So much to talk about, so little time

Did you ever anticipate on meeting someone only to find out you were not prepared for them?

Well this happened to me yesterday.  I have long awaited this moment when I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Sheila Anderson.  She took time out of busy schedule to meet an old timer (me) and my bride of near 50 years in Springfield, Massachusetts. 

The setting was delightful, the food was great however, the company was even better.  She was everything I thought she would be and even better.  It was like meeting a friend you haven’t seen in a long time. Wonder time, we talked about or adventures, our pups (family members) and the like. 

So soon we said our goodbyes until next time

Sounds like it was a great time, although short.  Sometimes we just have to enjoy and take advantage of the time we do have with someone.  Glad you got to have this meeting!

How wonderful, James. So glad you had such a wonderful time... but why no picture of this momentous occasion? Sheila's always taking pictures.

James,

Your experience with Sheila Anderson is like mine has been from coast to coast.  In some instances we have met several times, and it continues to feel exactly as you described, "old friends getting together."  A

Always great to meet a fellow Active Rainer.  Like you I have always thoroughly enjoyed my talks and meet ups with anyone I have met from Active Rain.
