1. Syd and I had an home economics class together in high school. Once when we were making cookies in class she accidentally drooled in the batter! For real! I think we still ate them.
2. Syd is the one that got me started on facebook. Amy did the grunt work of setting it up for me!
3. Every time Syd comes to visit she brings my favorite treat- Dark chocolate!
4. Syd and I also had choir together in high school. I won't tell you how we would skip choir when we had a sub and go to Syd's house and make mexican hot chocolate. Oh wait, I just did. Anyway, last time she came to Rockford for my daughter Kimberly's reception I convinced Syd to perform a musical number with my daughter Amy and I at church. After we sang my friend's little boy turned to his mother and said "Mommy, that pretty song!"
5. Syd has made my beautiful master bedroom draperies and helped Amy sew up my kitchen curtains that I started but hadn't finished!!!
6. She always beats me at rummikub.
7. Syd and Amy started dejunking my house on one visit and I had them stop because they were so good at it; if you know what I mean!
8. One of our most remarkable memories together was helping Amy take her twins on their first airplane flight from Salt Lake City to Chicago. You might think that that doesn't sound so hard, but It was!!! : ]
9. Our road trip to Nauvoo Illinois was super fun even though we got lost and visited an extra State (Iowa) that Syd had never been to. We crossed the Mississippi river twice in one day!
10. Last but not least was Syd's visit to Rockford the same time Kimberly and Skyler started dating. Syd told Kim from the start that if she wanted to be happy for the rest of her life- marry Skyler; and she did!
