Hi Friends,--- Welcome to the Mini Friendship blog hop
It is really a mini blog hop, but a BIG friendship
On my way back from Michigan, My layover was in Phoenix, when I told my friend Carri (aka Abusy-bee), hoping we could meet up, She said "We have to get together". I only had an hour and 15 minutes between flights, but I said I really want to do it, if the logistics work out. My flight leaving Detroit was delayed and would be arriving in Phoenix 20 minutes later than planned. I was still hopeful that we could still meet, even if it was for only 10 minutes. Once on the plane I kept watching the flight status. Our pilot made up 10 minutes which was in our favor. When I got off the plane, I checked my flight status for my departure flight to San Jose and it was delayed by 20 minutes. YEAH!!! Departure was in our favor, we could spend nearly 40 minutes together. My flight would be leaving the same gate, so I knew all I had to do was go through security and retrace my steps . Once I got to the area where I could see about 100 yards ahead of me I could see Carri waving, I waved back and it was just a few short minutes before we gave each other hugs, like we have known each other our whole life. I also got to meet my other two friends, her daughters Megan and Brea. They are both so adorable and sweet and look like mini Carri's. Carri also brought me a Starbucks iced coffee Yum-- I needed that it was so refreshing, she also gave me some skittles and some enamel dots. Do you like the enamel dots? She told me how long it takes to make these, I think that was reason enough for me to buy them from her in the future. I wished we lived closer we could have so much more crafty fun. I am glad we have the blog and the phone. It was one of the highlights of my year.
Ps. I was the last person on the plane and then they closed the door right behind me, Whew- I might have been spending the night in AZ.
On to the mini hop
This hop consists of Carri and me (doesn't get smaller than that)

Follower of both. Have met a fellow blog person, Courtney. I won a prize and when I discovered she lived in TX not far West of me I went to her house and picked up the prize. Although we did not get to talk for long I met up with her again at a yard sale she was participating at.
