Harriett Goodin Small, friend for life

I don't ever remember when Harriett was not my best friend --long before we used initials to BFF.   We would go to show every Saturday --rain or shine --and then go to Saliba's' for a milk shake or coke or we would find somone with wheels and go to Johnie's Drive In.   She fought every battle for me and she was scared of no one!  If someone went after me, I would have Harriett sic 'em.  And she would.  And still will!

Last night I called her and we picked up where we left off the last time.  She is the only person in the world, besides my children, who I know who will always be there for me.  I don't have to wonder if she will sell me out;  it will never happen!   The difference is that she still is in sic' em mode if provoked.  I tell her things that have happened in my recent life and her retort is,  "I don't trust him/her.   He has hurt you before!  You can't go thru that again! "  And her sic'em antenna comes on strong.   And I laugh and remember!

Best friends are hard to come by!  I wouldn't take anything for Harriett Goodin.   Okay, so she thought that Rex Allen, cowboy star, was more handsome than Charles Starrett "The Durango Kid"!  He wasn't but she will never admit that....even now!     Oh yeah, did I say she was unshakeable in her loyalty!  If I were you, I wouldn't test her!  You will draw blood or a stub.   She is still lethally dangerous if provoked!
