Happy Birthday to a Special Gal!

The first time I met Candy, we had decided to meet in San Marcos, Texas for lunch. I work for a credit union that has a branch there... we had already planned to meet at Wimberley Market Days in a couple of weeks, but I thought it might be nice to meet, face to face, before our junkin trip. This was Candy the first time I saw her. She had brought along her friend Terry, for moral support... Candy is very shy when meeting new people.

but not too shy to wear a funky hat so I'd be able to find her... no kidding!

We had lunch at a little diner in downtown San Marcos; and talked for an hour like old friends... I instantly felt a kinship to both of these sweet ladies... Note Candy's sunglasses on head and reading glasses on eyes... the little pin on her shirt is what she wears to hold her reading glasses close at hand...
After visiting Wimberley in March (I think), our next adventure was to Geronimo... where I introduced Candy to my favorite little shop, Glory B's... and my favorite little shop keeper, Miss Beverly. Terry came along too... by this time, they were both my new friends. We also visited Blue Hills Antique Mall, where I now have a booth. We do love to shop those junk, thrift and antique shops! and here we are... two old gals in their 50's... new friends...
Today, Ricky and I had a dozen errands to run... I wore my pretty purple and white scarf... the one that Candy gave me... a gift of friendship...

The best gift of friendship is Candy herself. You only have to read her blog to experience what a wonderful person she is. She is exactly who she seems to be. Delightful!

Happy Birthday Dear Friend... and wishing you many, many more... from down here in French Lique...
