Friday Five: Companions on the Way

From the RevGals:
Dante had Virgil as a guide. Before he had younger siblings, my oldest child had an imaginary friend named Patrick. Betsy had Tacy. Laura Ingalls depended on her brindle bulldog, Jack. All of them were companions on the way.

As we take the beginning steps of our journey through Lent, who would we take as a companion? Name five people, real or imaginary, you might like to have with you as guide or guardian or simply good friend.

let's see, in no particular order:
~Jason (not just in Lent, either!)

~Jane Austen (cuz who wouldn't want to talk like her?)

~Isaiah (he knows how to write...and what to say to get people on the straight-and-narrow...and how to eloquently point out when they're not! Plus, what a cool prophet, I mean, really...too bad I'd have to explain Lent to him.)

~someone who can really cook....Rachael Ray, maybe? Or Giada diwhatever who makes yummy italian desserts?

~mom (no explanation needed)
