The purse


This picture was taken on the short bus from the rental car to the airport.  Please note, the time stamp is off. There are four girls in this picture: Jilly-Bean and Absolutely Abby, and myself (we roomed together in college) and Leslie, who moved in after I left. I never met her until this past weekend when we were almost inseparable. After spending three days together I am reminded how very much I miss my college friends but not college.  I don't miss college at all.  

The reason I am showing you this picture is because it is the only one that shows the purse, by which I mean Leslie's purse.  Leslie packed everything she needed (except for toothpaste) in this purse.  She had two complete and modest outfits, a set of pajamas, a hairbrush, toothbrush, makeup and jewelry in there. You can see that her purse is smaller than mine.  I am in awe of this girl.  I want to be more like her.  And in some small way I'm glad she was there to share my room and my car on one of the best weekends of my life.
