[...] Once we played Scrabble with two boards, six players at two tables. Another time my blog friend Naomi called from from Los Angeles because she knew from my blog post that I was there playing Scrabble. And [...]

You talked to Naomi! I’m jealous. Was it as wonderful as reading her blog?

You spoke with Naomi! How lucky you are. I’d give my eye teeth to chat with her.
Love how you captured the experience, Colleen. You have such a cool vibe.

That is so exciting! I am glad I went ahead and visited you tonight.
That made me smile. I just love Naomi and her stories and I think that is so neat the two of you hooked up by phone! I just love the Internet!

Shane is so right about those damn Q’s, Colleen. They just love to stick around in your hand to the end. Damn Q’s
Michele sent me here to read about your phone call with Naomi. I’ve not been to her blog much since her 75th birhtday and I’ll just have to mend my ways and start visiting a few times a week once again.

Sounds like a wonderful afternoon. I have often wished to be able to talk with many of my blogging friends. It is good to hear that it has actually been done.

Funny these reconnections. The internet’s an extra arm of the grapevine now.

I NEVER lose at Scrabble. That’s because I kick the board over whenever I’m more than 50 points behind. I think it’s a guy thing, very few women I’ve met care enough about being undefeated. Of course, I never met Ivana Trump.
Every once and a while you take time to explain why you’re blogging. I decided to give that a try. Let me know what you think.

Hi Terri, David St. Lawrence of Ripples was eating lunch at the cafe when all this happened. We talked about your coming and how we’re both looking forward to it!

This is too cool, Colleen! Really enjoyed reading about (and seeing) you talking to Naomi.
This Internet is indeed awesome. I’ve had the chance to meet the infamous Millie Garfield of Thoroughly Modern Millie this past March. I’ll be meeting YOU in October, when I come to Floyd.
And I’ve already made plans to meet Claude of Blogging in Paris, when I’m there in March.
The Internet/blogging has diminished the size of our world tremendously!

Great story! Amazing when such good things happen.
But I don’t want to Highjack(374) this story with Quixotic(374) Whizbang(374) Musquash(338), so i guess I’d better rattle the tile bag and see if I can get a Quartzy(128) opening.
Here via Michele’s – Hi!

What a good friend you have in your readers.
I didn’t realize Naomi was 75 years old. She presents herself as much younger.

how fun. it’s a small blog world – in fact- I actually live nearby Naomi and I’m sure we’ll meet one day.
p.s.: don’t get stuck w/the “q.”

LOL. I love your account of the ‘phone call’ Colleen… and thanks for slicing 5 years off of my age! (lol)…Right. it’s the big 7 5…..You look great in those pictures and it’s fun to know that we were talking as that one photo was being taken. You too sounded exactly as I had imagined. Isn’t that nice? I LOVE The Blogesphere, Coleen…I’ll have to call again when Mara is there and say ‘HI’ to her, too!
Hope your weekend is a lovely one, my dear.
