Meeting a friend

Ever met someone you have known a long time, for the first time?
I have known Bren for what seems like forever. She is close to me like a sister, we know so much about each other. We met online, and emailed a lot, helped each other out as we could with things. I help her run her yahoo group, and she helped me with mine till it was no longer a busy site.
We call each other, email, about our families, our lives, our shared love of crochet, and our furbabies.
But we had never met.....Until...
On the way home from Toledo we were going though Columbus. So I called my daughter, and had her look up Bren's number for me. And I called. SURPRISE...we are coming through town, would you want to really honestly meet for real in person TONIGHT??!!
she was so excited, and so was I. We arranged to meet at a restaurant not far from where she lives, and have dinner together.
I was in the bathroom when she came in (Go figure) but I knew her the moment I came out. I would know that lady anywhere.
After much hugging and tears we sat down to enjoy a lovely dinner. looking over the menu, I kept going back to the same entree. I decided on what I was having and when I asked her she had decided the same thing, exactly the same! Her hubby and mine laughed, and said we are too much alike.
We chatted through dinner, then they invited us to Dessert at a cute little ice cream shop down the street. again we ordered the same thing. it was so fun.
We enjoyed the evening, and it was so hard to say goodbye..
My one regret is no photo. I forgot to grab the camera till they were pulling away!
