Just was on Give Me A Minute I'll think of something--saw the traffic watching Kristin's blog and discovered my pen-pal from Nebraska wandered in--My 2 best friends and I were in the same place, even though it was in this wierd wireless world--at the same time--
Been pen pals since the early 70's--been through the awkard teen years, moving away from home, finally meeting each other and sharing the heart ache and joy of relationships and sharing the trials and tribulations of motherhood. It's been a terrific journey most of it well documented in letters, photographs, now e-mails and blogging and facebook.
The 3 of us have evolved in the 30+ years we have known each other, the last time we were all together was on my wedding day almost 21 years ago--
What made us stick together--we are each unique and devoted to those we love. Passionate about life and finding the joy in it. We all shared tears and joys. I love wandering in to chat, to write, to laugh and to cry.
Nebraska is coming East this summer, maybe a trip north is in the summer plans for me--making a circle and re-connecting--
Now its getting late and I'm getting cold--need to sleep--need to be at the HS by 8 with oldest--made the HS baseball team--and youngest joined a swim club and swims 4 days a week--let the juggling begin--DH's vacation has ended and the picture hunt has not--they are still surfacing!
Till the next time I wander in--

You know, I wondered about the Nebraska reader. They always came from your blog and I *thought it might be Karen (did I get that right? or is my memory playing tricks on me?)
I think this is a great way to keep in touch, although I still look forward to in person meetings and gab fests.
I wish I could meet up with you after Greek Easter, but we're headed down to DC for a few days before dropping George off on a flight to Dallas.
We'll be driving home (me and the kids) from DC, but probably not going through the NYC area again. :-(
And hold the phone!
21 years!? Holy cow, has it been that long?
Wow. Just wow. Where did the time go? I'm still waiting to decide what I want to be when I grow up!
