Over the last 3 years or so I have had the great fortune of meeting some wonderful people online. These people are all preppers and they have reached out and taught me and others so much about prepping. These people not only teach but they live what they teach so their experience benefits those who are new to prepping so very much. I know it has me.
Yesterday I had the very good fortune of getting to meet one of my best online friends face to face. He stopped by for a brief visit on his way home from visiting his father. His name is Ernie and here he is in front of our fireplace.

I have to tell you that Ernie is exactly the same in person as he is online. Funny,
smart, friendly and real gentleman. Oh and also a handsome and sexy man. :)
We really enjoyed his all to brief visit but understand he was needed back home. We do wish he could have stay longer and hope to see him again soon.
Ernie and my husband got along great but then I knew they would. They are a lot alike in their thoughts, feelings about things and actions. They may not see it but I sure did. They enjoyed trading trucker stories and both kept me smiling and laughing at the things they were saying.
Ernie was able to stay long enough to get a home cooked meal so I fried chicken, Cajun fried catfish, mashed potatoes, green beans w/ham and fried green tomatoes. He seemed to really like what I cooked and I sent a big piece of chicken with him to have on the road. He is like me and loves his fried green tomatoes. :)
Here is a picture of Ernie and I together. It is a little blurry but one of the meds my husband has to take makes his hands shaky so he did the best he could to take the picture.

Preppers often get a bad rap by those who do not prep but I have found that most of them are very nice people with hearts as big as the great outdoors. Oh and if you ever get a chance to meet any of your online prepper friends if you feel comfortable doing it I would like to encourage you to do so. They can be a great asset and teach you something you may have not known.
