What a lovely afternoon I had. MaryinPA was making her way back up North to Pennsylvania, when she stopped here in Southeast Florida to have lunch with Nora (bluedaze*) and me. (Nora and I live around the corner from each other) Although I haven't had as many opportunities lately to meet with website members, it is always a pleasure to talk face to face with cyber friends. We spent 3 hours talking and sharing stories as if we had known each other forever. Being an Alzheimer Spouse is a glue that bonds us together, transcending distance and time.
We did take a few pictures, which I will post on FB after I edit and transfer them from my cell phone to the computer.
Mary, it was great having lunch with you on Monday. Now I've met 3 of Joan's group, Dee a few years ago here in Sarasota, then Jeanette when I was in Holland and she came into Rotterdam and we sat and drank hot chocolate and talked for two hours. Yes, Joan, our Alzheimers experience certainly does create a comfortable bond. We can talk about anything.
Marsh, sorry to have missed you. It was really great to talk with PrisR*, bluedaze* and Joan. I should have arrived home today. I left the Orlando area on Friday expecting a 3 day window of good weather. That all evaporated in the night last night with winter storm Sparta. I stopped just below Richmond VA last night and only got to just above Richmond this am when the sleet started. After I saw 6 cars and a truck with boat on the trailer off the road, I decided "enough". The intersection where I got off had emergency vehicles before and after the intersection. I spotted a hotel right behind the Mc Donalds so that's where I have spent the day. Hope I have better luck tomorrow.
