Mary Aileen is the person on the planet I have been a friend with the longest. We met after I moved to Atlanta which was a long time ago and found ourselves living in the same area when I went to Yale for graduate school then when I moved to Long Island. <\/p>\n
To say Mary Aileen knows books is to say that Neil deGrass Tyson knows something about the stars and planets. Mary Aileen is my go to for things to read and has been for years. We raided her brothers\u2019 bookshelves for things to read after we were done with our library books and our books that we would lend each other. She uses all this knowledge as a librarian along with other skills she has. She is still a voracious reader.<\/p>\n
She is an excellent seamstress and makes a lot of her blouses so they are of a fit and style that she likes. She had an excellent eye for color. She makes amazing quilts. Caroline loves her baby quilt along with the pillows Mary Aileen has made for her for special occasions. <\/p>\n
Where I think she excels is at stuffed animals. Her critters are lovely and there is a lot of thought that goes into the title of the piece. Her latest piece is a cow dressed as the 4th Doctor entitles Dr. Moo. Whimsical is the adjective I would attach to her work which can be found on her website entitles The Mouse Hole<\/a>. She is very clever.<\/p>\n Happy Birthday Mary Aileen and thank you for the years of friendship and support.<\/p>\n I am grateful that I still have Mary Aileen in my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mary Aileen is the person on the planet I have been a friend with the longest.
