WWKIP OR Just An Excuse To Meet Up With A Friend?

Yesterday was WWKIP, World Wide Knit in Public Day. My friend Ann-Marie asked me to meet up with her so we could participate. We met at a local coffee shop to enjoy lattes, knit and talk knitting. I love spending time with AM, she always has a funny story or something interesting to talk about. Not like me. All I seem to talk about is homeschooling, my husband being away and my kids. Oh, how I have changed from the days I lived and worked in Toronto as a Marketing Specialist.

Anyways, back to WWKIP. We met, we drank, we talked, we knitted and we met a lovely lady, Michelle who came in with her hubby for a coffee and lo and behold, to knit! We had met a fellow knitter by chance who didn't even no about WWKIP.

Michelle and hubby had all kinds of questions about the area and Ann-Marie totally impressed me with her knowledge and promotion of the County. Everything from the Maple Syrup festival to the Santa Claus parade, from the future skatepark to schools, from all sorts of local attractions to restaurants and winerys...the girl is a fount of information. I used to be the Maketing Specialist (in my life before kids and the County) but I couldn't have remembered all that if my life depended upon it. Was it having children or spending years focussing on homeschooling that have dulled my brain? Oh lala, I have no idea :-(
I enjoyed our visit although it was way too short, not like the evening visits we've had where we've knit until 1am sometimes.
