Here's my now-traditional (okay I only did it once before, but who's counting?) RevGal meetup Pedi-Pic. I took it on the first day onboard the ship.
I came home to find myself deluged with stuff to do, so I apologize in advance for not posting more details about the event. Suffice to say that the company was excellent and I very much enjoyed meeting everyone that I had not met before. My friend, Mary Marcotte, who led the event did a wonderful job and I think that everyone felt that out theme of "self-care" was certainly carried out on the cruise. If they didn't, you could have fooled me!
One of the most important things that I realized from the meeting was that you really don't know a blogger as well as you think you did until you meet her and spend some "quality time" together. Getting the opportunity to complete the picture I had in my head of many of them was a blessing indeed. There's nothing like spending hours watching the wake of the ship on the aft deck to create and deepen friendships.
Thanks be to God!

Yes, thanks be to God!
ReplyDeleteHow about a contest: Whoever guesses which foot is yours wins a framed copy of the photo!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home. Glad you had a great time.
It really was great! So good to be with you again!!
ReplyDeleteAmen. Some wonderful friendships were launched on that aft decks. I'll raise a Margarita to you any day, QG.
ReplyDeleteuh, it was just the one deck. :)
ReplyDelete-- must proofread before hitting "enter."
I haven't had a margarita tonight, I swear.
I too felt like we have a much fuller picture of our blog friends after sharing time and frivolity together. Blessings - MLR
ReplyDeletemargaritas anytime!! love the pic!
ReplyDeleteMargaritas on a ship! With great women friends!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking this should be a WEEKLY event.
eeerrmmm...I will be needing a list of whose shoes belong to whom. I think I am in need of some of them.
ReplyDeleteI've been getting back my sea legs, however I don't mind the dizzyness because I close my eyes and I am on the aft deck with you all. Miss you.
ReplyDeleteIt is why I purposefully moved from calling folks by their blogger name to their given name. I no longer know them only through that one window.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour writing makes me wish I could have come along, too. Maybe next year, when I have an empty next. I'm so glad you all had such a great time. The picture is cute and a looming tradition.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to meeting more of you. I hope there is another event.
ReplyDeleteAfter two years of saying, "I have to look that word up," I finally googled quotidian. Ahh! It all makes sense. Being with you and all the rest was a daily- quotidian- joy!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that my foot is in that photo. Not so thrilled with the chunky ankle, but oh well!
ReplyDeleteHappy memories and grace abound!
