I'm like Charlotte, envious in a good way. Maybe I'll be so lucky to meet with two of my favorite people on the web someday, too. :) Ah, well. I can dream. <br /><br />Well, I'm off again. I came home for a quick stop to make some sandwiches before heading out again. I loved getting to talk with you earlier. I now have my happy knitter face on instead of my disgruntled knitter face. ;)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076870583313429655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-41762507300498840242012-09-08T23:18:48.888-04:002012-09-08T23:18:48.888-04:00How FUN!

We will likely send our car/van to the West Coast (Seattle) and drive across the country (just 'cos that's how we roll and the kids can see family and the country on the way back to MD) . . . and we have to drive through OH. So . . . opportunity abounds! I loved meeting a few of the bloggy friends I have thus far - I've been richly blessed in that (Easter, Esther, Fr. Daren, Kissy-Christine, and????) I mean, we are the body of Christ - I think we all reflect that very well. <br /><br />Love ya, toots!~Sarah Oldhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00169484284618791110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-6931249596635861812012-09-06T15:50:37.669-04:002012-09-06T15:50:37.669-04:00I was so glad to see that the two of you got the c...I was so glad to see that the two of you got the chance to meet. Two very sweet souls, you both are.<br /><br />I know I've only had the chance to chat with Miss Margaret a couple of times, but she sure is a sweetie. We Minnesotans are proud of our MN Mom blogger :) And a nice namesake for my littlest girl too.<br /><br />I hope that you two get to meet up again very soon.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604810218733272554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-27683071050039880642012-09-06T13:36:02.368-04:002012-09-06T13:36:02.368-04:00I met Margaret too! at Jamies home.

They are so predictable! :-)<br /><br />I must say, our visit could only have been made better by having, what did Margaret say? "a circle of Christian friends by a good fire." Including you.

In a good way I think though, not in a "I need to go to confession kind of way". <br /><br />And can I just say that I love that both your boys have the same expression on their face! My manchild would have fit in right there next to them with that expression.

You are such a rock star now.<br /><br />Anyway, you may NOT cry. Wet eyes, ok; no sniffling. We WILL meet again, and I promise it won't be five years. <br /><br />And about "patience," I told you I left some unpublished thoughts. Patience was in there. :-)Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747308009364094199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-443469575862836712012-09-06T11:34:17.781-04:002012-09-06T11:34:17.781-04:00Ah, thanks, Nancy.

(25 weeks!) and should have known better than to read this before leaving. <br /><br />(Couldn't help but notice that you didn't extol the virtue of my <i>patience</i> in this post.) <br /><br />I love the Catholic blogosphere for bringing me near--in spirit if not in miles--to sisters of the heart such as yourself. What an unfathomable blessing! In the words of C.S. Lewis:<br /><br />“Is any pleasure on earth as great as a circle of Christian friends by a good fire?”<br /><br />And also: <br /><br />“The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.”<br /><br />Hee! Didn't want to end on too, <i>too</i> serious note, after all. :)<br /><br />Love to you, dear Barbara, and to all the other sisters of the heart who read BOTH our blogs and who, God willing, we will one day meet. God is so good!♥Margaret in Minnesotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603439076606550856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-6936935690761433222012-09-06T10:04:35.855-04:002012-09-06T10:04:35.855-04:00I loved reading this!
