I can not remember what life was like without blogging and I want to THANK all of you for your Friendship!! It means so much to me!
Speaking of Friendship...........
Joe and I had a little informal get together of our dearest friends yesterday.
These are the people who are so important to us and we wanted to celebrate Friendship and some personal accomplishments with them!
Standing is my dear friend Anne Marie and her husband Tony.
We met at Hockey games and found out that Anne Marie and I have so much in common.... a love of Victorian style and we are both nurses. Ann Marie is an accomplished baker and on weekends, has many orders for her cakes and other desserts!
Seated at the table are Rose Marie and her husband Joe ( unfortunately I only got his back in the photo)
I met Rose Marie and Joe in Belvidere , N. J. at the town's Victorian Days Celebration. Rose Marie is Victorian Rose, a crafter of beautiful Victorian things for over 20+ years and her hats are to die for! I found out that they only lived about 10 minutes from me. Rose Marie has battled Breast Cancer for over 25 years and recently had her hip radiated and received chemo before Christmas for spots in her liver. She is an inspiration to all of us!
And John Grant and Lisa Lewis, aka Victoriana Lady!
Lisa is currently experiencing much acclaim and exposure because of her Victorian programs and knowledge of the Victorian Era. She has just signed a book deal and just filmed a segment for the Discovery Science Channel's show Oddities.
John Grant 's book "Final Thoughts" will be out at the end of this year and is an accomplished photographer. They met on the internet, realized that they had so much in common . Formed The Passion Projects, their company that is involved in so many things including managing Themed Tea's at the Frederick Stegmaier Mansion and also discovered that they are soul mates!!
Soon I will be helping Lisa start her own blog so please stay tuned!!
We ordered pizza, had cake and apple pie for desert and just spent a nice relaxing afternoon with good friends!!
We are all members of The Victorian Friendship Society of Northeastern Pa.
Joe and I are so blessed to have these wonderful friends in our lives!
And we woke up to this!!!
After a high temp. of 60 on Friday and melting of almost all of the snow and ice that we had, here we go again!
It was supposed to be rain and sleet mixed in but colder temps. prevailed and 6-8 inches is predicted until mid morning!
Joe is very glad that it is a holiday for mail carriers today!
I may not be around Blogland too much in the coming weeks. I will be taking Valentine's Day Decorations down, decorating for Easter and in two weeks, Joe and I will be redoing our Kitchen..... Painting, putting a chair rail up, a new light fixture and new border! I am still keeping my Red color scheme and my new border is scalloped with a red background and yellow rose with green leaves! I have had it for 2 years!!
Again, Congrats to the winners!!

Well, "my distant cousin" (ha! ha!), I'm sorry this comes late, but I do want to wish you a very Happy Blogiversary!
