Thank you for sharing that memory.  The three of us have so many memories together.  One of us is gone and it hits very close to home.

Peace
Karen

on Labor Day, 1959 I met Sharon. We quickly discovered that we had identical bedroom slippers but hers were a half size smaller than mine. I discovered that when I put one of her shoes on and it didn't fit correctly. I commented on it so we started showing each other clothes to see if we had anything else that matched. We didn't. Following that we had a lifetime of adventures that lasted up until a little over two years ago.

Karen, Sharon and I were sometimes called the three musketeers although there was never a musket.
