I met Shelley (left) and Betsy (right) yesterday. And George and Gregg, but they aren't in the pictures. They were behind the cameras. Shelley is looking at one of the other cameras. George and Greg were snapping away, we didn't know which direction to look. They kept us busy for a short time with the cameras, then it was our turn.
Once Shelley, Betsy and I started talking we didn't hush. Took one good breath about 3 hours into the visit. And we all laughed at the 1 second of silence. All you bloggers must have had HOT ears mid day on Friday, because none of you were left out of the conversation. Greg and George were so sweet not to get impatient with us 3 girls.
It was a blast, it was as George said, "Meeting Old Friends For The First Time". That was exactly what it was. When I left it was like when I meet an old friend for lunch, and I think of the things I wanted to say, but forgot. I think we could have met for a early breakfast and still been talking at a late supper, and still not run out of something to say.
It was great and I would recommend trying to meet some of your best blogging buddies. Would love to meet more of you, remember I am just one exit away from the Gatlinburg/Sevierville exit off I-40. The exit to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, so if you are ever in the area please let me know.
Jen, I received your hug from Shelley!

I had a friend that use to "talk like a bell clapper on a gooses a$$" ha! She use to always say that, not me, ha!
Glad you got your hug; your a good gal. ;)
Leedra, I miss 'us' already... I wasn't finished talking, were you????? ha ha.. It was truly wonderful. I recommend it to all bloggers who haven't officially met yet.

Betsy
Sounds like fun indeed!
I loved getting to meet one of my blogger friends and I'm looking forward to repeating that experience with others!
Looks like you all had a great time!
Actually the conversation of you girls was quite interesting. I'm glad I was included and I suspect Greg is glad as well.
Leedra - I definitely wasn't done talking! Ha,ha!! I hope to visit you ladies again - I had so much fun!!!
I didn't read about Shelly going to meed you guys until just now!!! I was just talking to my husband last night about how well we all get to know each other and it would be like meeting old friends! Wow I bet that was a very good time. Sorry I missed it! What fun!
oh how fun..I think this blogging makes for a smaller world..and its awesome to meet people with such similar interests!
I just this past weekend met up with 18 other bird/nature bloggers in MA..had a great time...you can see pics on my blog..
Oh..maybe just maybe we can do near you sometime...would be fun!
You girls and guys had a blast and we all envy you getting to meet! We assume you only had good things to say about us, so our ears aren't burning too badly :-)
Hi Leedra,
I haven't been here since I got back from my daughter's. It's nice to 'meet' you. Putting a face with the name is awesome. Sure looks like you had a great time.
I've scrolled down quite far and found your Grandbaby.
My Granddaughter beat him into the world by just a few days. She was born on April 29th at 7lbs.9oz. and not quite 20 inches.
I hope to be visiting more regularly now.
How nice that y'all got to meet. Looks like a great time was had!
That sounded like so much fun! What a treat for all of you.
Leedra: Great that you got to visit with some friends from the blogging world.
Looks like you are having a ball. Sounds like you all had a great time.
