Almost every time I wear it I get compliments (and I wear it often, so it's pretty crazy that I still get comments). But it's just so pretty!
And here's the story behind it (which many of you have heard, because I tell everyone). A few years ago there was a guy in my ward who liked me and he gave me a really pretty rainbow scarf. It was lovely; I often joked that it was the best part of that relationship. Anyway, when I was living in Arkansas I lost it somewhere (me? Lose things? I know, shocking). I was so sad; I really did love this scarf. This was during the time that Suzan was staying with me for a few months, so she knew how sad I was. Several months later, for my birthday, I received a fat package from Suzan. And inside was this gorgeous scarf. She had had her great-aunt knit it for me. It's unique and bright and long and beautiful and I LOVE it!
That in and of itself is a story I love. But recently the scarf debuted in a lovely little tablet, entitled Elisabeth and the pet scarf. Suzan, this is just for you! :)
Once upon a time, a little girl named Elisabeth went to visit her grandparents and many aunts and uncles for Christmas. Elisabeth had wanted a pet for a long time and while she was in the the wild land of Wyoming, she found....a pet scarf.
And my scarf has never looked better!!

RUTH, I LOVE YOU and I love how you transform some random incident into such a toughtful and observing story.
By the way: It's been great to see that scarf again. I even think this one suits you much better than the one that the guy gave to you and that you lost at the Jones Center (it was way too short I think).
You are so fun and we miss you here in Kalamazoo! It's great to see you doing so well!!! We are planning a trip to Logan in July...
Love ya
Kari, Bret and little Hayden
