Visit, Nancy

On Thursday, May 28th, a friend flew in from Ohio

to visit. Nancy and I have been friends for a year

and a half now but we had never really met face to face.

We met over a website called Clubmom. Actually, Nancy

and my cousin, Kathy became friends before Nancy and

I did. We were all on the same site.

Clubmom was a site (it is no longer a working site since

December 08), where Mom’s went on to meet, discuss,

talk, and to share pictures. It was a really easy site to

get around in. When you signed up you were given a

calendar on your page that you were able to download

a picture to each day. Only one per day. The calendar

would change over to the next month at the end of each

month. But you could go back to any month and view

anyone’s photo’s or go back by the year. You could

post your family, pets, vacation spots, nature shots…

just whatever you wanted. With this site you met

Mom’s, and some Dad’s, you met their children

or grandchildren, sister’s and brothers and pets.

You were able to learn a lot about others and

view some amazing photo’s taken all over.

There was a profile page for each person, you

could put whatever you wanted to about yourself

or as little. I met a lot of people that I am still in

touch with via Facebook now.

Nancy, Kathy and I continued our friendship via

the phone and computer since the ending of Clubmom.

We send Christmas gifts, birthday gifts and just pick

me ups through the postal service but we had never met.

The three of us were trying to plan a girls weekend

away in Chattanooga . Nancy was to fly from Ohio

to Nashville and her and I were to drive there,

Kathy was to drive up from Georgia so that the

three of us could get to know each other face to

face and share the time out and about with our

camera’s. Kathy was unable to meet us in

Chattanooga so Nancy and I decided to stay in

Nashville and I drug her around my stomping

grounds to photograph this, that and whatever else.

I had a great time, she is quite, which I am not.

She is so sweet and giving. I hope that she had

a good time here and I did not wear her out

dragging her everywhere. I put her on the

plane home yesterday evening.

We made a trip around my area. Introducing

her to family and friends. We went to Watertown

because she had seen some shots I did there

and she wanted to try those same shots. We

went to 2nd Ave. downtown, to a lake at

Summit Hospital, to Centennial Park, The

Parthenon, to the Farmers Market, around

the Capitol and then to Gaylord Hotel in the

Conservatory. I think she went home with

over 500 shots to play with.

It was really nice to finally meet face to face.

To have our friendship grow to that next stage.

Maybe one day she will be able to take me

around her home to photograph any and

everything! Thanks for the visit Nancy ,

I so enjoyed it.
