Remember That Llama?

This past Thursday, MFH (My Favorite Husband) and I had a Chamber of Commerce get together in our town.  BWW (Buffalo Wild Wings) was hosting it so there was an exceptionally large turn out.  There were many people there who do not normally attend (That was pretty funny.  They were there for all the free BWW food.)

The objective at these gatherings is to make connections and plug your business/project.  We try to represent our radio station, Classic Book Radio (http://www.wmfhlp.org/), at these events.  We are making some good contacts and seeing some positive things happen from attending these events each month.

This month (March) having St. Patrick’s Day and all, we were told to wear green.  I don’t own anything green.  Seriously!  I dug through my closet and drawers for something green.  I don’t even own a green pair of socks!  It was sad.  That’s when I remembered my medal!  My medal from last weeks 50K had a very. green. ribbon.  It was the only green thing I had, so I put it around my neck, MFH tossed on a green striped oxford shirt and we bounded out the door.

We were doing the socializing thing when this youngish lady sits down next to me.  We were seated at high bar tables so many of us were having to “climb” into our chairs.  She was climbing.  She was vertically challenged like me.

We laughed at the height of the table and chairs and started chatting.  She does investments.  I told her about the radio station.  She lives in town. We live in the country.

Funny!  Her Dad lives in the country, too!  Where?

I told her.

Her Dad lives out in the same area!

Where?

Holy Cow!  I run on his road (Limerock Rd.  I know you’ve heard me talk about running on Limerock Rd a lot!). I told her that I run on Limerock all. the. time.

She said her dad has the big (I would call it HUGE) house right past the railroad tracks.

Oh!  Is that the house with the Llama?

Yes!!!

Three Llamas, right?

Yes!  Well, except one of the Llamas is expecting.  Soon there will be four.

Well, there you have it.  Her dad, lives on Limerock Rd. and I know exactly who he is.  He drives a white duely with flames painted on the sides.  Can’t miss that truck!

Small world.

This is a pic I took of one of the Llamas when I ran by their house a couple of months ago.
