You may not recognize Robin (or her husband Byron), but you might recognize her blog, A Fondness For Reading, which I've been following for almost 11 years. I have enjoyed reading Robin's thoughts on the books she's read, as well as her posts about her home, garden and community near Portland, Oregon. What a joy to finally get the opportunity to meet in person! We had a delightful visit and even ventured out to the bluff, in spite of the rain.
My mom is also a faithful follower of Robin's blog, so they enjoyed chatting about books and Robin's mom (who is also a voracious reader), as well.
Thanks so much for taking time out from your birthday vacation, Robin. We're looking forward to visiting you now!
Well this just made my day! How lovely for both of you. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteraidergirl3, it pretty much made my day, too! We took a nice walk out to the bluff (in the drizzly rain) and then sat and chatted for quite some time. It was a lovely morning with Robin and her husband, Byron.
DeleteI saw some pictures on Instagram. How fun! I'm going to check out Robin's blog now.
ReplyDeleteKathy, it was such a great visit! I think you'll really enjoy Robin's blog. I know it's one of my favorites. :)
DeleteI love this! Saw it on Robin's blog too. Told her that we would be in Oregon in early July and said she should come again - you don't mind me inviting her, right? :-)
ReplyDeleteKay, I was actually planning to invite her and Juli (Whimpulsive) sometime when you're in town! Great minds think alike. ;)
DeleteHow awesome! So glad you got to visit.
ReplyDeleteIliana, me too! It was such a great visit! I only wish we had more than just two hours to chat. I may just have to plan to have a blogger retreat somewhere out here in the next few years!
DeleteHow wonderful! Looks like such a great visit :)
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, it was great, but too short! Only two hours, but we plan to meet up again sometime soon!
DeleteAwe, thanks, Les! We loved the visit with the three of you and look forward to more visits in the future! And your bluff is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteRobin, we hope you'll come back for another visit, but until then, we'll see you in McMinville sometime soon! I'll be in touch!
