Three years later: Dorothy just celebrated her 103rd birthday today with some of her family in her home where she has lived for as long as I have known her….which is now like forever. We met when I was 11 or 12 yrs old…..depending whether you count church or when I became one of her students in Jr High School. Her family is planning a larger birthday celebration for this coming Sunday, January 17. Happy Birthday to Dorothy!
Invitation to celebrate Dorothy’s 100th birthday!
Dorothy Cross Smith Brown is celebrating her 100th birthday today.
I spoke with her a couple of days before Christmas as I chose not to attend because we have family illness here in the Bay Area of California. So many of my school friends and family will be there. Dorothy said, ” I understand. Come in the spring and spend a weekend with me.” I will.
I love and admire Dorothy!

My friend Mary called the other day saying “you know I have this really good friend who made me a special pillow and can you believe I left it at the motel.

Here are some of my new fabric choices……stay tuned for how these pillow cases turn out! Hope to have them complete next weekend….although the next few days are really busy! Happy New Year all!
