Our meeting with my MyLot friend and her husband...

Tweet

We had a wonderful time. My husband and I got to Edmonton late Friday night. It was actually 2am Saturday. We met up with Sparks and her husband for breakfast as their room was not ready for them yet. When sparks and I saw each other she came quickly around to me before I got off of the walk and down the steps. We hugged for a long time, then let go and looked at each other and hugged again for another long time. It was like seeing a long lost friend that I had not seen for years. Even though we had never actually met, we knew each other right away. We went for a nice long leisurely breakfast and we talked a lot. The guys left us and went out to smoke as sparks and I sat there and talked more. We then checked to see if their room was ready and it was. We all went upstairs to get ready for the day. They were having an Art Walk that went down both sides of the street for about 4 blocks. We looked at all of the things on display as there were many artist that had their wares on display. Sparks and I both bought something for each other. The guys just tagged along with us holding the things we bought. Once we lost sparks husband and he found us asking that we come see a young lady that is a quadraplegic and she paints beautiful pictures with her mouth. The lady there with her asked that sparks and her husband watch over Penny's shoulder as she painted so their photographer could get some publicity shots. Me, well of course I took this oportunity to get some shots as well. I looked over at my husband and he is just smiling like crazy and nodding his head up and down meaning that these are going to be good shots. Which they were. When we finished up with the art walk we went for late lunch which was cut short because thy were clearing out the restaurant for a wedding party to come in. Then we got up for dinner and went to a great Irish Pub. Where everyone of us had an autentic irish meal. The food was fantastic. The decor was fabulous. They even had chairs made from tree stumps or parts of the tree trunks. They were beautiful and added a certain charm to the place. We all went upstairs or a short break and possibly a nap. We then went to the wine and cheese tasting they had in the hotel. That was really great, they had several different wines and so many cheeses. I think this was a wonderful time for us as we sat there and talked so much about things that we had done in the past. We laughed and had a great time. I had some hot tea, that I love so much and wouldn't you know that I made a mess while trying to pour the tea from the little tea pot into my cup, lol. Sparks jumped up, always quick on her feet and got some napkins to wipe up my mess. After leaving the wine tasting we went strolling down the steet as sparks really was excited to show me a book store that was one of her favorites. We came to this quaint little place that you'd think was small but it has an upstairs too. What was really great for me was to discover that sparks and I have the same taste in books and what to read. We had read many of the same books. We talked about books and authors. We both bought books. We had a great time. This was another time that we lost her husband. It's a good thing we had cell phones, lol. She called him and he was back at the hotel and she told him to wait there for us at his offer to come and get us. We were wanting to have a little something to drink perhaps coffe or something but discoveed that the restaurant was closing and that it was about 10pm. Wow, our day had passed so quickly. We steped over to the "smoking area" and then we all went up stairs for the night planning to meet up in the morning for breakfast and then all pack up to leave shortly after breakfast as we all had long drives to get back home. All in all it was a wonderful time had by us and I'm sure by sparks and her husband as well. Now to make this a discussion, Have you met up with any of your friends on My Lot? Or are you planning to in the near future? I will post pictures as soon as I get them loaded.
