The Road to the House of a Friend is Never Long by Weezilou

The Road to the House of a Friend is Never Long


You've probably seen the the little snow-packed Carin on her profile picture... That's Tamara whom I've been looking forward to meeting since I saw she lived up the road from me here in Nova Scotia. Http://365project.org/Tamara/365/2010-08-16 We've been in touch over the summer, and finally today we crossed paths here in Lunenburg when she came for a visit. *What a delight she is!* "365" has been such a bonding place with a commonality of interest, it's a perfect springboard to strike up conversation and the rest just falls into place! The afternoon fell away as we chatted, got to know one another and (of course!) took pictures. I was delighted that Dill dropped in for a late afternoon snack as we share a love for our cats, and he's certainly a part of our summer household! Ken and I couldn't have had a nicer time! I'll leave her to enjoy the Nova Scotia winter in our absence, but am already looking forward to getting together again next summer...if not sooner! Until next time, Tam!

August 17th, 2010  
How nice that you two got to meet up and that Dill stopped by to meet Tamara too! I didn't realize just what a big boy he is! I'm glad you guys had a good time.
August 17th, 2010  
So great to meet new friends!!! Dill looks huge in your arms! :). So glad to see he's recovering, too.
August 17th, 2010  
So nice!
August 17th, 2010  
What FUN! I would love to meet a fellow 365-er at some point! (And I'll bet Carin was THRILLED to meet those handsome boys in your life! LOL!)
August 17th, 2010  
Oops! I didn't read that very well, did I? My apologies to Tamara!

I've been a little bit "down" about leaving, but I really am blessed to have the amount of time I get (and need to remember that)! I was really hoping to get into the water today, but it didn't happen. (I've been known to get on the plane with salty skin - LOL!)
August 17th, 2010  
so glad that 365 has brought you close to such wonderful people! that top shot is too cute!
August 17th, 2010  
I'm jealous!
August 17th, 2010  
How wonderful, Louise!!! 365 really brings people together!! I am sure it was a delighful day, I can see it in your smiles!! And how cute that even Dill came to say 'hi!" ;-))) Lovely collage!
August 17th, 2010  
How nice to see another friendship blossom through this site! And Dill's face is absolutely priceless!
August 17th, 2010  
This is great...your love of photography and your love of cats well documented! I really enjoy the chance to see you with Dill.
August 17th, 2010  
that is so great! Glad you are getting sooo much from the project.
August 17th, 2010  
How fabulous to meet up with a 365 friend like that - I'd love to be able to do that - there are so many great people on this site that it would be fun to meet in person - maybe a world tour one day!!! You both look great - so does Dill of course!
August 17th, 2010  
I guess I'm not the only one who's impressed by Dill's size - what a big fellow!!!Wow! And what a great get together, 365 really is a great project to get to know so many people and share your interests with them. I had not expected it would be such a nice and heartwarming experience before I joined. I thought it was just taking photos every day and uploading them to your own calendar..I was very pleasantly surprised to read the comments and now I always look forward to them whenever I've put a new picture on. I love seeing everyone elses pictures too, and commenting on them. What a nice way to use the computer and 'meet' people !!!
August 17th, 2010  
What lovely portraits, it's great to meet people through the project! Glad Dill is on the mend too. Sorry to see you leave beautiful Nova Scotia soon, not only that it, heralds the long autumn and winter months.
August 17th, 2010  
What a great photo. Glad to hear Dill is feeling better.
August 17th, 2010  
Nice photograph. Two pretty ladies and a beautiful cat.
August 17th, 2010  
What a fantastic day....and to meet someone from here who you already knows shares part of your world and interests..brilliant! You all look so happy. Thanks for your comments about the reflections in the glasses, maybe I should have changed and had a tidy up!!lol...as for the wine, well that's Chris' department and he has a wardrobe full out in the garage! I'm not joking!
August 17th, 2010

August 17th, 2010  
That's great that you two got together! Glad Dill made an appearance also. Thanks for sharing the link with the goofy glasses...too funny!
August 17th, 2010

August 17th, 2010  
Love to read about this visit on both your site and Tamara's. Looks like you were in agreement about how much fun you had.
August 17th, 2010  
I just thrilled that you two got to meet! How wonderful can that be? Two 365er's in Nova Scotia getting together! Darn, how I would have loved to have been there. Next time!

That is SOO awesome that you got to meet someone from 365 Louise!!! I'm just so excited for you! :D
August 17th, 2010  
oh, Louise this is is incredible. i looked at Tam's project and saw your pictures there, too! wonderful memories abound!!! 365 rocks!
August 17th, 2010  
Nice picture & story pleased for you (:
August 17th, 2010  
Were you finally able to wrestle that camera from her hands? She's lucky Dill didn't take a swipe at her.

Great that you could make yet another 365 connection. What a crazy world.
August 17th, 2010  
Louise, thank you so much for the lovely note!! The puppies were too cute, but i am sure Tao wouldn't love the company... Cats are all about the attention, you know ;-) I am glad i got a photo-memory, though! Next on the list is a candid stranger's shot! ;-) I just started a new thread that can benefit from a photo from you: http://365project.org/discuss/general/1435/show-usyour-home ;-) Have a lovely evening, dear friend! ;-)
August 17th, 2010  
Wonderful picture! This is an amazing place to make new friends! How lucky for you to get to meet some of them! Dill is looking better!
August 18th, 2010  
How fun that you've met another 365er!!! I love it! :) That reminds me - do you know yet when you are coming back to Chicago?
August 18th, 2010  
Just lovely. How wonderful to be able to make those 365 connections in person. I have truly enjoyed your photos from your NS summer, and I will definitely be missing the daily Dill updates, haha.
August 18th, 2010  
So very cool that the two of you got to meet! I've met so many people in person that I first met online. I have a monthly lunch with some friends who are in an online group with me and we have a great time. Each time someone new comes.
August 18th, 2010  
Oh, what fun, Louise. Another 365 Meet-up...right in your own neck of the woods!
August 18th, 2010  
How cool that you got to meet a fellow 365'er! I've always wondered if my path will cross anybody else's. Dill is a lot bigger than I thought he was!
August 18th, 2010  
Love this, Louise. I'm so envious that you got to meet a fellow 365er. How fun! Your collage is great!
August 19th, 2010  
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaw, such cutie pies! :)
August 19th, 2010  
This is just gorgeous and I am surprised how big Dill is. OK our two cuties are quite small and slender. Or Dill maybe has some Maine Coon blood.
August 19th, 2010  
It's so cool that you two were able to get together! I'm glad you had a fabulous time. That top photo is great!
August 19th, 2010  
Awww, how great! And wonderful shots of the visit :)
August 20th, 2010  
What lovely shots of you two and of course Dill! :D
It's so good to meet up with friends from 365.
I'm sure when I go back to US or Canada I will try to meet up too!
