Until this morning they were complete strangers to me. I met both at Woodstar Café, which I personally believe is the best coffee shop in all of Northampton, and the friendliest!
I started talking to Barbara when I could tell that she wasn’t sure where to pick up her order. I then went into great detail about how wonderful the food is especially my favorite, which is the Nantucket sandwich. She smiled and told me she is from that area. Well, from there I asked if she’d like to share a table for a few minutes. We chatted so long that she ran out of time on her meter. I hope she didn’t get a ticket!
It was such a wonderful moment in time. It felt like meeting up with an old friend that you haven’t seen for a long while and sharing memories. We talked about lots of things including religion and how life is not always fair and never what you expect it to be. We talked about her two boys. Yes, she showed me their pictures. She’s a proud mama and she should be. They are so handsome! I spoke about Mary and our dogs. It was a fun time.
As we were winding up our conversation and exchanging e-mail addresses, I tried to write down my blog address, but couldn’t remember if it was blog or blogspot.com. This is where lovely Stephanie comes into the story. She was sitting next to us with her computer, (yes Woodstar has WiFi). I asked if she would be willing to try several versions of what I thought my blog address was and she figured it out. Go Stephanie!
I have not written anything in my blog since February, but thanks to meeting these two, my writer’s block is over!
