Maggiemae & me

So excited to meet up with @maggiemae today.
We have followed each other for must be almost four years now & did feel we knew each other pretty well on paper but was still a little aprehensive about meeting someone actually in the flesh.
Needn't have bothered of course as she was exactly as I thought she would be a perfect warmhearted interesting person and John her husband was very interesting & good company too. Their daughter Kerry drove them up so much thanks to her & them for sparing a good part of the day trekking up to our part of the world.
I will look on maggiemae as a friend on paper & in flesh & really will make a good effort to meet up when in NZ next time.
Love to you both on your journey back home, we loved meeting you so much!
Thanks to John for the photo taking!

Three good things:
1. A world opened up by 365 and new friends to share it with.
2. Harry & I shared our 52 year wedding anniversary today.
3. Two lovely bottles of NZ wine sent by our DIL...thank you so much. X
Shewood Estate Pinot Noir Waipara Valley & Sherwood Estate Stoney Range Sauvignon Blanc for Maggiemae's information.
Got to be a fav. The power of modern technology. Not all bad. Got to be a fav for wonders of 365. Got to be a fav for 52 years of marriage. What a mile stone. Congratulations.

Well, here we are with a full face portrait of us both! It was so nice to be with you Pat and hear and see you in the flesh! We had so much to share and knew so much about each other - not always with any friends! Photographs share more than technology and good settings!

What a lovely story and photo, this project certainly brings out a lot of kindness along the way.

It is so neat to meet up with friends, and in most cases I have read when this happens, friendship is just what it is, and whether it is on paper or in person, the hearts have already met and bonded.
September 13th, 2014  
How fabulous to finally meet up! And congratulations to you and Harry on your anniversary! What a day it must have been!
September 13th, 2014
