Shirl's Quite a Girl

When I need a laugh, I call Shirl. When I need an emotional hug, I call Shirl. When I have a funny joke, I call Shirl. She has a generous laugh. Infectous. Well more of a snorty laugh. Still very satisfying. I call Shirl a lot. Who wouldn't? She listens and doesn't judge. She cuts to the chaff without grinding too hard. She creates beautiful bears from fur coats. She cooks delicious meals from scratch and without a recipe. She arranges flowers creatively combining them with unpredictable textures and color. She is the real deal. Authentic. Trustworthy. Good to the core. She isn't bothered by aging.
She has friends from high school. She has friends everywhere. If you were stranded on an island you'd want her to be your companion.
Lucky George. And lucky me that she is my sister. In a few weeks she is going to take her first cruise - she loves nautical everything. That boat won't know what hit it.
