Unexpected Connection Working on my next writing project, I had the honor of interviewing an authentic cowboy. He is my husband’s cousin’s brother-in-law who lives in Montana. I reached out to this cousin to schedule a time to talk with her and her husband about my project. Afterward, she suggested that I speak with her brother-in-law Brian who restores motorcycles and has horses. In between completing my lengthy to do list on a busy weekend, I seized a moment to call him to schedule a visit or zoom meeting for some time in the future. I planned to leave a message if he didn’t answer. To my surprise, he answered and said that I caught him at a good time, which after talking with him, I realized how truly rare the moment was. He explained it was a fluke that I called at that moment as he had just returned from a long trip. He works most days from five in the morning until ten at night and was scheduled to leave for a month-long adventure early the next morning.

It’s a wild ride watching unplanned connections unfold into perfect alignment. A dear friend recently started creating pieces of artwork inspired by his love of music. He’s always been an artist, specifically a sculptor, but with his recent diagnosis of ALS, it’s not possible for him to create as he once did. Seeing his struggle, someone suggested that he express his artistic talent on paper rather than through the larger, more physically aggressive sculpting media.

Experience a Taste of France On one side of the street was La Chatelaine, a bakery established in 1991, the year my twins were born, and known for offering “a little France to every customer.” It claims to be the first French Bistro and bakery in central Ohio. To them I say, “Merci Beaucoup!” The ranch style building had a European feel with low ceilings, sturdy wooden chairs, and small tables, perfect for a warm chocolate-covered croissant and spot of tea. Of course, I have never been to France or anywhere in Europe, so this is my assumption from watching movies or pure imagination. Thirty-four years later, there is a “new kid” café on the block, Paris Baquette, across the street from La Chatelaine. This café promises “expertly crafted baked and brewed goods to our guests through a warm and welcoming bakery café experience that delivers joy to everyone...treating you as our neighbor.”
