Just a few images.
My long-time neighbor and good, good friend, Jeri. She keeps chickens and rides a Harley. And watches over me.
Hard core Harley girl.
I tell her horses are better. She laughs.
Some terrible shots of some beautiful women, a poor portrait of LDS women, business as usual. They are cheerfully helping a neighbor who lives about three blocks away from them clean her rental house as she leaves it. I helped, but only a little (being useless). I like to think I am at least entertaining, but these girls? Powerhouses of kindness. You don’t see Hannah here – fourteen and showed up to help. Angel in training.
This is my concept of community—what these women stand for. You see a need; you just run in there and pitch in, whether it’s taking care of a child or bringing in food, or stopping to drop a good word or embrace, or cleaning a dang house.
I want to be like them when I grow up.
