Several years ago, I started reading a blog called Reflections of a Rabbi’s Wife. It was eerie how often I agreed with her, despite our day to day differences. And I loved her sense of humor, her practical ways, and more. She’d read this blog and comment. I’d read hers. We became…friends.

We even (drumroll, please) started emailing each other.

And then, she decided to stop being anonymous and she told the world who she was.

Leah.

Now, she writes (among others) The Rebbetzin Rocks.

And while I have felt we were friends for some time now, we’d never met.

But today, we did.

What a day!

The kids played outside. We made pizza on the grill. We laughed and took pix (these were good. the others? not so much!). It was like we just met and like we’ve always known each other.

In other words, a perfect day.
