The Pilot & The Pepper

After having spent some valuable time with fellow steemain,

Hive account@papa-pepper and family we decided to get a pic of all of us before their departure. As luck would have it, everyone's personality starting shinning through as the lens began to snap. We got tongues, silly faces and dangling babies. I'm certain that the picture alone can display the level of comfort that was garnered from this gathering.

Some of you know that my wife

Hive account@xtdnrymompreneur made @Rigaronib's Family Pepper Painting for

Hive account@papa-pepper and his family as a gift.

Hive account@papa-pepper gave the our family a ghost pepper seedling, potted elderberry, mulch, and the coveted CAROLINA REAPER PEPPER which is Guinness World Records' spiciest pepper. The beauty of receiving the gifts that we did is that they keep on giving. When people come by and ask us about these plants, we will have a story to tell and I am certain the same can be said for the painting.

As amazing as the Xtrodinary Papa-Pepper Experience has been, it had to come to an end. Papa-Pepper had to get to Mexico and Xtrodinarypilot had to get back to flying. I hope that all who had an opportunity to read this small series has been inspired to meet and network with fellow steemians. As I listen in to the V.O.T.U. podcast, Hive account@sirlunchthehost is talking about minnows (I mean steemians) coming together and supporting one another in large numbers. This experience has been a clear indication of this concept. I've been in contact with several other steemians about collaborating and simply meeting up and getting to know one another. I certainly hope that this can be a start of something that we all can grow from.
