Okaay. We’re on the final countdown to the meet.
For some reason, I had it in mind that we’d potter on down to Colorado Springs today, book into the hotel and arrange a meet on Saturday. But no. As the body clocks aren’t reset yet, we were awake and chatting at 4:00 am this morning. Just as I was starting to settle back into a snooze, Susie decides to log on and check her email. And there was an email from Linda. Inviting us to lunch at her apartment tomorrow – which of course is today, Friday. OMG! That woke me up rather!
So we have emailed back to say, yes, we’d love to and now I’m chewing my fingernails (metaphorically at least).
I think that’s actually a really brave thing to do. To invite 2 strangers into your home when you’re on your own takes a bit of nerve. And I don’t know if I could do it myself.
I won’t pretend that I’m not just a bit nervous. Because I am. Not scared, not wishing I had never had the idea to come to visit, but there are definitely a few butterflies and I think they’ll be in full flight the nearer we get to 2 pm.
We’ll be checking out of the Holiday Inn very soon and hitting the highway. Colorado Springs is even higher in altitude than Denver and it’s another jolly warm day outside. So my next post will be after the meet. Wish us luck.
