,
