Dancing With Dancing

Sandie of Dancing on a Blade of Grass recently stopped by to say "Hi!" as she passed through Denver on her way back to the U.K. She, her hubby, and her sister-in-law had been in the States for a month and, even though they were tired from all of the traveling, they took the time to come over for dinner a couple of days ago.

What wonderful people!!!

I was going to post a photo of Sandie and me, but I have not overcome my well-honed ability to critique how I look in photos. I'm working on that...That work seems to be an ongoing project.

I guess I could have cut myself out of the photo and just shown you Sandie in all of her beauty!

It's so amazing how connecting through bloggerland and other internet methods creates such familiarity. I swear that, after getting to know Sandie via her blog, I would have recognized her anywhere - like a long lost friend.

Oh, okay. Here we are in black and white, just to prove that I really did get to meet her in real life.

Sandie, it was wonderful to spend some time with you and to meet your husband and sister-in-law. It was also fun to learn about some British terms and to hear about some of your views of the American way of life. Thank you for taking the time to visit! Come back any time!

  1. Carol and Mr CFP ... What wonderful people YOU are ... I can't thank you both enough for such a relaxing delightful evening at a time when we were all thoroughly exhausted. You soothed us, entertained us and fed us.

    I hope that we can meet again. xxx

  2. Carol, both of you look great in that photo. But I too have photophobia, and I don't mean sensitivity to light. I mean absolutely hating how I look in photos. I've met 4 bloggers in person now. Fortunately, none were bearing cameras.

    How lovely that you had time with Sandie. I don't know her blog, but I love the title of it!

  3. Sandie,

    I, too, hope that we can meet again. Until then, I'm glad we have bloggerville where we can connect.

  4. San,

    You, too???

    You gave me an idea: All blogger meet-ups need to be camera-free. People will just have to take our word for it.

    Isn't Sandie's blog name great?

  5. re: photo. Sandie has posted a very BIG color photograph of the two of you on her blog. (In case you've not seen it).

    I'm so glad that you two got to meet. I think it's wonderful when blogging friends have the opportunity to visit one another in the flesh.

    After that, I whipped out my camera too.

  10. And, if I remember correctly, I asked Mr. CFP to take photos of Dancing and me.

    What was I thinking??? I don't like looking at photos of me! ;-)

  12. Love the photo. Great to have a mental image of dancingonablaeofgrass. I so agree that we bloggers get to know one another's "real self." Every blogger meet-up I've experienced has been a real treat.
