I have a very dear new friend that I just met this year. Her name is Lottye. She is older than my mother but we have found that we have a lot in common. The thing that brought us together was our friend Mary.
Mary is the mother of John, my first love that I mentioned in my blog January 14,2008. Mary and Dottie have been friends since childhood. They went to a one room school in Franklin, Kentucky, a small town where they were also born.
After graduation Lottye went to Lexington, Kentucky to school, just like I did. I went to Fugazzi but she is a UK graduate.
We both lost two close family members last year. Her only son passed away in July and two weeks later her sister passed away. They all lived together in a beautiful house on McGregor and they were all the family that she has in Ft Myers.
We both grew up in Baptist churches in Kentucky and like southern cooking. We have started having lunch together every Saturday and it has been a pleasure. This past week we ended up at Dilliard's cosmetic counter and the lady in the black smock sold Lottye a little more make up than she was planning to buy. That's okay, it was the anniversary of her wedding so she needed to buy herself something.
