Holly and her young son were already at Taloola Cafe by the time I arrived. She greeted me with a hug and we sat outside in spite of the drizzle, using our umbrellas as a canopy.
We hadn’t been sitting there talking for very long before a lovely young woman passed by wearing this tee shirt.
“I like your shirt!” I said. Not only did she confirm that she blogs, but said she was there for the monthly Meet-up of Windsor bloggers.
I kid you not.
We told her we were both bloggers meeting in person for the first time. At that we were invited to join them. Before the night was over, we had met Vicky (My Local Food), Candace of Blog Windsor and Femilicious, Rob (Late Night PC), Paul (W.E. Speak, The Windsor Shadow and others), Andrew (International Metropolis), and Pina and Adriano, authors of the Best Local Canadian Blog 2008: Windsor Eats.
I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.
Holly thinks she’ll probably sign up for the same yoga class four Sundays in July; we can ride together and have tea after.

Wasn’t that just the coolest?! Even funnier, I actually know Candace! I used to be best friends with her sister in grade school!!! How wild is that? The world really is a small place! I’m so glad we decided to get together, it all worked out so well.

This is so great. It’s as if you & Holly meeting was the key to a Universal portal and now so much has opened up – new blogs, new blog friends in real life and in your area, a new companion to have tea with, go to yoga with and no doubt discover more exciting things about Windsor with … and so much more. You sound alive in this post. Nelly the Elephant has squirted water all over you once again!

It was incredibly cool — and Holly, I never would have recognized you but since you’ve pointed it out, I remember you! The internet has made the world a very small place.
I hope you come out again next month and bring your friends.
