When Diane contacted me on Facebook and said her husband had a meeting near me, I jumped for joy. It's not every day I get to meet one of my blogging buddies. I picked her up at the hotel and recognized her immediately, but my blonde hair threw her off due to the old picture on my blog. We headed for a local diner and discussed blogging over a yummy breakfast, explored the local Christian bookstore, and hung out at my house until Diane's hubby joined us for lunch.
With the age difference, you wouldn't think we'd have so much in common, but we did. From old houses to writing and Swagbucks, the hours flew by too fast. I can't wait to see this lovely couple, who I call my friends, again.
Check out Diane's post on our meeting. Oh - and if any of you write for kids, be sure to let Diane know. :)

Yay, what a fun day you both had! I'm glad you had a great time together. I knew you would:)
What a nice picture. It sounds like you had a wonderful time. It would be great to meet my blogger friends, too. It was cool that Diane didn't just think about doing something, she did it.
I totally envy you, meeting a blogging buddy. I have "met" some great gals who I'd really like to meet!
I'm glad that I met you first and then became buddies. I hear your kind voice and see your gentle smile when I read your words.
Hi Karen -
When are you meeting your blogger friend?

Hi Susan -
That's right! We met at Philly and then connected via our blogs.
I said to Diane we can now hear each other's voices, and she can see my "setting." :)
Blessings,
Susan
