Mike and I had a lovely lunch with some friends today.
They were in the neighborhood to visit family and decided to drop by.
For those of you who don’t know those folks, it’s Richard and Bridget Machida from Fairbanks, AK. I know Richard through his blog, Richard’s Page. We all met in person a few years back, for lunch in a different place. So it was nice seeing them both again and doing a bit of catching up.
Our favorite Mexican restaurant caught fire a while back and we are still waiting to see if it will re-open. So, no fancy food tales, but we did have a lovely, lunch together.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t until after Mike left us that I thought about getting a picture. But at least we got one of the three of us. In front of our local LOVE no less.
I even took them to the famous local caboose photo spot. Now if I can manage to get a second photo uploaded, I will have successfully written this entire post on my phone. (I had to resize the image with an app on my tablet in order for it to post.)
All in all, it was a very nice visit. Maybe we will see them in Alaska next time.
So nice to see familiar faces in places where you don’t expect to see them.
Happy Holidays!
David, you said it perfectly. I thought all those who know the Machidas would be tickled to see them pop up here. 😄
Thank you for meeting up on short notice. I was looking at the map and noticed that Warrenton was right around the corner from Burke. You’ve found a wonderful town in a beautiful area. It was great to see you both again.
As I said on Richard’s post, I’m so jealous you got to see each other again! We have to make a meeting happen before we head west again!
Agreed!
