To my delightful surprise, the next morning I had a reply....to say I was thrilled is an understatement......thus began my friendship with Marion.....we are the same age, share our faith in Jesus, love our families, mutual gardening interests, enjoy our homes, among many other likes......
We often wrote how wonderful it would be to meet face to face....I have never flown and doubt that I ever will unless a dire emergency arises.....Marion is a retired travel agent and she and John are seasoned travelers.....Edward and I issued an invitation to come for a visit....and they graciously accepted. Six months ago we set a date ......and now the time is at hand.
On May 18th, we will meet them at the Atlanta airport....finally we will see them, Lord willing, and can actually embrace them....friend to friend.
They will be here for 12 days and we plan to travel some around our state and perhaps neighboring states......our church congregation is planning a 'southern church dinner' on the Sunday they will attend services with us. Our children and grandchildren are planning a special event in their honor......
So, dream dreams....sometimes they actually do come true....mine did......meeting someone from another side of the globe with like interests.....God is indeed very good......
Marion and John`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
I won't be posting until the first of June probably unless Marion and I have time between visiting......and talking........and talking..........and talking...........
