this is my wild story of 6 degrees of separation.

you know the theory, the one that we're all connected by just six people to everyone around the world. one person who knows one person who knows one person....will eventually know you..ok. anyway.

last night we were at a neighbor's party and found myself chatting with a group that l had met just that night. the conversation somehow turned to a road trip outting little and l had last month to dunnellon to "look" at a puppy. needless to say we ended up with a new puppy, a mini australian shepherd., we named trip. dunnellon is a sleepy little southern town near gainesville about two hours from home.

one of the gals in this little group hearing our story says,

"oh, did you happen to stop at the rest stop on the turnpike?"

"we did" l replied thinking she was going to have a cute story about pets and rest stops.

"and did you talk to a couple while you were there?"

looking at her strangely, l replied,

"well as a matter of fact we did!"

"well, you were talking to my parents and all my mom could talk about

when they returned was this puppy they saw at the turnpike reststop!"

seriously! are you kidding me? isn't that wild?!

l ended up going home and bringing little tripper back to the party. she went out to her car and got her camera. haha, boy, don't you just wish you could see her mom's face when she shows her pictures.
