One of the most important truths I took away from Anne of Green Gables was the notion of "kindred spirits" or people you meet here on earth that you must have known before you came to earth and are just destined to become bosom buddies. Susanne is that kind of friend. When they moved next to us in Monticello as we were both just starting out, it felt like we had always known each other. We moved away but now that we are back, it sometimes feels like we never left. I walk with the same gals I walked with as a young mom 30 years ago. Cassie, Susanne, Cyndra as well as a few new faces (Tanya and Julie) meet at the same corner early every morning and hike up to the reservoir and back. Balm for the soul. These friends are the same great people they were all those years ago only more refined and more wonderful than ever.
Susanne had a Grandma school and I offered to take them to Blanding for a few fun festivities. I couldn't resist taking pictures. My favorite shot was the one of Great-grandmother Ruth Nielson and little Ruthie.
