What a wonderful story to share with us all ! The prom dress does make a beautiful lampshade! Sally had a four legged with her even way back then and it is a lovely picture of Sally in her youth. Living and loving life on the coast of Maine. Quote | Post #697839 (1)

You were a pretty teenager. I love how you kept it all those years, and what a transformation! The dress is now beautiful, and a reflection of you, and the life you lived. A small town has no secrets except itself Quote | Post #698088 (4)

Smudge (the cocker spaniel) lived to be 19. Thanks so much for enjoying this and thanks to Sharon for putting some of my memories down. Living sustainably comes with learning to see the world in a new way. Quote | Post #698479 (5)

Sally what a bitter sweet story! But I can see you gaining strength from the experience. And I have to agree 100% w/ Sidney!!!! “The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.” C.S. Lewis Quote | Post #698504 (6)

How bittersweet and how beautiful the shade is. How hard it must be for her family to miss her. It brought tears to my eyes. I miss Sally Sun too. A small town has no secrets except itself Quote | Post #771505 (9)

Thanks Shar! They are setting up for a new machine at work. The multi-stage concrete base pour is now completed. Thought of Sally every day as I watched the progress. “The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.” C.S. Lewis Quote | Post #778799 (12)
