I always thought having a birthday on Valentine's Day was very special. So here's to my long time friend and lovely lady, Mignon. We became friends in 2nd grade. That was in 1947, which makes our friendship one that has lasted for almost 70 years! When we moved back to the U.S. and settled in our area of the Texas Gulf Coast, we once again lived near enough to see each other more often. Ours is the kind of friendship that bridges gaps in time, so even though months may pass when we sit down to lunch together, we pick up conversation easily almost where we left off!
Mignon was my first friend for after school play times and overnights where we "roasted" crackers over a flashlight and put doll dresses on her kitty. Her dog was a chow named Taffy. We got matching baby dolls and named them matching names. I went on campfire cookouts to a place called Fry's Gap with her family. Her older sister Charlotte and her parents were gracious and kind to me.
Through the years, Mignon has remained a beautiful, charming woman and faithful friend. She is a woman of faith and has been a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. She is one of the most creative and talented people I know. Happy Birthday, Dear Friend!
How wonderful that your friendship has lasted over the years. :)
