This is an exciting time for her, but a sad time for me. Columbia is another hour on down the road, making her about 2 1/2 hours away. I know that we'll keep in touch through Facebook and texts and phone calls, but it just won't be the same as getting to see her in person and giving her happies and hugs.
I've been working on a little project for her bedroom and today, Becky and I drove down to Fort Mill to deliver a chair and my happy. I've been working on a special Carolina Cowgirl collage for a few weeks and it was time to surprise her with it.
I found a little life preserver (ten bucks) for the beach plus three vintage beach postcards (three bucks) that I'll display on a metal stand (four bucks) that's designed to hold photos. Becky found lot of stuff she liked, but resisted the temptation to buy anything. After some lunch, it came time to say goodbye. Did I cry? Yep! Will I miss her terribly? Yep! I love ya Jessie.....have a great year at USC.....Cowgirls RULE! |
