As some of you may recall, I met a new friend (Monika) at my pottery workshop a little over a week ago. Monica and I met last Wednesday at the studio and had a great day together. Last week I invited Monica over to spend the day. She is new to the States as she is from Germany so I told her I would meet her in town at the mall. She suggested we meet at the bookstore right across the street from the mall and our plans were all set. I had her home number and cell and she had both of mine too. I put my cell on the charger last night and everything was in place to meet at 10:00 AM. I left the house this morning at 9:30 and arrived at the Borders Bookstore around 10 min till 10:00. I waited, and waited and waited. Finally 10:15 rolls around so I thought I should give her a call to see if we are still on schedule for today. My cell was completely dead. I tried to hook it up to my car charger and still nothing. I just did not know what to do so I just sat there for another 25 min. By now it’s 10:40 and I thought I should drive around the mall to see if there was another bookstore and sure enough, there was a Barnes and Noble and I saw her car parked out front. I was so happy to see that she was still there waiting on me. We spent the day at my house visiting and had a nice little lunch together.
