Meeting a fan of this blog

That day, we visited some old, very good friends of mine that were all ski instructors at nearby Avoriaz with me, during my relatively short tenure there. Both encounters were very pleasant, positive and heartwarming. 

At night, as we were starting eating, or rather picnicking inside our rental place when someone knocked on the door. I opened it up and enters a radiating woman who said her name was Jeanne-Marie, believe it or not, a devout reader of this blog. 

She said she’d been a bit worried that it seemed to be no longer published and couldn’t comprehend why. She seemed genuinely delighted to see me as one would, after finally seeing again one long-lost love. 

Actually, that afternoon, we ran into Odette, a 90 year old lady, originally from Normandy who had married Raymond, the late “soda man” in Morzine (featured in 2012 in this blog), and that happened to be his uncle. 

We then had a long conversation with her and she told us the story of her life in response to ours. She connected with us, when earlier in the day (after we spoke to Odette), her husband Daniel, relayed what he’d learned from Odette that he also met. 

She asked Daniel who I was and he knew me very well and that’s how Jeanne-Maire came  knocking on our door to see me in person the blogger of her life and we all had a wonderful time, as a result of an almost miraculous cascade of uncanny encounters and coincidences!
