NoLL
People are SO nice. Yesterday I complained about being lonely while Libby is gone. Guess, what. I'm overwhelmed by company today.
Last year in Portland, we met Jake and Shelia. They are the parents of Christian, Jenny's friend. Well Jake was in Vermont visiting Christian and the two of them decided to drive to Vergennes today to pay me a visit. They knew where to find me because of this blog. I really appreciated that and the three of us had a good time just chatting and swapping stories.
Bigger surprise, as the three of us sat on the wall next to the creek along came Dave and Carol from the yacht New Horizon. We first met them winter at Treasure Cay, Abacos, Bahamas. It turns out that since then they have become regular blog readers. They knew I was here, and complaining of being lonely, and since they happened to be driving through Vermont, they too stopped by to pay a visit. Now there were 5 of us sitting on the wall and swapping stories. It was great.
I never thought before about unintended but welcome side effects of writing this blog and the lack of privacy I have by blogging all my stories. It pays off in unexpected ways such as today. I suppose that is what the younger generations already know in the way they share their lives while eschewing privacy on Facebook and Twitter.
Meanwhile, out in deep space, the Cassini space probe took this remarkable photograph. What do you suppose it was that crashed through one of Saturn's rings?
