Thirty-four years ago today the four of us met together for the first time. The occasion was Cool's son's (he is pictured above with my daughter) third birthday party. Cool, j and Elletu were already BVGs but didn't know it. I was the newbie, the one invited by Cool to join in with her two neighbors and their children for a fun birthday celebration at a local park. I had a feeling that day that something special would come from that gathering, and the rest, as they say, is history. When I started calling my new friends from Bethel Valley Lane the Bethel Valley Girls I do not remember, but we all remember clearly that first day, June 2, 1981, when God began knitting together a Sisterhood like no other.
Today we say, "Thank You, God!"
