Meeting friends
June 27, 2008
Grace came to visit. I know: two bloggy meet-ups in one week! Lucky me!
I met Grace and her kids at the aquarium on Wednesday. It was like meeting an old friend. I knew her when I saw her and it was just so easy. After the aquarium, we got ice cream and then sat in the kids' section at Barnes and Noble while sweet James played with the trains and Elisabeth and my girls looked at books. Grace and I just talked - it was so nice and really wonderful. Then yesterday, they all came to our house and we just hung out and chatted more. It was a lovely afternoon and I was so sad to see them go.
I wasn't the only sad one. We will just have to do it again sometime. Thanks for visiting, Grace!
It is so strange to see the photos of people that you expect on another blog. It is lovely that you seemed like long term friends, isn't it great how the internet brings people together.

Isn't is crazy how easy these friendships are in person? Pretty amazing if you ask me. Now, if we can just get you to KC.

I felt the same way. I told T that I felt like we were old friends, too. I still can't believe it about the handwriting, either.
Thanks again for having us over yesterday. It was so lovely. xoxox

What a nice visit! Simple. Not overblown. The best kind of visit to get to know a bloggy friend.

Were you at the aquarium in Convington? Was that why you were driving past Erlanger??
Someday we'll meet too. Hopefully before my Mom's condo sells (they recently put it on the market but don't expect it to sell anytime soon) so I have both an excuse (I mean besides you, of course ;) ) to come to that part of the world and a cheap place to stay while I'm there.
