After the service, I sought out the minister I met last year (not easy ~ you know about me and faces!). Remember I went to the previous two years in drab, and I spoke to her each time. So I almost fainted when I introduced myself as "Meg" and said I spoke to her at previous TDoR events and she said "I remember you!" That's absolutely the LAST thing I want to hear under those circumstances!
It turns out, she remembered my blog. I had given her the address and she took the time and trouble to visit and matched me up to my pictures. Crises averted, although she has met Meg and the other me. That makes her one of a small but slowly growing group.
From there, Cindy, Charity, Rachel, and I went to a nearby restaurant. We had some t-chat, some girl talk, and some nice food in a mostly-empty restaurant. I can't speak for the rest of the girls, but I did not want to leave. Alas, Tuesday night outings means Wednesday morning work.
Here is a picture of the t-threesome and the program for the event. Click on any to enlarge.

Beautiful. It seemed like a perfectly wonderful and lovely evening to honor the memories of others.
ReplyDeleteIt had to be affirming to be with out and accepted.

Meg -
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed by the minister.... She remembered you and your blog - and I now have a certain respect for her without even having met her.
