Women from Hingham
When Gretchen St. Lawrence and I first met in June for a blogger met-up, we were excited to discover that we hail from the same place. Although we both live in Virginia now, she is from Hingham, Massachusetts, and I am from Hull, the next town over.
At our second meeting, last week in the Café de Sol, the woman in the background of this photo, (using her lap top and in town for Floyd Fest) over-heard us talking and came forward to say that she is also from Hingham! Not only is she from Hingham, but her name is also Colleen (like mine). What are the chances of a line-up like that?! We couldn’t have planned it if we tried.
Do you have any “small world” stories to share?

That’s amazing! I would see that as a sign of some sort. you 2 were meant to meet.

Where I live has so many transplants from New York and New England that my meetings with them hardly qualify as “small world.” But on a flight from Cairns to Sydney I found myself sitting next to a couple from Brooklyn, who lived only a few blocks from where I grew up.

I want this woman’s happiness/life view. It just radiates from her face and makes her look much younger than her hair color.

I have many small world stories – maybe I’ll blog them soon – after I get my computer back. That woman coming from the same area and also named Colleen is an amazing synchronicity! You were destined to meet, I think.
