Back to the Future
It does not seem all that long ago I was saying goodbye to Lissa in my driveway at home in New York. She and her little ones had just spent a week with us, and they were returning to Virginia before moving to the other end of the known universe--San Diego, California.
Waving farewell, I remember the heart wrenching thought that we might not see each other again until our children's weddings!
If only someone could have shown me these photos of that darling pair of couch potatoes--together again and crazy about each other--exactly one year later! 
Would anyone care to guess the name of the California town that happens to be our meeting place, not only because of its central location, but also because it was the only one that could accommodate us all on short notice? When you find out, I hope you will agree that it was meant to be.
*I did not even realize it was exactly one year, until taking a look at last year's post only a few moments ago. Amazing!
Hmmm. Perhaps Santa Maria?

Did you make it to Carmel, although I do not think is a half way point. You will have to share more !!! Clarice

I'm in the beautiful hill country of Texas and have never been to CA (even though I would LOVE to go!)so I have no clue as to your meeting place but I'm anxious to hear all about it!!!
The pictures of last year and this year are absolutely PRICELESS!!! What PRECIOUS little angel girls!!!

Still sipping my coffee here so I'm not going to make any geographical guesses! lol
What darlings -- can't wait to hear more about the reunion.

It's makes me happy knowing you and Lissa are together again, if only for a short visit. Enjoy!

I agree with Suzanne. It must've been hard for such "bosom buddies" to be so far away geographically. I'm so happy for you all and those pictures are precious.

My second guess would be Guadalupe, which is very close to Santa Maria.
Beautiful pictures!!!

Ever since you got to CA, I've been wondering when you would get to see the Bonny Glen clan. And there you are! Wonderful!
And such beautiful little girls!

So glad to hear of your getting to meet again. How wonderful.

Don't know what town, but those babies sure are precious and I'm so happy you got to visit with such a wonderful friend! :)

They really look like they could be sisters... soooo precious!
Mrs. Gunther, thanks for taking the time to send your kind comments on my blog. You are always so warm and gracious! :)
Your sweet one about wishing I could teach your girls music was especially appreciated... if they are half as lovely as their mother I know I would LOVE having them as students. :)
Blessings!

Such delight. I have to second sweet Claire's gratitude. You do leave the nicest comments. I hope you had a happy visit.

Love those darling baby pictures! I agree with someone above who said they look like they could be sisters! Can't wait to hear the name. I lived there a couple of times - San Diego, Salinas, beautiful!

Oh, those CHEEKS! Edible, I tell you! So nice to see these two together again!

Cute babies! I am going to guess San Luis Obispo, meet me in St. Louis.

Oh, I like Mariposa's guess, now I'm humming away with Judy Garland!
