Pondside is in our area taking care of business...but she had a free evening. And so we made plans to meet up around the table at Milestone's last night.
I have a few other blogging friends that knew Pondside as well...but had never actually met her in person. That changed last night...when they joined us for coffee and dessert.
Three years ago I never knew any of these gals...and now I feel most blessed to call them my friends.
The hours flew by...and we even left a few things to talk about next time! And there will be a next time.
I wish everyone could get a chance to meet blog friends in person. The experience of getting to know a person without a physical presence is really quite lovely - when you actually meet it's almost like there's a history there. Perhaps it's a little like pen pals used to be before email and instant messaging.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun evening!
How very nice for you all. It is amazing how one can become friends without meeting, but so much better if one can actually meet face to face.
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you've met some blog friends in person! I have one blog friend that lives here in the area, but we haven't managed to meet yet. The rest are scattered from coast to coast...
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! Glad that all you gals were able to meet and enjoy an evening.
ReplyDeleteHow great that you've made these friends through the blog world. Looks like a fun evening.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to meet up with blogging buddies...I will always remember when you and your hubby came walking into my shop last summer in Philipsburg MT and surprised the heck out of me! LOL
ReplyDeleteSorry to have missed it......I'll try for the next time. How fun for you all to catch up around a table face to face.
ReplyDeleteAhh...fabulous. Wish I could have been there. Bloggy friends are the best!
ReplyDeleteI love the blogging community! It is such a blessing to have frequent communication with people you do get to know via their blogs and to have those rare meetings when it is just like a long lost friend =) Very fun that you ladies got to meet!
ReplyDeleteLovella must be so glad that she wore those cute heels ... maybe we all should have crawled under the table with that bright flash on us.
ReplyDeleteIt was very nice to meet Pondside. A beautiful gal!
How much fun was that! I wish I could get together with all my blogging friends! I'll bet you had a wonderful time. Isn't blogging wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBlogging has opened up a whole new world for so many of us, and to be able to meet in person is just added icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing.

You all look so happy to be together. Isn't blogging a wonderful way to meet people - first virtually, then in person?
ReplyDeleteSo awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I never met Pondside, but through her blog I know she is a lovely person. So glad you had a chance to meet!
ReplyDeleteBlogging has certainly opened up a whole lot of wonderful opportunities to meet others and make new friends! Hello to Pondside whose blog I only recently discovered!
ReplyDeleteI always love meeting someone for the first time that I feel I know. The surprises are only to see how tall a girl is or what her voice sounds like. .and how much does she smile. My findings. ..are short. .soothing. .and very much!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is one dinner party that I would have loved to have been a part of. What fun to meet blogging friends in person, and then to have time to sit and share together. Great picture!
