I think the waitress DID think we were wierd after we didn't leave 2 hours after they cleared the table!
Samwise met me with a boquet of roses from the garden at her church(she tends the garden). I had a small gift for her, too.
Samwise is taller than I expected. I spoke with her on the phone before I left Washington, and I found her voice to be so pleasant.
My kids were there too, just until they finished dinner, then my husband took them swimming at the hotel and let me and Samwise talk.
She filled me in on all the things gooing on here at the Downs while I've been gone. (and BTW I've missed you all.)
It was too dark to see Samwise's Garden or the one she planted at her church so we sat in her driveway and talked some more for another 20 minutes.
I think she must cry at supermarket-openings because she cried when I had to leave(don't be embarassed, Samwise, it's sweet).
It was a really great time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
