Old, gold friends

"Make new friends
But keep the old
One is silver
The other is gold"
Bette is one of our golden friends since around 1964 when we were in school at Morehead. That year, Bette was pregnant and, since there was no hospital in town, moved back to Cincinnati to stay with her parents until Heidi was born. After she left, Lance moved out of their little house and into the dorm; they turned their place over to us to live in right after we got married January 30, 1965. They had already paid the rent for the month plus they left the food in the refrigerator, sheets on the bed, towels in the bathroom...everything for us to use. We don't see enough of each other now even though she only lives in Cincinnati (still!). We've vowed to change that.

Ever since we've been friends, people have mistaken us for sisters. Even my great nephew, after carefully looking both of us over on Derby Day, asked if we were sisters. That is her in the yellow jacket sitting on the couch talking to Jerry, possibly arguing politics since they fall on different sides of the political fence. :-)
