Gigi's Blogger Bash


Gigi-Hawaii threw a glorious Blogger party for us today and we had a wonderful time. I knew from her blog what an amazing cook she is and she showed us again what a fabulous host and hostess she and David are.

Having been to Gigi and David's place before we knew what an interesting, gracious and beautiful couple they were. I loved meeting Cloudia for the first time. Gosh! She is just as spiritual, kind and warm a person as she is on-line. Oops! You can only see her back here.

It was an interesting experience because all I knew everybody had in common was that we all blogged. The only blogger I actually shared comment conversations with was Cloudia and of course, Gigi. Quilly and Amoeba had car trouble and and to our disappointment could not make it to the party. I'd met Quilly on-line also and was looking forward to meeting her.


As you can see, Gigi did it again! Gorgeous place settings with delicious epicurean delights. Every bite was ono! (Hawaiian for delicious)


I have no idea how Gigi knew that Ted's chocolate pie is my favorite Hawaiian pie. This is Art's plate. He also had the passion fruit chiffon cake which everybody loved. I always reserve whatever room I have in my tummy for chocolate.


Thank you for this wonderful get together, Gigi! This was certainly a party to remember with fondness and delight.

  7. Aloha, Kay! Mahalo for coming to my party and for helping me, too. Much appreciated.

    This is the kind of party I love -- the relaxing vibes, good food, and interesting conversation.

    Sorry Quilly and Amoeba couldn't make it. They were sorely missed.

  8. I so wish we were there! I left a lengthy comment at Gigi's telling our pitiful story and I will likely blog about it tomorrow afternoon. I hope there is a next time and that my car behaves in a much better manner!

  9. It's so wonderful to have bloggers gathering. I guess meeting them in person is another kind of experience than commenting/chatting online, right?

    Oh I love those party food on the table!

  13. What a wonderful party you all had. How special it must be to actually meet your blogger friends in person. I agree with Lin, I would come to Hawaii for a party! And the desserts looked sooo good. I am hungry now.

  14. What a beautiful dinner and it looks like a wonderful bunch of people there too. Lucky you! I love Gigi's windows full of light back there; every Hawaiian photo seems so sunshiny I just want to get on a plane. Maybe someday!

  15. SO nice meeting you and Art in person! Remember I felt like I already met you? You are both as nice in real life as on the web :]

    Plus, I love that you used the one nice picture of me that doesn't emphasise my little pot belly LOL!

    So glad we all met.....we must do it again in the REAL world.

    Thanks for being such a bloggee gal pal


    Aloha, Friend!
