Microblog Monday: Happiness Is Tea and an Old Friend

 I’ve been fortunate through Facebook to have reconnected with some friends from high school—more than forty years ago! Over the past month I’ve had the joy of being able to get together with two of them face to face and talk for hours—just like nothing had changed.

I had a lovely afternoon on Saturday with Sue Munroe at a delightful little tearoom in Warwick called Trinity Confections. Wonderful food—soup, salad, quiche, and delicious pastries and homemade chocolates—and great talk.

So people I didn’t think I’d ever see again have reappeared in my life, and I’m so grateful for that!

    1. It really is. Much more than I expected when I joined--I was a little skeptical.

  3. That's lovely. Just last night I met school friends after 34 years, thanks to FB again. Lovely pictures, Elaine.

  4. Through Facebook, I've also had the chance to reconnect with some people from long, long ago and to meet some new friends IRL (in real life). I'm a travel blogger, so this has happened for me all over the world---in Thailand, Singapore, Honolulu, Toronto, Ottawa and sometimes even in my hometown, Philadelphia. Last week, I re-met two people in Munich, Germany. It had been very gratifying.

  6. So glad you had the opportunity to reconnect, I guess Facebook isn't all bad afterall.

    1. Facebook has been a real boon to me, and I say that as someone who resisted it for years. Not only remeeting old friends but finding new ones and learning from them and picking up new interests.

    One day soon, Alexis

  8. It was great seeing you earlier this year, Elaine. We definitely need to figure out a way for all four of us to get together. Nice picture of you and Sue. Maureen

    1. That would be so great, Maureen. Maybe when your play opens, if not sooner!
