Old friends are definitely gold

Last Friday I had lunch with my "big sis". It was so fabulous. Of course, me being me, there has to be "more to the story" than just going and meeting her for lunch. I got lost. Not lost lost, but 'temporarily unable to find my location' lost. I thought I knew exactly where I was going - that should have been clue number one! I "knew" where the Applebee's was...except I was a town off. I was thinking of the one in Park City and when I got there, I realized I wasn't in NEWTON! Needless to say, I was 30 minutes late because once I got to Newton, I had no clue where the Applebee's was. I do now, if anyone is going and needs directions. Turns out, had I not gotten off on the first exit, I would have been fine - it was at the second exit.



Bless Kim's heart, she was still there...patiently waiting. We had a fabulous lunch...for 4 hours. It is hard to catch up in one sitting, but we gave it a whirl. I am so glad that we have gotten back in touch. I have missed her and thought of her a lot over the years.



I don't know if I mentioned this before, but she named not one, but two, characters after me in a trilogy that she wrote! I guess technically she named one, and then the other character was named for the first character. And, yes, that's why I will never be a published author - I write convoluted sentences.

Here we are in the restaurant...I am so unphotogenic it isn't even funny. My hair had looked pretty good earlier, and apparently I need to wear more makeup because you can't see it at all, but you sure can't tell from this photo...But Kim looks great!

Check out her blogspot...she is posting there along with Tracie Peterson, Lori Copeland, Robin Lee Hatcher and Tamera Alexander. They each post one day a week. An "inside look" at 5 Christian authors...pretty fun. I am linking her over in my friends column....it is Writes of Passage
