Yesterday was one of the nicest days I've had in a long time.
And quite welcome after a less than stellar (read: lousy) weekend but that's another blog and the results aren't in yet.
Miss Ruby and I put our worries on hold and headed west. She seemed ready and eager -- despite a bit of rain -- to get out and about to Wooster,
Ohio a lovely farming community and home to Rubbermaid and the College of Wooster, an excellent liberal arts institution.
Our intent in our visit was nothing to do with any of of the above. Our mission was to meet my good friend, as well as one of my favorite commenters here, Gene from Bellevue, OH for lunch! I also got to meet her nice husband and they presented me with a dozen organic, lo-cholesterol, healthy eggs laid by their hens. Great, huh? Her nice hubby headed down to Charm, OH (where I hope to take y'all sometime this summer) and Gene and I sat down, ordered lunch at an the excellent restaurant, and talked like we'd known each other for decades. Time just flew by as we talked and talked over our excellent meal. Y'all can holler at me because I completely forgot that I had my camera with me! (blush)
We will see each other again next month when I head to Toledo as Bellevue -- a very pretty little town --- is on my way. Hopefully, I'll remember to take photos!!!!
Y'all gotta know I'm going to be eating some serious omelets this week courtesy of their kindness. And I truly look forward to seeing Gene again -- she is really a terrific and interesting person. Meeting her was just what I needed to chase (what Hemingway called) the Black Dog from my doorstep and I feel very blessed that I met her and can count her as a friend as I do all y'all who I visit and who visit me.
Happy Blogging!!!!!!
Kay
I hope that you have many more happy days!
ReplyDeleteKay, you make me blush with such high praise.
ReplyDeleteIf lunch is a great way to shoo the Black Dog from your doorstep we will have to repeat the operation next month.
That sounds great, like a very good way to spend a day. Meeting new/old friends is always a treat.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time, glad you had a fantastic day :)
ReplyDeleteSplendid, Kay. Nothing in the world tops a good time with a good friend. May you and Gene have many more!
ReplyDeleteI once had a large Black Dog come up to me at a friend's house and plant his giant foot atop mine, making sure I didn't go anywhere until I had scratched his ears for a bit. But that was a very nice Black Dog, especially compared to the one you're talking about. Glad you managed to shoo that one.
Kay--Let's each go out and get a White Dog? Glad you had such a super day. One of those really helps when it comes along.

It's really nice to meet blogging friends in person. It's amazing that we can relate like we have known each other all our lives.
ReplyDelete25Bar: Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGene: You deserve it!!!! And yeah, we will when I head up your way.
Rain: It was indeed!!!
LTTS: It's always a good day if you meet a new friend!
Steve: Sounds like a black version of D.O.G. Hemingway's Black Dog eventually killed him.
CopCar: Good idea!!!
Darlene: Yes!!!! And I hope you get to see our mutual friend while she's in AZ!!!!
Oh, friends like that are truly to be cherished. :)
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you need some great egg recipes. Fresh laid is a real luxury! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a nice day, Kay. It's about time. Right?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like fun. I've been to Charm, Ohio! I can't wait for you to take us there!
ReplyDeleteOh Yae! I'm so glad you had a good time with Gene and her husband. Wow! They have hens that lay their own eggs... organic, low cholesterol? That's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteMaggie: Indeed they are!!! Gene is a doll!!!
ReplyDeleteAlice: Omelets and Eggs Benedict are plenty good for me!!!!
