Look who we got to spend the day with yesterday??!
Meet Will & Jeff!
It's strange to finally meet people you've know online for years, although that feeling doesn't linger long. It's hard to stay feeling like strangers for very long with people that know so much about you...especially nice folk like these two! Here all the way from Pennsylvania! Lucky us : )
It was the best day - the weather was amazing, much good food was eaten throughout the day, visits were made to Churchmouse and The Artful Ewe.
We were incredibly lucky to be able to celebrate such a huge step in gay equality with them as well. There was much horn honking in our travels as we passed people carrying banners and signs in celebration.
I was lax taking photos - I haven't been as attached to my camera lately and have been enjoying moments more in front of the lens rather than behind it. Will, on the other hand, took tons of photos and as soon as he gets a blog post up, I will link you guys so you can see more of our day.
This was a good way to come back to blogging!! I'm inspired to pick up some of my languishing projects and maybe finish a thing or two as well.
So there you go - the first of many exciting posts in the upcoming days. This was definitely a good one, don't you think!?
Happy Weekend - Melissa
(I almost forgot - Jeff hand spun and then wove a scarf from hand dyed fiber...just for me! It's amazing and I did NOT get a picture of it but I will - I can't wait to show you!!! I am lucky!)
OMG, worlds colliding! This is so awesome and unexpected, it hardly seems real. Also, what a PERFECT day to get to meet old friends for the first time.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a fun time - I wish they could have stayed longer...the day flew by!!
