Hypergraphic, though sadly less so these days, Bridgett has introduced me to the worlds of South City St Louis, of quilting, of Benedictines, of growing up in the southern US, of stoops and good neighbours and Hoosiers, of maths lessons and 8th grade boys, of tattoos, and of murkier worlds than either of us live in. We share a love of a nice Cabernet and ripe tomatoes, of writing and of hand-written letters, and of our small blogging crew of mutual friends not-yet-met. I am watching her children grow up, see her reaching out to others, and fear for her during riots and tornado warnings. On Pasta and Chardonnay nights, I cook some of her recipes. We live half a world apart, but we know each other.

- I like the idea of counting each day as a separate life. Starting anew, celebrating what we have, rather than what we don't. Remembering days that have shaped me, made me who I am. Or just today.

Such a lovely post. I wonder if my blogging friends half a world away (and closer) know how much they come up in my daily conversations. I should tell them. Thanks for this reminder.

Gorgeous. I love how these friendships can blossom, covering miles of distance between two screens.
