A Spider Story from Margaret
The picture of the creek reminds me of times that Lori and I spent hiking in the woods beyond our subdivision in
I first met Lori the summer when we were nine. We would pack a lunch and go walking on fire trails in pursuit of adventure. One day we discovered a winding creek (only 3 or 4 feet wide) and we followed it, stopping occasionally to look for minnows and frogs. Lori leaned her hand up against a tree to look down at the creek and I looked up to see a HUGE spider about a foot above Lori’s hand. I pointed and sputtered “L-l-look!” Lori looked and screamed. We both ran as fast as we could, until we couldn’t get our breath from laughing.
We would still laugh about that spider when we got together as adults. We laughed a lot together. Lori’s laughter and love of nature (and strong feelings about spiders) are what I will remember about her.
