Earlier today, I had a chance to meet up with Grafted Branch from Restoring the Years. However, seeing as how we have now met in real life, I can call her GB.
We had emailed back and forth over the last few months and knew we lived in the same city. Eventually, we decided each of us was who we claimed to be, and made plans to meet for lunch with our girls. And where else do mamas meet for lunch, but McDonalds? Only the Play Place can afford any real conversational opportunities. Otherwise, it would have just been an opportunity for GB to meet me and listen to me say, “Caroline, quit playing with the sugar packets. Caroline, quit squirting the ketchup on your plate. What? You have to go to the bathroom now? Seriously, now?”
And as much fun as that would have been, McDonalds seemed like the best option. We had so much fun discussing various aspects of blogging and assorted other topics related to life, love, faith, and raising girls. She was witty and just a little sarcastic, which, needless to say, is a quality I like in a person.
I think Caroline summed it up best when we were driving out of the parking lot and exclaimed, “Oh Mama, those girls were SO MUCH FUN!”
She couldn’t be more right.
