I packed my coffee and a lunch for two. Emily and I headed over to my friend Jessica’s house for a fun play date and visit with our friends. Emily was pretty tired when she got home, but we made it home in time for…
Another play date with another great friend. I actually met my friend Renee (@ReneeCrabtree) through Twitter, if you can believe it. She was my first friend that I made virtually that I met up with in real life. She saw me tweeting about knitting and said she wanted to learn. I offered to have her over and teach her and we have been friends ever since. And her knitting? Amazing! She has been doing lace patterns and whipping up things I haven’t even dreamed of trying.
Best of all, she is a work-from-home momma and has two kids around the same age as my children. It is so good to have a friend who can understand the trials of working from home and juggling the children. I am very thankful for my friendship with her and look forward to our knitting dates more than I can say.
Good friends. Good coffee. Good yarn. What more can a girl ask for?

It sounds like y’all had a lot of fun. It’s cool you met someone online that you could be friends with in person.

I want to learn how to knit so badly. Unfortunately, I know noone around me that does it to teach me and the local craft store only offers classes once a month and it’s always during a time that I cannot attend. :-/
You are so lucky to have a knitting friend.

So far, I’ve met Revka at http://www.ourfamilyporch.blogspot.com. She’s a sweetie and is the same in person as on the net. We share very similar beliefs and convictions and get along well (at least I think we do!). Although we live many hours apart, traveling across this state has allowed her to drop in to my house, me to visit her house, and her to visit me while I was visiting my parents house. We also have children that are close in age. How fun. I hope to be meeting more online friends soon. I’m hoping to make it to a conference in May.

Amy – it’s such a pleasure to know you. Too bad you got a weird smile out of me
I’m honored to be in your life and hope we will still be friends even when we can’t knit and our kids are grown. You’re super funny in that improper way that I love.
