Can you guess who stopped by my humble abode today for a visit? It was Lady, and she brought her human, GYPSY, with her! Both Emma and I were thrilled. Marty and I have been reading each others blogs and corresponding for a couple of years now. It’s always so nice to meet other bloggers in person, and I was especially excited about meeting these two in person. The weather even cooperated with much lower humidity today so we could enjoy our time together outside.
Gypsy began her cross country journey from New York to California a couple of days ago, and I am very pleased that she took the time to detour a bit for our visit. Talk about a chin wag! Oh my, we did talk! Both being solo ladies gives us a lot in common. As her blogger name implies, she has a true love of travel. I was also impressed with Lady. The name fits her as well. She was so laid back while Emma was going berserk and wanting to play.
I had made a good sized bowl of macaroni/chicken salad for our lunch that we were able to enjoy out at the picnic table. It’s another one of those dishes that’s hard to make for one. Gypsy understood that, and made sure she helped me out so I wouldn’t have so many leftovers.
Rest assured, among our topics of discussion we spoke at length about quite a few of you others in the RV blogging community. Were your ears burning today? It’s kind of like talking about your neighbors in a small town. Some people might say we were gossiping, but not me; oh no; certainly not…
I was just interrupted by a phone call from Brown & Brown RV in Bourbonnais, IL. After waiting two months, it seems all the parts are in to get the repairs done on the motorhome. Yahoo! By this time next week, I’ll have a working awning and a new cargo door on the rig. I guess I’d better get busy and call Dean, the campground owner, so he can get the new electrical wires buried before I pull out on Monday to go get repaired. Right now, the cables run on top of the ground just behind the rig. What a good news day!
Thanks for stopping by… talk to you later, Judy
Glad to hear you will finally getting the repairs you've been waiting for.
ReplyDeleteI really want to thank you for a very enjoyable visit. The lunch was superb and just the kind of lunch I love, and the company couldn't be beat!
How great to meet Gypsy and Lady....You two lone traveling ladies are my heroes... Glad to hear yo got together...I look forward to hooking up with any and all the blogger family someday....Good news about the long awaited "fix"!!
ReplyDeleteHey, Judy and Gypsy...On my trip west last year, I stopped at a little campground in Hot Springs, Arkansas, where there were FOUR of solo women! Two class Cs, a 5th wheeler, and my trailer. I got to know one of the ladies who hailed from Casper WY (we became instant, intimate friends when I had trouble with my black tank and she was next door). I stopped to see her on the way home from the west coast, and we camped together in Nebraska. I've been hoping to see her come east ever since. One day, maybe.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. So glad you guys got to meet up. Hoping Gypsy might find her way near our driveway when she gets to MT.
ReplyDeleteGlad you and Gypsy had the opportunity to visit and lunch together. It's gotta feel good to share with someone like you who is a solo woman fulltimer.
ReplyDeleteTake care and luck with the repairs.
Glad you had a good visit with Gypsy and you get the repairs done. That is a good day.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Lady and Emma got along really well as did their Humans. I'm looking forward to being out there soon and hope to meet up you all. I hope that all the repairs taken care of quickly and successfully.
ReplyDeletehas there ever been a blogger meet and greet that hasn't gone well..we are all 'cut from the same cloth'!..what a great opportunity to meet Gypsy and Lady!!!..
ReplyDeletea perfect day for a ladies lunch!!
I'm glad that you and Gypsy were able to spend some time together.
ReplyDeleteLevonne and I gossip a bit about other blogger when we get together. It is not "mean" talk, just comparing thoughts on what some of the others are doing.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had an extra special nice day! Glad to hear it. Isn't it funny how well you can get to know someone through cyberspace? Pretty neat. Lady is sure a beautiful dog.
ReplyDeleteHow nice for her to stop by and visit. I also admire you two solo ladies. I'm impressed! I'd never find my way because I'm severely "directionally Challenged."
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the parts finally arrived. Hopefully the repairs will go smoothly and quickly.
How fun for you to get to meet yet another blogger traveler... Looks like you ladies had a lot of fun! Glad to hear they'll finally get your work done on the rig!
ReplyDeleteHave fun & Travel safe
Donna
I remember first coming across Gypsy's blog about 3 years ago & we have commented back & forth ever since plus some emails. Great that you two got to meet each other & got to compare notes. Yes, my ears were ringing.......:))
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful it is to be caught up on your adventures. I'm sitting outside enjoying our lovely weather and getting caught up on the blogs I follow. I hope to meet bloggers I follow once I get on the road like you were able to do with Gypsy.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to hook-up with Gypsy and share your great sounding lunch!!!
ReplyDeleteI see the doggers shared the universal canine hello... there's a joke I once heard about that! Better left unblogged, I suppose!
