Delightful and Delicious
Those are the two perfect words to describe my day yesterday.
I pulled myself together and headed north to Richmond's place. Oddy was in town and my blogfaddah and his lovely bride were going to be there. I couldn't think of a better way to spend the day.
And man-o-man was I right.
After just getting turned around once - and that was because I had to stop for a soda - I arrived at Casa de Richmond. Well, and there was the whole can't find the house, Richmond had to come out and whistle at me thing, but seriously - for a directionally impaired person I did pretty damned good.
An added bonus, like we needed one, was the opportunity to meet Richmond's parents. What a treat. Richmond doesn't stand a chance - with parents that charming she was bound to turn out as wonderful as she is.
Oddy looked great and, as always had a smile that never stopped. AND she made pie. Very yummy pie. I had two pieces. :-)
TNT and Harvey were there, and it was wonderful to see them again. It had been too long. That will NOT happen again.
Richmond had enough food there to feed an army. And let me tell you, I thought I made good potato soup? Yeah, she puts me to shame - no doubt about it.
So we laughed and talked and talked and laughed. We discussed blogging and politics and people and places. I found out that I am Stephanie Plum personified, well, except 6" taller. We got a call from T1G, and then got to talk with AW. We tried to call Shoe, but she was "unavailable". We sure did miss you guys - you should have been there!!! I had a wonderful surpise call from Redneck where I got to talk to the great Yabu himself. It was just flat out a fantastic way to spend a Saturday.
Thank you Richmond, for opening your home. Thank you Oddy for comin' all the way from PA. Harvey and TNT? Thank you for just flat out bein' you.
Damn - some days you just don't want to end.....

Now if we could just build a teleporter so we could get *everyone* here with no fuss.
Posted by: Richmond at November 5, 2006 09:16 AMThanks for calling... oh that's right you didn't. Well glad it was a good time anyway.

Posted by: oddybobo at November 5, 2006 12:48 PMyesterday was apparently "make cyber love to your blogfamily day" cause i talked to a bunch of my favorite tights.
T1G and I decided it was pretty uncool of ya'll to live blog a meet that you didn't invite any of us to. jus sayin!
and i called oddybobo back, but i had a gaggle of 8 year olds over and i don't know that i said anything coherent. glad ya'll had fun!!
Posted by: shoe at November 5, 2006 03:20 PMI'm so glad you all had such a great time.
But don't worry, I'll still talk to you all even if no one else does.
BTW, your fashion question inspired me to pull together a fashion post. I had saved the pics from the Spring Fashion week showings last month on my PDA so you would be hip to what's coming up but since I was sick I figured I'd do a post so that you all can check out the highlights.
