today was an extra special day because odin and us had the opportunity to meet lori, a long time reader and postcard sender from palm harbor, florida who was nice enough to let us know that she was going to be in our part of the world and invited us to meet for a cup of coffee and conversation.

we had a great time and we’re happy to report that maybe, just maybe, there’s another person in the world who can vouch for the fact that we’re reasonably normal people and won’t embarrass you too much in public if you take the initiative to invite us out for coffee 🙂

all jesting aside, words are often inadquate to describe how much we appreciate the support we’ve received over the past year from “strangers” and if lori is any indication, you’re an even nicer bunch than we ever could have imagined.

and i’m not just saying that because she surprised us with a new hat or odin!

thanks, lori!
