Weird coincidences!
Filed Under Uncategorized
A totally non sewing blurb today, but an interesting and short one.
(While you are reading this, softly hum under your breath the theme from “The Twilight Zone“)
My sisters and I got together last night. It is something that we do not do often enough, but we do enjoy each others company- I mean what can be better than sharing wine with sisters right?!
However, we are three busy women. (We have an equally busy sister who lives in Calgary, but she couldn’t jet east for the evening) We run the gamut from nurse to marriage thearapist and playwright to farmer/insurance adjuster. Our social and work lives do not intertwine much, and we live in three different communities.
(Keep reading - this is all necessary to the plot..)
Here comes the strange part-
My sister the nurse was excited to tell us about a job opportunity she is hoping to get. It is specializing in the area of adult Cystic Fibrosis and dealing directly with patients. My sister the marriage therapist/playwright said “Oh great. You will be meeting and working with my friend “Ruth”. She has Cystic Fibrosis. In fact I had a wedding shower for her last weekend”
I happened to know that that wedding shower was for someone in the acting community, and I started connecting dots.
I said, “Um, is that friend getting married on the 21st?” The answer was yes.
Well guess what. I will be at that wedding! A friend of mine has a Murder Mystery group that I act in sometimes. It turns out that this wedding is going to be televised for “Wedding SOS”, a reality show on Slice. For some reason they want to have a murder mystery as part of the festivities, so I will be acting at the wedding.
So, by happenstance, this woman will know all three of us, separately. How random is that??!!
Oh yes.
And on national television!
Have you ever had a stranger than fiction experience?

Are You on the List?
How funny! Definitely a twilight zone moment!
Do you see the little watermark in that graphic? The one that says “istockphoto”?
You’re a photo thief! Sheesh mom. I’ll upload a plugin for you that will make it easy to get fun pictures
Along those lines (and involving the same people):
Today I had training for Libro and I said I was going golfing tonight and the guy I was talking to asked where and I said maybe the Fox. He said he knows someone who’s parents own it - turned out to be Lucas and also Shannon Fox. Then after I explained that I was Lucas’ cousin he said “I think Lucas’ aunt is my dad’s nurse” which I assume would be Aunt Tracy?
I have sooo many similar stories but that is just the one that happened today! I swear I can’t meet a total stranger around here anymore.
