SWAMPSCOTT and PARIS MEET in BOSTON
When I first learned that Claude from Blogging In Paris was going to be visiting friends in Sudbury, MA which is a suburb of Boston, my thought was, "how were we going to get together." I live north of Boston and Sudbury is west of Boston.

Well, you know the old saying, "if there is a will, there is a way." Claude was visiting Ronni in Portland and found out that there is a train that leaves Portland and goes directly to South Station in Boston. It's been years since I have driven into town but I was able to arrange a ride that took me to the station.

Her train came in even earlier then scheduled, I arrived early too. Well, I wish you could have seen the two of us -- She spotted me before I saw her but hesitated, she saw someone that looked like me but I was sitting with a gentleman and then she thought, "well, that could be Millie!" By this time I recognized her and we both ran to each other. As far as the gentleman was concerned, the station is a busy place and he asked if he could share the table with me.


I have read Claude for a few years now and know what a lovely, sensitive and caring person she is but meeting her in person I found she was even more special then I imagined. What a wonderful visit we had!!


Fortunatly, my daughter-in-law Carol was working in that area that day, met us at South Station and walked us over to Les Zygomates, a restaurant that she is familiar with. I rarely get into town so having Carol take us over there was a big help. She went back to work and left us to enjoy lunch together and gab, gab, gab.

To top of having a great lunch with Claude we each had a cappuccino - was that ever good!


Steve and Carol joined us after lunch and got to spend some time with Claude and as you saw from my previous post, he video blogged us.


Isn't it wonderful how blogging brings people together from near and far!!
