A cup of toffee coffee, and a friend. A soulful, comforting, blessed combination! Kim-from-Texas and I finally met face to face today, after knowing one another for a decade. She is camping with her family, coming through Knoxville to Boston.
We've home schooled children "together", she's got graduates and I've got graduates, and we've both used the same philosophy and methodology to get the job done. That's how we met - on an online home education forum.
But the common ground goes deeper than that. So much deeper.
She's beautiful, intelligent, funny. The best conversationalist you'll ever meet. We rambled over verbal fields of flowers, ranging on every topic from adolescence to Zen. And something about motorcycles. And grace. And church. And Boticelli and the Burning of the Vanities. Um, coffee and coffee gadgetry, too, of course. (After all, her blog IS "Books and Coffee"!) We spoke of BBQ and salsa, antiphonal singing and Ikea furniture. We shared about things light and easy, and things heart-rending.
Typical home schooling mother-conversation.
We plan on lunch, two years from now.

Oh. my. To have been in that coffee shop with the two of you. Bliss!!
Kim passed by my 'neck of the woods' tonight, but we didn't have our 'tea party.' It will have to wait for that two-years-from-now trek. But oh, to have been with the BOTH of you! How cool would that be...
How wonderful to see the two of you together and see your smiling faces.
Thanks for sharing....
This was a blast, indeed!! I have giggled to myself over how good is our God and what a lovely time he gave us.
Donna-Jean and Robin, we have a date summer after next!
