Yesterday was a local bloggers meet-up day at Frank's Pizza on Alt. US 220. The event had been arranged by Diane over at Blue Ridge Gal.
The day proved terribly rainy and nasty. I had a sore throat and hadn't felt well for several days, but I had promised I would go. A promise made is a promise kept as far as I am concerned, and since my allergy issues didn't have me abed (and I knew I had nothing contagious) I went off to meet the other bloggers.
Diane was waiting when I arrived. Just Diane. No one else showed, which was too bad for them.
Diane looked spiffy at the bloggers meet-up.
Undaunted, we had pizza and laughs and chats and just generally enjoyed each other's company for an hour or so.
She had brought two items for door prizes, a great set of baskets and a lovely little bouquet of flowers. She insisted I take them home with me, since my name would have been the only one in the drawing.
Don't these look lovely on my mantle? Just what I needed for my Autumn decor!
One of the smaller baskets I have already put to use as a holder for my various notepads by my desk telephone. I am always reaching for something to write on and keep a lot of paper laying around. It now looks nice and neat!
Thanks Diane!
She says she is going to do another bloggers meet-up in October. I hope this time some of you can make it.
I must apologize. My mom had knee surgery last Monday, so I've been playing nurse all week. I ended up sleeping late. Then the weather killed any desire I had to go out. Please forgive my lack of attendance. =(
ReplyDeleteMy name is mud. I completely FORGOT! I neglected to write it on the calendar because I was trying to move an appointment. I am SO SORRY.
