I met a blogging friend yesterday!!!!

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to meet up with a talented blogging friend, Cecelia. You can read her blog by clicking HERE. She has a sister who lives in my area and she mentioned awhile back that she and her hubby would be in the area this summer. Well.....last week Cecelia emailed me and said this was the week she'd be up here from West Virginia!!! We set aside today to have lunch together. Her sister, Sarah, joined us. My quilting pal, Kathy, and I were working on a project together this morning, so Kathy ate lunch with us, too. We went to a lovely place in Georgetown, Delaware, called The Brick Hotel.....a very old building that has been renovated and is now a restaurant as well as a small hotel. I'd not eaten there before, but Cecelia's sister suggested it and it was a great choice! The waiter was very attentive and the meal was wonderful. The company was exceptional. The fact that we had not only quilting in common (her sister quilts, too) but we are also all retired educators, made for no shortage of fun conversation...shared stories about students and their sometimes wacky parents, etc. Before we knew it, nearly two hours flew by and it was time to go our separate ways. I hope we get to spend time together again in the future! Here are some photos we took.

First is a table shot taken by our terrific waiter (wish I had gotten his name...maybe Cecelia recalls it and can comment here on that). Left to right in the photo: Kathy, Sarah, Me, Cecelia
See this purse Cecelia is carrying? I wish I'd gotten a better photo of it as it was a beautiful purse....very well-made by her sister, Sarah. (Sarah could teach the folks at Vera Bradley a few tricks...that's how well this purse was made....really!!! I was hoping Sarah made them to sell as I've have ordered one on the spot from her.)This last photo is a close-up of Cecelia (on the left) and me on the porch outside. (Of course, neither of us likes our pictures being taken...but we know our blog followers "demand" this of us.....right, Tonya??? She made us PROMISE to take pictures and post them. LOL) The porch is filled with rocking chairs and looks out onto what is called "The Circle"......a nicely landscaped area that is the hub of the county seat here in Sussex County, Delaware......a very nice atmosphere all around.....a perfect spot to meet a fellow blogger! Thanks, Cecelia and Sarah, for a very nice afternoon!
