Another "friend" post

This is my friend, Kathi.

She's going to kill me for posting this picture because she's wearing her "crappy" clothes.  But we were just going to the dunes and no place after that (I promised) so . . .  I had to post this picture, though, because this is the essence of Kathi.  That smile says it all.
I met Kathi back in the early 70s when Petey was transferred to the Coast Guard station in St.Petersburg, FL.  She was dating a "Coastie" during that time and we met at a softball game.  If you remember the post about my friend, Susie, it was at the same game.  We became instant friends (just like, Susie) and have remained so all these years.
Kathi was a teacher and morphed into a kick-ass elementary school principal.  She was fair but took no prisoners.
She was a Harley rider for many years and is a complete sucker for animals.  She's always had rescued dogs and now that she's retired volunteers for Pet Pal animal shelter in St.Pete.
We've had more laughs than could possibly be counted over the years.  We enjoyed every moment of her brief visit here in Destin and can't wait until she comes to MI this summer.  Then we'll show her what dunes are all about - not those puny sand hills she's standing in front of, eh?

Notice how nicely I'm dressed?  It was totally unintentional.
