We Meet Again!

Talk about friends . . . about three and a half years ago I responded in an email to a gal, who called herself  Menno Jeweler at the time. It was just a small way of recognizing her for some comments she had left on my blog. This story may well have a familiar sound to it, since I wrote about it last summer when we met in person for the first time. At that time I began my written thoughts with ...

There are episodes in life . . . . appearing as chance happenings. . . that, on that first encounter can never visually foreshadow the chain of events that will eventually change a certain course of your life. That is how I feel tonight . . . as I've reflected on what just happened!

 

It was Kathy who made that first casual, teasing invitation for some of us MGCC to come and visit Virginia. The interesting thing was that at the same time there was some comunication going on with our Publisher about a trip. I can't remember the details any more, but I think they were born out of certain dreams, when we found out that Kathy, who ended up being a great connection, lives in the same city as our Publisher . . . and the rest is history. A book tour was planned.

 

While in Harrisonburg, Kathy invited us to her home to meet her beautiful family.

We had a great evening with them over dinner and a relaxed dessert time on their patio.
Our online friendship was solidified in person.
 In the meantime we have, on both sides, been counting down the time
to their first visit to the Canadian West Coast,
 and today is the day we meet again!
 I can hardly wait to introduce them to my beautiful family!
