Carrie made the harrowing trip on Friday to get to my house in enough time to get some sleep and then turn around and drive with us down to Virginia Beach for Cammy's retirement party on Saturday. Camm's longtime friend Mary Ann Peterson held the party for Camm, and her house was amazing. A looooooong time ago, Mary Ann taught me to weave baskets, and I mean the real deal. We soak reeds, dyed them, wove them while they were wet, clamped them in place until they dried in that shape, and then carved handles for them. I think everyone got a "Jessica Original" basket for about a year of Christmases and birthdays, and then life got really busy and I just stopped making them. But this story isn't about me, it's about Camm.
