Last night was the big night. I got to meet Kitchen Logic face to face. She brought along her friend, Buzz and Buzz's daughter, Little Buzz. Little Buzz attends college here, (one I used to work at) so that was their excuse to drive all the way up to the Far North Land.
We had made arrangements to meet at the Watering Hole. Kitchen Logic expressed some concern about the fact that we wouldn't recognize each other - but THAT didn't happen. I spotted her the minute she walked in the door, as did Lovely Daughter. And she, in turn, recognized both of us immediately.
It was so much fun - almost as though we had known each other forever. And Buzz and her daughter look more like sisters than mother and daughter. There's definitely no mistake that they are related.
Anyway, there were a few drinks consumed, a few karaoke songs sung, and a lot of visiting that went on.
Lars, Lovely Daughter, Ole and I are quite tall people, as are Buzz and her daughter. When it came time to say goodbye and we all stood up, Kitchen Logic said she felt like she was in the land of giants. When Ole was going to give her a goodbye hug he had to squat down a bit so she could get her arms around his neck. BTW - a secret - shhhh - she wouldn't want this let out in public. In one of her blogs she said she doesn't hug. Well, that's not really true because we all got hugs before she left.
I had forgotten my camera (OLDZheimers) but fortunately she had hers and took lots of pictures. Hey, Kathy, don't forget to send me some, okay?
Anyway, we had a great time getting together and I can't wait to do it again, only next time in a quieter atmosphere where we can visit more and actually hear everything that everyone has to say. It was a bit noisy in there - you know how bars can get.
Now I have to get busy. I have to make a tuna macaroni salad for a barbecue that we're invited to tomorrow. I've got a cucumber salad waiting to be made and I've got enough ripe tomatoes to make another batch of salsa. Guess I have my work cut out for me, huh?
Love Lena
