on meeting internet friends.



























my thoughts on meeting internet friends: excellent.



i say that because today i met celine.
we've been
online friends we think for a year or so now,
so thought it was due time we actually met.




we ate fancy grilled cheeses
i had rye and she wholewheat
we munched leafy spinach salad with shredded carrots.
and i dipped my sandwich in tasty house dressing.



we chattered away like birds in the park.
and it was really fun.



we brought each other small gifts.
i took cookies i had made
ones shaped like rain drops & ice cream cones.
plus a cute bottle of water
made from clouds & fresh fruit.



she brought me worn ocean glass from pei, (love)
a mini terrarium complete with a tiny white mushroom,
and a tomato plant she grew from seed.
and it was really great.



and it got me to thinking,
as i am sure you have thought
and likely even said,
that is that
the blog world,
the flickr community,
and the internet in general
is a pretty amazing place.




anyway, have to run
but, happy weekend trails friends.
oh, and photos of my little treats from celine tomorrow.
until then,
xox, n.

The cookies are amazing. I can just feel the texture of the shortbread and the sweet taste of the icing.
It sounds like it was a lovely day to meet a new friend.
