Meeting my friend Lynn L. Alexander

We left the campground at 10:30 am. It was an hour's drive to where she lived.

Two-lane highways in this state are frustrating to drive on. Speed limits are only 45 mph on a lot of roads, and they are curvy and hilly, but once on the four-lane highway we made good time and arrived at her condo by 12 noon.

I was excited to meet this person, this fellow writer whom I had formed an online friendship with here at Medium. And she felt the same way. When she found out we were going to be in Connecticut for the month of June, she quickly asked us to come visit her. We hugged and felt an instant connection immediately.

I started writing on Medium in August of 2020, but didn’t become faithful until December of 2022. Lynn started in November 2022, and we found each other through similar publications and other writers. Now we are fellow editors.
