Funny thing about meeting Sis Esther and hubby yeserday. She asked me on the phone how she would recognize me. I told her what I'd be driving and what type of cap I would be wearing. On the way, I thought that she didn't need to recognize me, that I would recognize her. And I did. I just looked for a woman who looked "holiness". It worked! I knew her right off!

Oh wait... this is 17. Do I hear a drum roll in the distance?

Good thing you recognized her because there are a lot of guys that drive pickups and wear John Deere caps!

I am finally hommmmmmmmmmmeeee!

Oh it is so good to be back home.

It was indeed a great pleasure to meet OA. I got there a little early just in case he may have gotten there just a little early. My husband ended up going with me at the last minute. He kept moving his legs and I thought he was ready to go see his 87 year old aunt. It turns out he was enjoying our meeting with OA as well.

He is just like he post. Very kind and considerate. I hope the next time we get to meet will be for a longer visit.

I will say his aunt was so thrilled to see us we were nearly late for dinner and missed going to our third appointment and had to fit it in that evening after the BIG game. What a downer that was.

There was a man that came in before OA and I thought at first he was OA. But since he was talking to the couple already there we decided that probably wasn't him.

I would mention her name, but, well, she is married, and well... you know how people talk.

However... since her husband was there with us, I'm sure there is no harm in revealing her name...

I met Sis Esther and husband today! Fine folks. It was an honor and priviledge. She wanted to take a photo, but, because my identity is a closely guarded secret.... I could not allow my photo to be taken. You know... security clearances and all that.

Thanks OA it was a pleasure to finally meet you. I'm so sorry we were not able to stay longer.
