Carolyn. Yep. My daughter Margaret and our family were good friend with Carrie. She babysat my 3 daughters one summer. Lots of memories there. Margaret took Carrie's name this year at confirmation, and lately I've been seeing full sheets of paper, and napkins with the name Margaret Mary Carolyn ALL over the sheet, every which way. Margaret asked me if she could change her last name to Carolyn (it's now Kelly), and I smiled. It's great to see "Carolyn" as a doodle on a page.... Lots of Carolyn name writing going on in this house.
