It's A Small World

I find blogging a lot of fun for many reasons.  First of all, it is like writing a personal journal, only you add pictures!

Second, you meet the nicest people and I find most of their lives very interesting.  I have some "bloggy" friends who I share many similar interests.  Some friends are totally opposites and I love that too!

But sometimes, there is a connection that is somewhat like a"Seven links to Kevin Bacon" principle.

This happen to me last week.

I got a comment on my blog from a sweet lady Teresa from Louisiana.  She told me her husband was in Glorieta the same time I was there.   I wondered to myself why he was there and she wasn't. She didn't say anything about him being with another church.

We drove to our sites in Santa Fe everyday on a huge bus.  Our bus driver's name was Jack and I talk to him each day as I got on the bus and found out he was Shreveport, Louisiana.  So after I received Teresa's comment, I put two and two together (I'm smart like that...LOL) and decided Jack must belong
to Teresa.

I couldn't wait to see him the next day and sure enough he had talked to Teresa and confirmed we were bloggy friends.  In fact, Teresa had followed my daughter Kelly's blog for many months and that's the way she found me!

So here is me and Mr. Jack on our way home from Santa Fe last Friday!

I have written about our newest pet we have added to our family in the past few months.

My hubby kids me all the time because this lab LOVES me and is like my shadow.

If I am with him he will not leave my side.

But I do have proof that he missed Hubs too!

I think he thinks pretty highly of his Daddy too!!

Yesterday I got a nice surprise!

I have this wonderful friend. She is from Boston originally, raised Jewish, now Christian and is 

just one the most delightful ladies I know!   She is so beautiful, elegant and I love her accent!

My favorite thing is to be in the choir loft on Sunday mornings and look out into the congregation and see the expression on her face as she sings!  It's a "sermon of joy" to watch her!

She and I usually exchange little birthday and Christmas gifts.  Just small things.

I was in New Mexico this year so my birthday gift was delivered yesterday!

But my friend outdid herself this year!

Trust me, these taste EVEN BETTER than they look!   What an awesome gift!!
