Description from EPBCornell: I met Channing when she was 3 & I was 5. Our brothers were going into 1st grade together the following fall. She's been like a sister since. I'm not telling exactly where her place is, but the back view has descending fields (with some trees) down to a little cold spring pond (the blue green quartz), continuing to the trees lining a river. In the foreground, granite block wall lined with flowers. I couldn't get the hazy purple hills in the distance behind the evergreen tree line on the other side of the river. One of my favorite views ever. And for Channing-- had to use gemstones and sterling-- she is more precious than anything on the planet.

laylasbeads says:Channing’s View? Please tell me where it is,’cuz I want to live there! You really bring the feel of that place alive. Everything together says “precious”–like Channing is to you perhaps?

EPBCornell says:Thanks, laylasbeads! I updated the description for some background on the pick, but you can’t live there until Channing’s family leaves– and that’s never going to happen!

laylasbeads says:Liz–thanks for the extra background. You painted it perfectly. How wonderful to have such a special life-long bond with a friend. Kris
