Happiness Is . . .

Mrs. Goodneedle and I have known each other 

for many years now but we'd never 

met face to face until last week.

(when asked "how we met"

we both responded "through blogging"

and quickly agreed that our initial connection point

was Nancy at Blogging Near Philadelphia)

In Debbie's words, our brief time together felt

"more like a reunion instead of a first meeting."

Our husbands felt the same way.

There were many smiles and much laughter

as we shared a meal in the Folk School's dining hall

where conversation flowed as stories were shared.

All too soon is was time to

head off in our opposite directions,

but we have plans to meet up again.

In the meantime,

memories from our brief time together

will bring quiet smiles of joy to our faces.
