New Friends

I met some new friends today.  That doesn't happen very often.

But in Blogger land friends are made without ever having a face-to-face meeting.  When the chance presents itself to meet those 'friends' it's hard to resist the opportunity.

I learned awhile ago that one of my blogger friends lives in Surprise, AZ, and another one lives in Peoria.  Today we got together and I met Jo and Holly, who had already met one another several months ago.

It was scary.  I don't make friends easily and tend to hold back when I meet new people.  But today's meet went very well - Jo and Holly are fun and funny  and our lunch get-together lasted for three hours.

Our first stop was Paradise Bakery Cafe

 Then we went on a hunt for 4th of July paraphernalia. There was none at Pier 1 so we went over to Michaels where the girls found some stuff but not exactly what they wanted.

 Then Holly found some red, white and blue streamer headbands and we all ended up buying one.

 So we all put them on and Holly insisted that we wear them through Target.  We got lots of stares but the little kids we passed liked them.

It was a good time.  Thanks, ladies, for the fun outing.  We'll have to do it again next time.
