Meeting a Cereal Killer

Like I mentioned last night I've made many great friends by meeting them on the internet in some form of quilting group. One of the ladies that I met on the internet couldn't make our first meeting with the rest of the group. She was extremely busy at the time helping to take care of her sister who had cancer. Anyway she was in town for a few days and emailed me to see if I would like to meet her for dinner. I saw nothing wrong with this but Jen thought this was just a crazy idea. What, go to a restaurant and meet up with a total stranger. Heck Kay was no stranger she was a quilting friend. So in order to be able to leave the house Jen made me take her cell phone with me. This was back when I didn't have one. Anyway I was also to call her to let her know that I was alright. I had told Kay that Jen was afraid I was going to be meeting a serial killer and we had a good laugh at it. When I was talking to Jen Kay took the phone from me and proceeded to tell Jen that she had never in her life killed a box of cereal and she wasn't about to start now. We've been laughing about this for years. Fast forward to Jen and Mike's wedding and Kay had said she was coming. She wouldn't miss it for the world and she'd be there with bells on. I didn't think of the bells on until I was walking Jen down the aisle and we got to the pew where Kay was sitting and I looked over and she had sewn tiny little jingle bells to the bottom of the top she had on. As we went by I heard this tiny little jingle. See now that's what makes a great friend.
Just wanted to share that with all of you.

Yes, Kay will be forever in my heart the "Cereal Killer." Somewhere along the line I seem to remember getting a mini box of cereal with a plastic knife through the center of it from her!! LOL
