I feel like I "know" quite a few of you virtually. Between comments and email exchanges I "talk" to many of you several times a week. But it's an even greater pleasure when I get to meet some of you in person, and that happened on Saturday.
After they drove across the state of PA from Pittsburgh, we (Dee, Vera, and I) met up with Sarah and her daughter Mo in person. Of course, they are even lovelier than you might have imagined. We all had beverages, chatted, knit, and Mo crocheted. She's wearing a sweater that she crocheted and Sarah has on her first Rift tee.
I truly appreciate Sarah and Mo taking time out of the TwinSet Retreat that they were attending to meet up with our little group of knitters in the eastern PA/NJ area. Now John can't tease me about my "make-believe friends" because of all the knitters I've been lucky enough to meet in person.
If anyone else is ever in the area, please let me know! We can meet at the Three Birds coffee house and be watched over by a friendly caribou.
Thanks again to Sarah and Mo; it was a lovely way to spend Saturday morning with all five of us in person!
What an enjoyable and fun morning it was!! Glad we could all meet up in person!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it worked out for all of us! That was a lovely morning (and, honestly, probably the best meal we had all weekend!), and it was so wonderful to finally get to meet you in real life. I hope we get to do it again!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun (and I am having all kinds of envy!) Our blogging community is the best... ever! I bet Mr. Caribou has a tale or two to tell! XO
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that? I've only met a few of my bloggy friends in person and it's such a surreal experience.
ReplyDeleteI first met Dee and Vera in person, and that was wonderful to put faces with names. It was great to meet Sarah and her daughter especially since they are from four hours away.
