My original group of blogging friends, who moved from Yahoo360 to Multiply (I met Tammy on Multiply) are such genuine, wonderful people. I know my new friends on Blogger are just a real, and have met a few of you, already - but my Multiply group goes back six years or so. You really do get to know people, over that much time. It has always felt like I knew Tammy, her husband and her three kids. We share so much here! To finally meet in person is just icing on the cake. To get a real hug, in person, always feels so great. It just seals the friendship, in my mind. I am so blessed to have met 14 blogging friends! It is so worth doing and making the effort, whenever possible.
The convention center, where her Tupperware group was meeting, is just beautiful. I had never been there before. Of course, we parked as far away from the hotel lobby entrance as possible (NOT on purpose!), but we did get to see the hotel and meeting rooms that way!
Here is a link to the hotel: Rosen Shingle Creek Resort
Tammy didn't want to eat at any of the restaurants there, since she had been eating there since Wednesday. Joe and I don't know Orlando very well, but we set out and figured we would find somewhere to get a good breakfast. We ran into a Perkins Restaurant, so stopped there. Breakfast was good, and the conversation non-stop. It's a wonder we got any food down! Ha!
After we over-stayed our time in the restaurant, we set out for the airport. We got her there an hour or so before she would have had to be there, but she was meeting a couple of people she met at the convention, who were flying back on the same plane. I'm sure she didn't have too much time to be alone there.
Another great experience, meeting a blogging friend in person!!

Now I have the laundry going....back to my normal Sunday. It has been a good weekend! Thanks for stopping by again, today! Blessings!
I'm so glad you had the chance to meet Tammy and had a good time. I've been able to meet several bloggers in person too and it's always good to see them in person!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good time. I've never met any of the few bloggers I've connected with, but that may change soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm counting on it, Carol!! :)
DeleteThat is a good picture of you and Tammy (well, Joe too at the table). Glad you got to meet her.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a nice meeting. Have a great night!
ReplyDeleteWish I could meet you in real time.
ReplyDeleteThat would be wonderful, Karyn!! Maybe when the snow flies up there, Florida would sound like a good place to visit!?!! :)
DeleteThanks for sharing your photos of Tammy. I've always liked Tupperware stuff. i mean the real Tupperware, because in Spain all plastic containers are called 'tupper', Hope you're having a good Monsay.
ReplyDeleteTerri, how nice to meet another blogging 'sister.' Love the photo of the three of you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice visit. These visits are memories you'll never regret making. What a beautiful hotel.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was perfect and the Hotel looks lovely. How fun to finally meet her. How far are you from Orlando?
ReplyDeleteHow very special for you! I've never met a blogging friend - that would be fun sometime.
