Flashback Friday is hosted by Camille.  (Click on the badge to visit her blog, which is the home of Flashback Friday.)  Won’t you consider joining in the fun?

Last August four blogger buds came together for our first ever face-to-face.  Our house is about in the center of our geographic spread and so we hosted it.  The idea came from Lin.  Vanilla and Shark rounded out the group.

After a picnic lunch, we had lots of time to talk and explore the grounds beside our secondary road.  The garden received a lot of attention and visitors received some of the bountiful harvest that it produced.

No gathering of friends is complete without pictures.  This group was no exception.  Lin’s hubby, Joe, did the honors.

As Joe was taking the shot, Shark observed, “I’m always the shortest one in the photo.”  Lin gave me an elbow in the ribs.  I looked at her.  She nodded.  I nodded.  Joe took another shot.

Who’s the shortest now, eh Shark?

Class clowns caught in the act.

Perhaps we can do that again some day.  I certainly hope so.  That was fun!
