Meeting a Blogger Friend!!!
Today was great. Just great!! I got to meet one of my blogging friends. They just hopped on their motorcycle and rode here. I felt like I knew her already from reading her blog, so I had no worries! Abandoned in Pasadena (Sandy) and her husband Jimmy were just as nice of folks as you'd ever want or hope to meet.
We sat here and chatted for a long time and then I took them to Lee's Ford Marina where we ate at the Harbour Restaurant. I have mentioned that place a couple of times in my blog and she said in a comment that she wanted to go there. So I told her that they should just come here first and visit me and then we could go there together, and they took me up on it!!
It was pretty warm today but we sat outside on the deck to eat. We were the only ones brave enough to sit out there so it was real quiet and peaceful. It wasn't that bad. The deck is covered. Naturally we took pictures!
I don't know why my camera made my shirt look like this but it did. It was just a red striped shirt. She may post a better one on her site.
After we left there we went to Haney's Apple Farm. Then I drove them around some more to show them a few sights off the beaten path.
Time passed quickly and all too soon it was time to come home. Then it was time for them to leave.
Thanks for the visit Sandy and Jimmy. I had a super enjoyable day!! You are great folks and welcome here anytime!

Wow that must have been have been fab to meet them.
I am going to being meeting one of my blogging buddies soon too. Isn't it great that there are so many nice people out there.
Take care xx
That is fabulous you got to meet a blogging buddy. What a wonderful day you had together! I love how they hopped on the motorcycle and made the journey. I just got to meet a fellow blogger and was absolutely thrilled. We had a great time when we met at the CGOA (crochet conference) in PA.
Rachel
Sounds like you had a great day. By the way, I had a shirt that looked just like the way the camera made yours look back in the 70's

What a lovely and enjoyable day you all had! Just amazing to meet a blogging friend! Love all the photos and the links too!
How cool! Glad you guys had a great visit together.
Sounds, and looks, like a great time..
Rachel...Jimmy & I had a great time and we hope to see you again sometime. You were a graceous hostess and we both had so much fun and enjoyed seeing the sights with you.
I had trouble getting onto blogger today...I tried to leave you a comment earlier, but an error message showed up.
Hugs,
Sandy :)
It is wonderful to be able to meet your blogging friend. I wish I would have some blogging friends that would be visiting the Philippines and maybe I can bring them around.
Thanks for dropping by.
Rachel,
Ain't it great to meet the bloggers? I've met several now, and you just hit the ground running because you know so much about each other all ready.
Hi Rachel,
I just stopped in here from AIP. How fun that you and Sandy got to meet!
Looks like a good time was had by all.
Oh that is sooooo very wonderful Rachel! I LOVE THIS! I so wish we could meet and I'd love to go to that restaurant and to Haney's for the Fried Pie! I need to hear more about that!!! What a wonderful experiance, dear Rachel...Thanks for sharing it with all of us, mydear!
How great that you got to meet Sandy! I talk to her all of the time through blogger. I found your site from her blog this morning!!!
Hello...I'm Tammy...come for a visit from Sandy's site...looks like you gals had a wonderful time...I'm a displaced Kentuckian...I live in Ohio due to Hubby's job transfer...I hope to one day get down to visit with Sandy and her daughter Sharon because I go about a hour north of her when I go down to visit my daughter in Central Ohio...now I really want to meet her since ya'll had such a good time!!
:-D
I'm so glad she didn't turn out to be a serial killer...
(Just kidding. This is the reaction of several people I know who are aghast when I tell them that I've actually met people from the internet.)
The picture and post were great!
I am so glad you had a great time!
I can't wait to meet a blogger friend for real! The stories about doing that are just awesome!
WTG
Have a wonderful day!

Hi I found you while reading comments on another site. Nice blog. I have enjoyed what Ive read so far. Im bookmarking you so I can come back for a closer look
This was a wonderful visit you guys had! It surely made your week, maybe the whole month.
I read Sandy's post, it was very informative too, about the visit.
Did you know they rode motorcycles before they came? They could have been some of those California 'Angels.'
I used to ride with the San Jacinto High Rollers. Some of them/us looked pretty tough.
..
So glad to hear that you all had a wonderful time. I know Jimmy and Sandy were excited to have met you and said they had a great time. I thought it was funny how you and Jimmy knew so many of the same people. What a small world afterall!
Just forgot to mention this. You sure do hold your own on eating.
..
Looks like a great time. Hi here by way of Sandy's. I think you striped red shirt looks very cool in your picture. I gues maybe the camera could not decide what to focus on.
What a great day you had Rachel. Ralph and I will stop by one day.
Or better yet, come visit us.
What's next? Blogger reunions?
