long story short

A long time ago I asked a friend
to make me some bathroom curtains.

She had never made curtains
for anyone else before
so it was hard work persuading her.

But she did. And I paid her.
And then she made some more.

And eventually she had a company
which supported her family
and then she employed people
who supported their families.

I'm kind of proud of that.
And I still love the curtains.

  7. What an amazing thing. I'd be proud if I were you and it would make me feel warm and fuzzy each time I used the curtains. Well done you and well done her.
