This is what blogging is all about!

Guess who arrived this morning?!  Dawn, DC and Kev from Call Me Grandma Dawn! I have been looking forward to this visit for quite some time!  It was the most perfect day with the sun shining brightly and not freezing cold or raining.

I got a few pictures but forgot to have DC take one of Dawn and me together when he took one with his camera.  I'll have to ask for a copy of that one!  We hung out here for a while, Dad wanted to take the men on a ride through the carriage roads so Dawn and I went along in the.......ahem........poop cart that we use to haul the horse 'dressing' off in.  There wasn't room in the Rhino for us but we are hardy women and we made do with what we had.  :o)

The leaves are on the Rhino are from the church block party that we had on Saturday.  The Hubs used it to chauffeur people from the church to the family center where the party was held.

Last night we got to have dinner together and had a wonderful time.  It was raining cats and dogs so the beautiful view from the restaurant over the lake and all the fall foliage was not to be seen.  :o(  That is one reason I picked that restaurant because of the gorgeous view but maybe they can see it when they drive by today on their way north to Baxter State Park.

Dawn and I were celebrating because since we met last year we have lost a total of 72 pounds between us!!!!  42 for her and 30 for me!!  YAY!!  I still have a ways to go so am still chipping away at it but isn't that amazing?!! That's a whole 4th grader!!!

What a joy to get together and pick up like we live across the street from each other instead of halfway across the country!  This is what blogging is all about, meeting wonderful people and making friendships that will last forever!
