Okay, so when we were little girls, my sister Dee Ann created a "club" (of sorts) that only the 3 of us Stults girls belonged to. It was called the Pal-Pal-Association (affectionately known as "The PPA"). To this day, we call each other "Pal" and have sort of a strange way of talking to each other. Well, a few years ago Dee Ann declared February 22 as "PPA Day"...so we've been sending each other gifts ever since.
Specifically for Dee Ann this year, I decided to retell a memory in a story form...when we were little girls, playing with our other siblings and some distant relatives who lived just across the street from us. While we were playing, I remembered that Dee Ann and I had placed Tang (you know, the yummy orange flavored drink) in the freezer the day before...and that it would now be a frozen delight. So I came up with some lame excuse for why Dee Ann and I had to go home. We grabbed our cups of Tang and sat out the big wooden swing in the front lawn enjoying our tasty treat. We could still see our playdates playing...not sure if they could see us. We felt pretty sneaky:) Ha ha. Oh boy. So, here are some of the pictures I drew for the little booklet I made her. Dee Ann is actually in the slums of India right now, treating those with medical ailments. She won't return to the States until March 26...so PPA Day will come a little later this year:)
Dee Ann and I really had these outfits. My Grandma made them for us. Mine was bright pink with frogs all over it...Dee Ann's just had some teal/green lines and zigzags. No, Dee Ann is not flipping you off in the picture...that's just me not being able to make hands very well.
Here's when we came up with our brilliant plan.
Off to the freezer!
Ahh, the sweet taste of victory!
ha what a cute, creative idea Darla. I'm sure she will LOVE that and enjoy remembering those sweet, worry-free times as young kids. I continue to be amazed at your creativity and thoughtfulness.
