Fannie & Fairy

Fannie and Fairy were twins, separated at birth.

Fairy lived a fairy tale life in a big city in California.  

She took ballet lessons and learned how to play the piano.  

Fairy took years of art lessons, learning how to paint and draw and how to stretch her creative wings, from the time she was 6 years old.

Fannie lived a modest life far down a country road outside a small town in Texas.

Little did each one know that they had a sister.  Let alone a twin sister!

But one day in August of 2011, they found out the truth....as Fannie came to town.

When Fannie was a little girl, she longed to live in the big city.

She dreamed of the bright lights and big tall buildings.  

She desperately wanted someone to play with, who lived right around the corner from a house in town where she lived with her parents.

Someone to ride bicycles with and to go shopping with at the nearby mall. 

She longed to take art lessons...lots and lots of art lessons.

And, certainly would have loved to take ballet and piano lessons. 

Fairy longed to live in the country, where she could breath pure country air.  

Where she could take a simple cane pole and run down to the bottom to fish for perch in a creek that ran through the woods.

She longed to live on a ranch where she could ride horses and raise lambs to show at the county fair.  She wanted to climb trees to her heart's desire.

Each one longed to live the other ones life.

Imagine that...if you will.

Somehow I can relate.

I longed to be a girl like Fairy.

Fannie's not dreaming any more =)
