I am also a participant on a local forum in my area. Of course, not everyone is local, many are people hoping to move to our area some day.

When they came to their vacation home, they invited us over for supper last night. It was fun to sit outside in front of a roaring bonfire. There were 2 other couples and we enjoyed ourself a lot. Dinner was cooked on the grill and was great. It is nice to make new friends over the internet.
