This is my very dear friend, LaDawn Ludlow.  I get to visit her often and we sit and tell stories.  She lost her husband several years ago and she is carrying on faithfully and so cheerfully.  I’ve never met such a jolly loving lady.  She laughs freely and with all her heart.  This morning I took her some hot chicken soup for her birthday on this very very snowy day.  I love LaDawn.
