Friends

This was so exciting.  A couple days ago I was at the grocery store and ran into these people and we were all hugging each other.  They are Uta and Berndt from Berlin, Germany and they would stop in and see me at my store once a year when they came over here from Germany.  Berndt is an incredible photographer and they've just finished a book project for a museum in Berlin.  When we closed the store there were several people who I only saw occasionally that I felt so sad that I hadn't had a chance to explain that we were closing or to say goodbye to them.  The store has been closed almost 7 years.  So to see them and get to talk to them again was just wonderful. All I had was my phone but I got this picture.      Diane

It's so nice to see people from your 'other' life, isn't it? The unexpected nature of the meeting makes it even more special.

How wonderful to meet up with people from your past:)It was a good thing your phone has a camera to capture this special photo.

Just proves that it is a small world when you can run into them after all these years. Have a great weekend. Tammy

So great to see old friends! You definitely should get their address - and stay in touch. They remind you of good times. :) xobean
