a visit

a friend came to visit this weekend

one i hadn't yet met.

kj is a friend to many, who know her

here in blogland.

if you've met

a blogging friend in person,

then you know how familiar your 'new' friend  

feels from the very start.

from the moment we first hugged hello

we chatted, giggled and 'laughed our heads off'

from morning till night.

here are a few photos from our adventures,

dear kj is incomparably kind and generous, delightfully silly and mischievous

(oh wait, that may have been emily!) charming and all around lovely.

chuck and i both enjoyed her here and felt honored

by her company.

 we had fun times ten!
there were visits to stearns wharf in santa barbara, the zoo, the mission.  summerland beach cafe, cafe luna, the corktree cellars. we went to the seal rookery and  beautiful nursery's and garden's, we ate hotdogs at the hotdog cart and rode the kiddie train at the zoo. we dined on enchilada's and lobster macaroni and cheese (not together!). we spent a blissful hour at summerland's sacred spaces (where the gift of this shawl came from). we went to the beach, the marsh, and up the foothills (for the views). and we talked, laughed and talked some more. it was a good good time. isn't blogging wonderful we kept saying?
