We are buddies now, Shannon and I! The opportunity came because she and her hubby were on their way to a major football game in Glendale, AZ, which is 11/2 hours or so from where I live, and quite a few more hours from where THEY live, yet they chose to come through my town! I’m SO glad they did because they are a fun couple! My hubby and I enjoyed showing them around; the Square, the Lake (which is becoming more of a giant puddle), our little house… Shannon brought us a dozen Boston Creme cupcakes that she baked at home. OH.MY.DELICIOUSNESS. Can you say “Happy Tastebuds” 5 times fast? How ’bout “Gain 5 Pounds” 5 times fast? Aaaa, it was worth it! We now have fun things to talk about that come from new memories made. I’m so grateful for yesterday and that God blessed me and my hubby with new friends.

Shann is such a great person! I haven’t met James, but her son is fun too! And the cupcakes too!!! Glad you got to meet her!
How fun!!
What a blessing! I experienced something similar about five years ago when I read a blogger from Montana had parents in a very nearby PA. Nursing Home! When they came to visit her family, I met her there and spent hours visiting - discovering we have so much in common!! So glad you had this privilege of yet another blogger friend! So special!
@threejoys - It’s so fun to meet a fellow blogger and discover you have things in common! I need a very long visit to PA!
@ANVRSADDAY - Was it a Hawaiian?
@Hutch5 - I can assure you, you WOULD be so in love with these cupcakes, which are now (gulp) GONE!
@slmret - Did you ears ring? We talked about you and that we love you! You’d get along famously with James..he was all crouched down in the mud by the pier, taking pictures of a snake eating a fish!
@aSeriesofFortunateEvents - Yes, it was, and I’d do it again ASAP!
@Richgem - No!! A navy wife and her husband.
@Richgem - hahaha! Yes — but there were lots of people talking about each other this weekend at my class reunion, so I didn’t know who was talking about whom! If I’d known, I’d have ridden along — but I was at the reunion all weekend, despite carmageddon. It was HOT when I got home — 102 as I drove into the driveway!
how fun! Those cupcakes sound so amazing. I might actually have to look up a recipe for those and make them…of course it will have to be on a day when I haven’t eaten for a week before
How fun for you to have this experience and meet a new friend! I am so happy for you! (I am still trying to figure out how to start my own Blog!)
@NewsyNancy - It’s been great, meeting these xanga friends! So far, I’ve now met 6. It’s a special group, for sure! If I knew anyone in your general area, I’d hook you up!
