The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been.

It's Good To Be Loved

I've known my friend Jan for 21 years. She holds the number one place for the longest running friendship I have ever shared. We have a few things in common, like our October birthdays. This Fall she will turn 70 years old and she looks just as good now as she did when I met her 21 years ago. She has fantastic patience for needlepoint and sewing. She is a great cook and baker... she makes delicious breads, pies and pasta. Aside from my mom, Jan is the most amazing woman I have ever known.

From the goodness of her heart, she made a quilt for me. When she asked me about colors, I suggested "earth tones", and let her pick the colors. She is a bit of a perfectionist, so I knew that anything she created would be perfect. I picked up my quilt today and when we opened it up I had tears in my eyes.

Jan doesn't like to have her picture taken, but I got away with a few photos today. I am so grateful for this quilt, words cannot express how much.

Thank you Jan, I love you.
