I don't very often (or ever!) post photos of me or about me...but this week warrants a photo, I think. Here is me with my twin sister, Ann, and two dear friends, Karen Budge from England, and Gretchen Haisman from Minnesota. Karen and her husband Steve have been in Chicago/Iowa for a week and a half and we've had a blast catching up. She'd never met my children so it was wonderful for her to be here in the Midwest seeing us and our families. I can't even explain how thankful I am that she was able to visit. And it was fantastic to be together, the four of us, again!
