It's A Small World

A few weeks ago I got a message from one of my readers.  She had seen a cook book I bought a long time ago and featured on one of my old blogs.  It was written by her relatives who ran a successful restaurant in my state.  I had never been there but I always buy local items because I get such a kick out of the history.  She wanted to purchase the book because her copy had gotten destroyed.  I wasn't even sure I still had the book.  I have so much stuff and at times I am not that organized.  I told her I would try to find it.  After a little searching I found the book and was able to mail it to her.  I was just thrilled I could help someone recover a lost treasure.  Another time I had listed an item on e-bay.  One of my customers was interested and bought the item.  After corresponding with her I learned that when she was a little girl she lived in the same town I live in now. We had the chance to talk quite a bit and it was just so bizarre to see how close we had been in proximity and yet had never met.  It really is a small world and I guess it gets even smaller when you factor in all the junk lovers out there.
