Laura and Pat in 2007.
Story by H. Hill:
Laura suddenly remembered that we hadn't partaken in the traditional pastime of the Sisters of the White Dot. Pat, a good sport, was game to give it a whirl, too. So we walked a block or so to a seedy convenience store and bought a bag of plain M&Ms. Let the games begin!
It's a tradition dating back to the time-wasting homework-stalling days of college, the Tossing of the M&M. We got pretty good at catching them in our mouths. Yes, the hopping and leaping does help. This is a very athletic pastime. However, these days, we're a little rusty, and I can't throw worth a darn. But we all caught some. Pat got one on her very last attempt! Congratulations, Pat, you are now a Sister of the White Dot!
I had such a fantastic time. Pat said she couldn't remember the last time she laughed so much, and I feel that way too.
This is one of my closet friends Pat, we walk our dogs together every morning. She is a wonderful, gentle, kind and funny woman, who is much loved by her family and friends.
