Lunch with a Blogmate!
I met Juli, (also known as SuziQ of Whimpulsive) online over 10 years ago when we were both fairly new to blogging. Whenever either she or I would post pictures of our travels down the Oregon coast, particularly to The Chowder Bowl in Nye Beach, we would tell each other that someday we would have to meet there for lunch. Well, it wasn't the Chowder Bowl, but we finally got together in Nye Beach at The Taphouse. And do you know what? It didn't feel at all strange meeting a longtime blogmate. Surprisingly, we didn't talk about books, but rather about travel, retirement, and life in Oregon. And our husbands enjoyed getting to know each other, as well. Now that Rod & I are living on the coast, we hope to see Juli and Jeb again sometime soon, especially if there's good beer involved!
Sadly, we didn't get a photo with Rod. Next time!

This is the BEST!!
ReplyDeleteJuli, we had such a good time. Looking forward to the next time!
DeleteIsn't it funny how well you get to know people on line? Your lunch looks and sounds so fun!! I'm glad y'all get to meat in person.
ReplyDeleteKathy, it was really a wonderful visit and one we hope to do again.
DeleteWhat a happy post...such a treat to meet on-line friends!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, here's hoping we get down to Sanibel with our trailer so we can meet you and your hubby!
DeleteGreat pictures! So glad you guys got together. And I'm excited that I have two friends to post shots of Oregon. :-)
ReplyDeleteKay, we were glad to finally do it, too! Hope we get to meet up with you and your hubby when we're traveling through Texas or when you're out here.
DeleteHooray! What fun!
ReplyDeleteJoy, it was a great day!
DeleteLove the pics and how wonderful that you guys finally got to meet.
ReplyDeleteIliana, thanks so much. It was a great afternoon with Julie & Jeb!
DeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteRaidergirl3, thanks! What surprises me the most is that we really didn't talk about books. Just got to know each other a bit more than through our blogs.
DeleteI guess Rod took the photos!
ReplyDeleteHappy you could meet up with a longtime blogging friend, I hope to do that one day!
Looks gorgeous where you live, glad you are both happy there.
Kay G, yes Rod took the photos. We asked our waitress, but she got distracted and forgot to. We love our new home on the coast and are very happy enjoying retired life.
DeleteWhat fun to get to meet each other, especially since it turns out you'll enjoy getting together and the spouses enjoyed the meet up, too.
ReplyDeleteLisa, it was a wonderful visit and one we hope to repeat many more times!
DeleteThat is so cool you got to meet! Looks like a great time. :)
ReplyDeleteKailana, it was great! We're already looking forward to our next opportunity to get together again.
DeleteOh, how cool! I'm just catching up and didn't realize you'd met Juli! Love the photos!
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time, Nancy! The guys enjoyed themselves, too.
