We were totally blown away by the elegant table Gigi had set. She really is a master chef. Everything was stupendous! She also presented me with her three published books which now has a very special place on my shelf. I can't wait to start reading them.
Gigi made a fabulous salad, chown mein with char siu and cilantro, scrumptious baked salmon, olives and mango sorbet. We talked about anything and everything and the hours sped by quickly. What fun! OK... I'm ready to go have lunch at any other blogger's house now. Let's see, shall we try, Australia or Ireland or India? Hmmm...
Hi Kay!
ReplyDeleteBoy, am I pooped! I'm so glad we got together today. You and Art are quite the storyteller. So entertaining and interesting.
Take care and God bless!
Wow, you got the royal treatment. Good onya for not being blogger shy.
ReplyDeleteOur blogging opens up a whole new world of friends.
But I cry for my Iranian blogger friends right now. Meead is giving hour by hour photos of the protests, and Sarah is pouring out her heart. They need support.

INDIA.....i am waitin......what would you like to eat?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table and wonderful friends! You come on over here Kay and I'll treat your whole family, absolutely. Bring Gigi too!
ReplyDeleteOr no wait, better idea... I'm moving to Hawaii. It'll save you the trans-Pacific-Atlantic drive. LOL
Gigi: You are too wonderful for doing all you did for both of us and we're very grateful. We had a fantabulous time!
ReplyDeleteDina: Royal treatment indeed! And I cry for the Iranians, too. I have visited both blogs and expressed my support and sympathy.
Kavita: Yae! Thank you, expect us at your door someday. ;-)
Susan: I shall be expecting you at my door whenever you get here. But seriously, it's too hot over here! Yuuck! I imagine it'd be better for us to go to the green cool hills of the lephechauns.
I'm so happy that you both found new "real" friends beyond the internet.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about hesitation to meet face to face. We create pictures in our minds of those we know only on the web, and wonder if they are real or just in our imaginations.
So glad you all enjoyed each other's company. I've always thought how much fun it would be to meet another blogging friend.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful time had by all!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that a good time was had by all! If you ever come to Niagara Falls area, Both Rambling Woods and I are within a couple of hours of the falls.
ReplyDeletewhat a fun testimony to making friends over the internet and in the same area. looks like a lovely afternoon
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat experience, Kay. I'm sure Gigi enjoyed meeting you as much as you enjoyed meeting her. The luncheon looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteEverything sounds delicious and the photos are nice as well.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to meet a blogger friend in person. Sounds like a great day for all of you.
ReplyDeleteI love that comment about 'anonymity being a shield', I think it is true to some extent, Kay. Great to hear your meeting went so well.
ReplyDeleteSince you are both on my list of bloggers, this was really, really fun to read! Sounds like a wonderful time was had by all! I met one of my fellow bloggers not to long ago, we had lunch together and it was such fun! Wish I could meet more of you!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Thanks Kay.
ReplyDeleteWell, now I would be nervous about hosting you, after that dinner. I'm not sure I could measure up.
ReplyDeleteGlad it went so well.
What a happy occasion for you both. I love it that you got together. Is there a place either you or Gigi have talked about her books??
ReplyDeleteHow fun and so yummy in every way. If you are ever in Tulsa, lunch it is here.
