MEETING A TRUE FRIEND....AND OTHER HAPPENINGS THIS WEEK


 Hold a true friend with
both your hands.

~Nigerian Proverb

Do you know who this beautiful
lady is in the photo?
 It's Karen and I was able to
spend a few hours with her
this week, my first time meeting
a blogging friend in person!
She is just as nice in person as
she is on line and my only regret
is she lives so far away making
it hard for me to visit with her more
often. 
 We had lunch, talked and I know
deep in my heart she is a true friend.
Look at the beautiful beaded bag she
made just for me!
Karen, I had such a lovely time, thank
you and I hope we can get together
again really soon.
 Emerson graduated from kindergarten,
and I am one proud Olie.
I've managed to make it to the
beach just once this week, but
I'm not complaining, it was
beautiful. I spent the day there
all by myself, knitting, reading,
napping, it was great.
This weekend will be cleaning out
a spare room that has gotten a  little
scary,  knitting,  cooking outside,
hanging out in the hammock, catching
a few clouds and enjoying this life!

I hope your weekend a productive one or a
relaxing one if that is what you need.

Love,
Tracey

  2. I just published my post without reading yours first and we have a similar theme :) funny I could only use iphone photos due to no computer. Thank you so much for visiting, I love my gift and I now have warm memories of a beach vacation.

    Emerson and you look adorable together - I hope you make it to the beach more over the weekend!!!

  4. Good morning, Tracey,

    Karen is a blessing, isn't she! (That really isn't a question). I'm so glad that you had opportunity to get together this week! So special!

    Your little guy is so adorable! Loved seeing the pic of the two of you.

    Your weekend plans sound lovely...especially hanging out in the hammock! That's on my list for next week!

  6. Of course I recognise those two beautiful faces...how wonderful to see you two lovely people together. It's never ceases to amaze me how blogs can connect. One of my blogger friends was over from Australia at half term but unfortunately we were away for our anniversary so couldn't meet up but I've just had a lovely email from someone who lives near the new house and spotted images of places that she recognised. So already I know someone close by before I even leave here. How small the world is.
    I hope that you meet up often and have many more amazing times together.
    I hope you catch many clouds.

  17. oh what fun! I got to meet up with Nichole (she blogs at LiveFree) last autumn when she was vacationing with her family just up the road from our place. It was almost surreal at first, because there I was meeting this person that I already felt like I knew pretty well. Such fun!
