“A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses.” ~ Chinese proverb
I met my friend Ann Howington through the National Digital Newspaper Program. She came to Kentucky from Texas to learn about digitizing newspapers. For some reason, she thought I knew what I was talking about. We had many things in common, least of all our day jobs. Many years have passed since we first met, and look how sweet she is to me? I opened my mailbox and nearly wept at her kindness. All day I’ve baked cookies and homemade bread for Christmas gifts. My regret is that I can’t deliver some to Ann in person, give her a big hug, and say “thank you for being my friend.” I don’t know what I’ve ever done to deserve friends like her, but I sure hope I keep doing it.
