Thursdays are fun

Last Thursday, I met for the first time, Phyllis, a blogger sister also from Whidbey Island. Today I met her sister Mary Lou, also a blogger from Whidbey Island, two of the most fun, and nicest people you could ever wish to meet.

We had a very nice lunch and chatted about this and that, and got know a little more about each other. We hope getting together for lunch, will be a regular thing for the three of us.

We meet at long last

What a perfectly wonderful day I have had. It started out at the Weight Watcher's meeting where I weighed in and much to my delight I lost 2.8lb Everyone give a big *Way to go girl*

Next on to Gordon's restaurant where I met Phyllis, (a blogger sister) for the first time. I was hoping Phyllis' sister, Mary Lou (also a blogger sister) was also going to be joining us for lunch but she did not make it. Phyllis did call her from the restaurant letting her know what she was missing and I did get to say *naaa nana na na*

Phyllis is a delight. She has a wonderful sense of humor and we giggled and talked, giggled some more and polished off a yuppie lunch. The term yuppie was used by Phyllis in her post about our lunch together, I stole it because it was the perfect word to describe the food, which was very good. Sure hope I did not blow all the good work I did in losing that weight this last week.

We asked the woman who was our waitress if she would take a couple of pictures for us. You need to go HERE to see the one she took of the two of us and the rather stern expression on my face. I was concentrating,( instead of smiling) on watching the waitress, to see if she knew how to use the camera.
Why should I doubt her capabilities you ask. Well first of all, the waitress brought us someone elses food, then later, someone elses bill, she also spilled food or drink on a customer. (phyllis and I were trying very hard to keep our giggles under control) so you can see why I was wondering about her capabilities in using a camera. I should not have doubted her, she did a fine job of taking our pictures.

After lunch I headed up to Oak harbor for a little shopping, then planned on stopping by Mary Lou's place on the way home. So much for that plan, I spent more time shopping than intended and I ran out of daylight so decided I had better go home before Mr.C sent out a search party for me.
A great fun filled day.

I have the best of friends

My dear friend Hostagirl and her husband JW sent me this beautiful arrangement.
Absolutely gorgeous flowers and a very pretty vase.

Best Friends

I have just spent the most wonderful day with my dearest friend Hostagirl and her husband JW. It had been two years since we have seen each other so we had a lot to catch up on.

Hostagirl and JW arrived at Castle Completely early this morning, their first visit to our home. After Mr.C and I gave them the grand tour, we drove over to The Clover Patch for lunch then on into Langley to look for a home Hostagirl had spent some happy times at as a child.
We found the home Hostagirl remembered, and the owner was kind enough to let her go inside and look around, so of course we all tagged along. Hostagirl was so delighted to see that there were still some of the original features in the home just as she remembered and took several pictures.

After we left the house we all went to the spa in Langley, where I work, which is situated in a lovely setting down by the water and checked out where I look at the view all day, umm! make that, work all day.

Langley is a very small, touristy kind of one main street town, with the usual kind of tourist shopping. We wandered the main street, poked into a couple of the stores, then piled back into the car and drove to the marina where we strolled the dock looking at all the lovely boats and pointing out the one we will buy when we win the lotto.

By now it was almost time for my friend and her husband to meet with some more friends before heading back to Cashmere in eastern Washinton, so after a quick soda at Holmes Harbor Rod & Gun Club, JW drove us back to Castle Completely we said our goodbyes.

I almost forgot, Hostagirl and JW are moving to Darby Montana, in the near future so Hostagirl brought me a bunch of wonderful hostas from her garden to plant in my new fern/hosta garden. Thank you dear friend I will take very good care of them and send pictures as the grow.
