You Are Invited....Blog Meet at Longwood Gardens

Edited: A California Blogger may be joining us.
A date will be chosen soon.
I'll let you know as soon as I know....
I think a Saturday will work best for the most people.

If you have read here much
you know that our family is quite taken
with the beauty to be found
in Kennett Square, PA.

It is the ideal place to meet
as walking and talking are so
low key and easy.

A small group of us did this last
year and vowed then to do it again.
JD, of the Ribbon Challenged Blog,
is reminding me that it is time to
get it on the schedule.

This was our group last year.



Bloggers attending were Mrs. Rabe of Creekside Cottage,
My girl, Chelsea, of It's About Friends,
I am behind her,
Jill of Ribbon Challenged
and Karen of Nittany Inspirations.

Jill's husband, Jim, and my husband,Warren, were there
and enjoyed the day as well.
They even had their
own table at lunch.


These were some of the sights we saw
in the Spring of last year.











This year's feature is all about Fragrance.
Everything has been planted with thought to
how the fragrances blend.

To find more about Longwood Gardens and
ticket pricing you can see their website
here....

All Bloggers are invited.

You can email me at beckypfa(at)yahoo(dot)com.
Please let me know what days of the week are
best for you....

I'll be anxiously waiting for your responses.

Now I am off to my kitchen to
make nearly fifty candles.

Hugs!

Outdoor Blogger Meet

An Outdoor Wednesday Post hosted
by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer.
Thank You, Susan!!
I do hope you'll stop by her blog
and see more great links having to
with anything outdoors.


I post so many photos from Longwood
Gardens that I should be on staff.
Some fellow bloggers had commented
that they would love to visit the
Gardens but hadn't been there in years.

I talked to Mrs. Rabe and Kelly about
organizing a meet.

They were in favor...and so it began.

Sadly, when the time drew closer Kelly
was unable to join us but now she can
...in a virtual way.

Others of you were with us in spirit,
which might have been nice for you
given the weather.



This was the sight that welcomed us.
We were driving through the clouds...
with a mist that was constant.

We wondered briefly how we might
recognize each other but...

It turned out to be no problem
since I have posted recent pictures of
Chelsea and Warren on my blog.

JD, Jim and Karen found us.

Mrs. Rabe, Lindsay, Emily, Rachel
and Kyle soon joined us and we were off!

Jim and Karen with their cameras at the ready...


We talked and laughed our way
through all of this beauty...




































The five bloggers present tried to pose
but it was so wet and we were so busy
getting to know each other that I don't
think we have one photo of all of us where
no one is talking.
Here you see
Mrs Rabe from Creekside Cottage.
My daughter Chelsea who writes Its About Friends.
I am in PINK.
JD from Ribbon Challenged.
Karen from Nittany Inspirations.



The guys complained at us just a bit
as they attempted to get a decent photo.
Sorry men!
Not going to happen!




Mrs. Rabe had to leave first.
This made Chelsea sad since
the girls are all such
dear friends.
But the idea of lunch
cheered her up.

It was at lunch that
Karen and I discovered that she
knows my brother and his wife.
She was at their wedding.
Small world!!!



It was delightful to meet these
wonderful people.
We are beginning talks about
another "meet" next year.

Hope that works out!

Thanks for checking out the
fun we enjoyed.
