Road Trip – Day 6

Meeting Jim & Donna

“Piecedtreasures” on Xanga

Monday, August 23

 

 

A highlight of this road trip was meeting piecedtreasures and her husband, Jim. It was a special honor to be invited into their home for an evening meal.

 

 

Meeting Xanga friends is a reward that I never thought about when I began entering blog posts in December 2005.

 

 

We enjoyed a delicious meal of lasagna…

 

 

dinner rolls…

 

 

and salad.

I forgot to take a photo of Donna’s homemade peach cobbler. Yum!

 

 

I enjoy seeing where my Xanga friends work on their computer. Now I can visualize where Donna sits when she enters her posts.

 

 

Cerwin and Jim also have a lot in common – including a love of hunting…

 

 

 

 

…and music.

 

 

When he found out that we like mountain folk music, Jim showed Cerwin his psalteries.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was the first time we ever saw a gourd thumb piano.

 

 

We felt like kindred spirits in many ways, and could have spent another day visiting.

 

 

We thought we were going to miss meeting their daughter Betsy, but she came home from work as we were preparing to leave. Donna posts a lot about Betsy and her “hearing dog” Luna, so it was delightful to met her.

Thanks so much, Jim and Donna, for your hospitality. It was an evening we will treasure in our hearts.
