A great happening

[For more years than I care to remember, I have "met" chihuahua people on the internet. They would meet and have great times and I could never take part for one reason or another.

 

Now, being on Strokenet, I envy the Arizona group who seems to be having a great time with each other. And.......what a great looking group they are as well as a great advertisement for people who "others" would think of as having horns or looking like space creatures or something (The attitude of people not knowing anything about those who have had strokes).

 

BUT, my longing has come to an end! On Tuesday, in St. Augustine, Florida where Ann and Bill (Annnie27409) are vacationing, we got together and met. What a really lovely couple they are, as shows from the posts Ann has put on the boards and in her blogs. Everything you may be thinking is true; her sweet personality shines through. And what a lovely person Bill is, they are perfectly suited to one another.

 

Like everything though, they went their way, and I mine. They have since had to contend with rain after two or 3 beautiful days but I believe that it is also forecast for the remainder of their stay. Rain in Florida though is often just showers here and there and not all day affairs. Unfortunately, I went to a job on my way back and I ended up washing down 47 quarts of soy milk which had become frozen solid and were still in a semi frozen state. What a mess! I had to stand in a shower-like area and wash the stuff down a drain. My shoes were soaked - so I guess, we both got wet but from different sources.

 

Who knows, maybe, their next vacation will be in your area and you will also have the good fortune of meeting them.[/size][/font]

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate snow!! I've shoveled at least 20 inches of it today in two batches. The snow is on top of two inches of ice and we haven't left the house since Thursday, won't get out until Sunday. We came very close to having a serious car accident on Thursday and I fell hard tonight shoveling snow. Thankfully, I fell on my butt but it still hurts.

So glad you got to meet Bill and Annie. I talked to Angie "spokangie" on the phone. We hope to meet up for coffee soon.

 

We have had more rain and snow here than in years.. we have broken records for the area. The other day on one of the mountain passes was a 50 car pile up..

 

Since my fall in November .. I have been.... EXTREMELY cautious in the ice and snow.

Jean, I try to be a very nice person and so I will put this in a nicer tone. NO, THANK YOU MISS JEAN, BUT I WOULD PREFER IT IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO SEND ME ANY SNOW. I AM SORRY ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS BUT YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO LIVE WHERE YOU ARE AND THEREFORE YOUR WEATHER IS YOURS - JUST AS I HAVE CHOSEN TO LIVE IN HURRICANE LAND - AND TORNADOES LATELY AND THIS IS THE LIGHTNING CAPITAL. ALTHOUGH, I DON'T CARE FOR THESE THINGS, I DO NOT CARE TO EVEN EXCHANGE THEM WITH YOU. NO CHANCE. LOL! :big_grin:

 

Bonnie, I'm sorry for the problems the weather has caused you and your fellow Washingtonians - 50 car pile-ups give me the shivers, especially now. Rain and darkness are bad enough, but who needs to have an accident in the very cold weather?

I hope you get to meet with Angie. :)

 

Asha, oh, I hope you come this way. There is nothing like being close to palm trees - they aren't as pleniful as the hardwood varieties in other states. And even weeds are pretty here. You, of course can reach me and we could arrange to meet. That would be great! - just not near "The Mouse" as a man I know refers to when he worked at Disney World. I hate Orlando. I got lost everytime I have gone there, and Interstate 4 is horrible for me; t oo many people rushing to get there. :uhm:

Phyllis,

 

I was looking for your post about the grocery store and I found this one. Thank you so much for the lovely compliment - I didn't see this earlier or I would have responded.

 

This past Easter week-end I was sort of pining for the Florida weather we enjoyed. It was cold here - mid-40's we call cold now, isn't that a riot??

 

I look forward to getting together again next year!!

 

Best wishes to you,
