Quick Surprise Visit

Yesterday, while sitting in Hobby airport in Houston I got a text from my Florida friend Suzanne. She was in North Carolina and just realized she was actually close to me. Well, she was close to where I live, not where I was at that moment. Suzanne is a self reported by poor geographer. It had not dawned on her that when she made reservations at the Fearington Inn, she would be practically in my back yard.

Well, as a southerner, I had to see her while she was in the old North State. I texted back that I free for breakfast this morning and thankfully that worked for her. So in spite of getting home late last night thanks to a delayed flight, I got up early and went down to see her.

She was here for a wedding and because of some child care issues she was alone as her sweet husband Chris stayed home with their boys. When I arrived at her room I chastised her for not staying with me, but understood the draw of the Fearington Inn. It was quite a treat to get to eat breakfast there since you can’t do that usually unless you are an overnight guest. We had one little dining room all to ourselves which was perfect so we could gab over our splendid cappuccinos and yummy eggs.

It was much too short a visit because I had a zoom lesson with a pair of students in London at noon, but Suzanne understands that as we first met at mah Jongg lessons I was teaching in Cashiers. Since then we have met up at the Tides Inn twice and I have been to visit her at her home in Tallahassee. So now we have added Pittsboro to our meet up places. It was just this time no Mah Jongg playing was involved.

Sadly we forgot to take a photo, but this one was from the last time we were together in Virginia. I told her next time to come stay with me, if I am home or not, she is always welcome at my house.
