Well that little song has a new spin on it tonight. I have been rolling around this blog land. Unlike rolling around in the hay. Hay! That is a totally different story ALL together! This blog is 'G' rated. *giggles* In my rolling, I've met many wonderful creative inspiring women. Then yesterday, I recognized a local spot in a photo on a new blogging friends spot. I shot off an email. A lot less dangerous than shooting off a rifle. But us women round these parts know how to do that too!
Tonight I met a fellow blogger, a newly transplanted gal right here in my very own small part of the world. Olive Rue ! Low and behold she is a Gawga Southern girl too! And she is married to a friend of a friend. We know people! Like in common. I even know people from her home town in North Georgia.
Not only do we know people in common, we have a lot of things in common. Like shhhhh being addicted to blogging! and thrifty finds. Antiques. Making other peoples trash into treasures. She's a real bonifide photographer. I just like taking
photos. She is sweet and adorable. Real.Instantly we've decided we would get along just fine. Just pass me a glass of sweet tea!
Fiddle De De! We both love Gone With the Wind too! Just happens to be my favorite movie of all time. I talked the poor gal's ears off. I do declare she was toting them out in her purse as she left! Have you ever tried to squeeze 39 plus a few years of living into two hours of conversation? Whew!
It was SO very nice meeting Miss Olive Rue! Rumor has it that I may just get out of working my day job on Monday and join up with a bunch of other Georgia blogging ladies for a luncheon in the big city. I am so exciting about expanding my small world into a larger beautiful bouquet of shiny inspiring Georgia blossoms!
Thanks for all the sweet comments on my post from yesterday. I can't wait to see your crafty thrifty cloche jars! Ya'll come back now ya hear? And let me know when you post photos so I can have a looksie and leave some blogging comment love too.
Ahhh, you are so sweet, Sherri! What a nice blurp! I was rolling on the part about the real bonifide photographer, and the rifle lol! No, you didn't talk my ears off. I hated to leave. Two hours flew by, but we covered a lot of ground.
ReplyDeleteIt was sooo nice to meet you and I'm still tripping on what a small world it is. It really is! Anyway, hubby knew you when I mentioned Jane. He remembered.
I hope you get Monday off. I'm bringing the big bonifide camera! :-) So we'll get lots of shots to share with the bloggers.
Hi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting my blog. It is GREAT to meet another Southern blogger.
Your blog banner and background are so sweet!
I live in Gray, GA. (1/2 hour from Macon) I have only been here for 2 years but I am never leaving!! I love the warm weather.
I will be adding your blog to my list of favorites and will be back soon!

It's always so exciting to meet a kindred spirit like that! Especially one who has blogging ties!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to meet a fellow blogger. I am always amazed at what a small world it is!
ReplyDeleteHow nice, for both of you, to have now met in "real" life too. It sounds like you had such a nice visit. I too have met up with a blogging friend, in fact I've met 2. They have become very dear friends. As scary as it can be, more people should step out of their comfort zones and do the same. They won't regret it.
ReplyDeleteHello Sherri, I stopped over to see your pink and instead I was rewarded with some great text and I had fun reading it. So nice to get together with a blogging friend. I have seen Olive Rue's name on some of my blogs I visit. I live about 30 minutes from Clayton GA in the W. Carolina mountains. Nice to meet you. I'll be back! smile.
ReplyDeleteHugs...Jeanne
