a friendly face

It's always exciting to see a friendly face. I was at one of the local quilting stores and happened upon this:

The glare makes it a bit difficult to see, but you are looking at this pattern, created by this friend of mine, and found nestled by Amy Butler's lovely fabric here in Kelowna.

It's funny, but I couldn't help feeling proud of Kim. Is that strange or a just a normal response? I had the pattern in hand and was two feet away from three other customers when I realized I was about to brag about knowing the woman in the picture. I stopped long enough to play the conversation out in my head and realize it was ridiculous.
Me: "Hello there. See this lady here? Well, she's my friend and she created this pattern. Isn't that amazing?"
Other Customers: "yeah?"
Me: "Yup."
Awkwardly is the only way that conversation could have ended.

Kim, I am proud of you and it was nice to see you today.
