An old friend, a new friend

Meeting someone you've known for 13 years for the first time is an odd thing. Will we like one another? Are we each the person the other thought she was? After all, people are often different online than they are in person; they're not lying about who they are, but they're better able to express themselves or connect than they are in real life (or vice versa).

My old online friend Nita is exactly who I thought she was--lovely, warm, altogether delightful. We spent the evening eating good barbecue, listening to Lou prattle about her latest story (she's writing, you see), playing with Henry the Floppy Dog, and talking. My only regret is that she didn't get to meet Josie, one of the babies that brought us together. (Jo's in Eugene with her cousins.)

Yay! I met Nita! We're no longer imaginary friends! Laughing out loud

a great time! I'm so glad it all worked out. Too bad she couldn't meet Josie...maybe next time? Smiling
