Thanks for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>• Steviewren, I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that there are folks all around us who we might know that way. It's kind of reassuring that the world isn't as large and cold as it sometimes appears. Thanks very much for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks very much for the very kind words, Nikki-Ann. Much appreciated. I hope you'll be back to visit soon. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thank you, Michelle. Serendipity is indeed one of those words that just appears every so often and makes you think. It's a nice word to say but true, it's not used, nor thought about very often. Yet it just seemed right in this instance. Thanks for dropping by. :)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-32605891117051345702009-02-23T19:00:00.000-05:002009-02-23T19:00:00.000-05:00Beautiful pics, as always.Serendipidty is one of t...Beautiful pics, as always.<BR/><BR/>Serendipidty is one of those funny words for me.

It was in fact serendipitous that I happened to be ready to post these photos along with this story. Thanks so much for stopping by with your kind words. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks so much, Rainbow Dreams. I'll bet now that you've said you rarely bump into those where you live, you'll start seeing them. And so cool that you also know Carmi. Thanks very much for dropping by and for your kind words. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks very much, Reb but no need to be jealous any longer. We just got hit with another 10cm overnight. Back to the drawing board. One day spring will arrive. Thanks for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks kindly, Sue. I'm glad to know that you already follow Carmi's blog proving the world even smaller still. Thanks always for the kind words. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks for the visit, Lime. I do believe we'll get together sometime in the nearish future. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks very much, Crabby. I take that as high praise because I know the lengths you and the Lobster (and Moo) travel to escape winter's blast. Thanks for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks so much for your very kind words, Dave. You always know how to make my day. Thanks for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks very kindly, Sandra. I'm glad you like the fog pics. Thanks always for dropping by, my friend. :)<BR/><BR/>• I'm disappointed that you can't see the photos, TSannie. Hopefuly your connection woes will resolve soon. Yes, Carmi and I have been exchanging blog visits for over a year now, which is what made this connection so cool. Thanks for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks very much, Sandy. I'm glad you liked them. Thanks for the visit. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thank you, Shrinky. Yes, I do believe we'll manage a meeting sometime soon. All parties are willing. :) Thanks always for your super kind words. You never fail to make me smile. Thanks for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks very much, Russell. I'm glad you liked the small world story and the photos. Thanks always for stopping by with you warm comments. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks, Shammie. You and I sure don't need to sell one another on Carmi's great talents. Clearly we're both fans of his. That's cool that you recognized your past neighbour. Did you or he make the connection before parting ways for the day, or after - like I did? Thanks always for your kind words. :)<BR/><BR/>• Welcome, Dave and thanks very much for your kind words. Please stop by again real soon. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thank you, Anon. The contrast between the Midwest to Arizona must have taken quite the getting used to. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos and appreciate your kind words. Thanks for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks so kindly, Susan. I'm so glad to know that you, among so many others already know Carmi. And hopefully at least a few more do by now too. Serendipity Circle does indeed sound like a wonderful place to live. Thanks always for your very kind words. They mean so much to me. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thank you, Reya. I'm glad you're also experiencing serendipitous moments. They sure make for interesting days. Thanks so much for your kind comments. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks very kindly, Debra. I hope so too. Thanks for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thanks very much, David.
