About 15 years ago or so, I worked at the Vegetarian Restaurant with a beautiful and talented young girl named Brit Biribauer from France. We became fast friends and talked at length about music, and making things, and the ups and downs of life. She recorded an album with her musician boyfriend Luc (which I still have in my record collection) and was aspiring to be a singer and dancer, and with all her talent I didn’t have any hesitation that she just might make it. I found myself wondering about her today, out of the blue, about her lovely smile and cute French accent, and what she might be up to these days. As the day progressed, my mind wandered here and there, I got busy doing things and thus, forgot about the lovely Brit once again.

Rick and I try to get to the Dufferin Park Farmer’s Market every Thursday, to pick up fruits and veggies, and to enjoy the walk through the park. Today, we bought some root veggies, kale and apples and dined on crepes and burritos for dinner, while standing in the rain listening to a dreadlocked musician strumming a tune on his guitar. We bought him a burrito too 🙂 But standing there, next to him, a face I recognized from many years back. A man, a baby. We smile and nod, and I eventually say to him, “I know you, but I’m not sure where from”. He responded with “Yes, I know your face too”. And as we were wondering where, Brit’s memory came back to me and voila! la connection! Luc! Apparently, Brit is back in France and is doing very well there, and Luc has moved on to become a wonderful daddy 🙂 Next time I see him, I will ask for Brit’s email address.

Don’tcha just love those out of the blue moments? I sure do 😉
