Friends sans Makeup
My friend, Sandi Mierop called me last night and we talked for 2 hours, compliments of Vonage (love sticking it to The Man!) and she LOVED being mentioned in the blog (the friend in Alaska), so I thought I would give her an extra thrill, add to her 5 minutes of fame and mention her again and then take away the thrill and put her picture WITHOUT MAKEUP in here, too. Of course, I don’t have makeup on, either, but I hardly wear the stuff anyway.
Sandi and I met back in 1986 or 1987 when they came to get their first Abyssinian, Nike. We became friends and since then they’ve owned 6 of my cats, Sandi has been my boss, both in court reporting and when she bought a vintage house to be renovated and I was part of the slave-labor force. We’ve spent countless hours on the phone and even went on vacation to Kauai last year (damn, that was fun) together and we all got along like peas and carrots. Maybe not after this picture!!
Sandi told me that for revenge, Alaska was going to cut itself in half so that Texas would only be the THIRD largest state. LOL! Good one!

I know one thing about Susan — if you are good to her Abys that will earn you an instant plus!
If you are someone that can make her laugh and appreciate her unique, special qualities than you have discovered the potential for a wonderful friendship! Ever since I met Susan Baker through Adopt- An- Aby in 2004, I instantly recognized that she was different, learning that her actions matched her words. Susan has quietly gone about making all a difference for countless needy animals. I highly respect her endeavors and her work contnues to inspire me, too.
To Sandi & Susan: May you enjoy a lifelong friendship of love, laughter, and devotion!!
