Then there is Shari. What a dynamic, interesting, gracious, talented person.
Food? She has told you all about that except for the results. Everything was so good. She is so organized. Had her "recipes" for the visit on a clip board, but don't ask her for them. I feel she is like another friend of mine who is a good cook. This other friend always leaves out "1" ingredient so it won't turn out as well as hers did. This is true. Soooooooooooo good!! Such good food. My idea of good food is to go to a resaturant.
Anyway, Shari met me at the ferry and big hugs and smiles were exchanged. I felt they were sincere on both of our parts. She took me on a tour of the area with stories to go with houses, restaurants, commercial buildings. Then to her house. She said this house was a downsizing from their former home, which we could see across the marshes. OOOOOOOh, such a beautiful setting. Sunken living room with a view most beautiful -- glass sliding doors opening onto a deck and it all looked out onto the marshes and beyond the marshes was the bay. Shari says they can see the sunset. Can you picture it?
Of course then, there was the food, but that is a repeat. I am here to tell you it was delicious, she told you what it was.
She showed me to "my room" which was on the second floor and had a deck of its own overlooking the same scene. I retired in that room and slept without waking up in the middle of the night. Of course, we watched the Miss Universe pagent before retiring. I criticized the show and she was gracious! There is no Sheriton that could be that nice.
In the morning she prepared breakfast (which she also had recipes for on her clipboard). Now is this a teacher?
We went window shopping on the "beach" and EVERY SINGLE CLOTHING store we entered, they all waved to Shari. "Hi, how are you", on and on. After leaving each store she would whisper in my ear that she got a 20% discount there!!!! Everywhere we went, people knew her and with obvious respect. Now I guess I will have to stop being so fresh to her in our chats. Oh lordy, was she fun.
Break!! Spent the past 30 minutes talking with our "realtor" so now I am discombobulated! lol Is that a word?
Shari -- thank you for a wonderful 2 days. Now it is back to the tough stuff.
Bugs -- happy to be back where I can talk about "Shari" without her looking over my shoulder. Our Shari is a wonderful person, and I can't say enough nice about her without sounding phoney.
Signing off for now.

I loved being with Shari and am so thankful to her for such a nice two days.

I am smiling here. Thanks for posting your account of the mini-bug gathering -- I am going back to read it again! Love you both!......BB
Lanie, I think I figured out why your little green nursie icon thingie looks like she's smiling really big and has teeth missing. I think that's supposed to be a surgical mask!! LOL!!

You are loved ~~ far more than you may ever know!
Nothing beats meeting ladybugs in person. I still remember meeting Val and Dee for Sunday brunch. Can't wait for September.
