It was an ordinary day. The mailman had just made a stop at the end of the driveway and my wife walked to the mailbox to gather the envelopes he had left. One piece of mail was a business-sized envelope addressed to me. As soon as I saw the printing on the front of the envelope I knew exactly whom had sent me the envelope. I quickly opened the envelope and staring back at me was the neatest hand-drawn card by one of my wife's best friends, Marg. She had made me a greeting card to cheer me up after having returned from our local hospital after having back surgery to insert a Spinal Cord Stimulator. Marg and Carol met 51 years ago in a Lamaze class at St. Joseph Hospital in Lancaster, PA. The two became quick friends and have been friends ever since. Wasn't long after they met that they both gave birth to sons. We quickly learned that Marg had a talent for drawing and illustrating when we began to receive cards for birthdays, holidays and just about any occasion that would require a greeting card. Marg is extremely talented and Carol and I both love the cards she designs and illustrates. Some of her beautiful cards are done in watercolor while others are done with colored pencils. Doesn't matter what medium she chooses to make her cards...they are always beautiful and well made. The card I just opened was done in pen and ink and color was added with watercolor...or so it appears.
Marg's latest greeting card! |
