I love the photo with the pan!

Thank you! That one traumatizes a certain member of our prairie family, though.

Nonsense.

There is an even better one of the pan. You MUST post it, Lisa!!

Ok, here I am with Mr. Edwards jug at the Antiques Market in Columbus, WI. Lorrie thought that I needed a drink, lol. But Mr. Edwards didn't leave me much, lol.

Marilyn!! Too cute!

Classic!

I went to visit Lisa again yesterday, to celebrate her birthday! We had yet again a wonderful time together! We are so fortunate to be able to live this close to actually make these visits happen!

Glad you two could visit. Its special times like these that help get us over the days that are hard . One of the best extras God has given us is friends. Truly a blessing.

Isn't that the truth, Gin.

This past Sunday, several of us from the board had a WONDERFUL time getting together! I wish you all could have joined us! But the next-best thing is to have some pictures....SO........

This picture shows Amy, Rob, and me....and we're cracking up once again at Rob's great sense of humor:




And you'll notice that Amy thought to bring a Little House book to include in our pictures....She commented that it's amazing to think that if Laura Ingalls had never lived, we never would have met! A small woman who lived in an entirely different world than we know, and yet she's still having an impact today!

And here's a shot of Amy, Aaron (my brother), and me....




And then a shot of Rob and me . . . Who would have thought that the Little House board could be the seed for such great friendships??



We were hoping to get a shot of Rob & his cat, Marty, but Marty decided that he wasn't in the mood for company, and he took off until AFTER we left.

Such a wonderful time was had by all! Lisa & Rob are such great people, and Aaron is as sweet and kind as his sister. What a fabulous day!!!

Wow!

And I wish I didn't live 16-or-how-many hours away...

Wow! Great picture!!

I know the joy it is when you meet online Laura friends. I am so glad that you are so close to each other that you can make frequent visits. I always have to plan a flight to visit my buds. But it is always so much fun.
Thanks for sharing the pictures. Looks like you had a wonderful visit.

You guy's are sure lucky to meet eacher!!!

Thanks, everyone! It would be wonderful if all of you were close enough to be able to visit with in person! But getting to know you here on the board continues to be a joy. Thanks for sharing in our fun with us!

Turns out that it's a good thing we went last weekend and not this weekend, as it's officially SNOWING in Rob's neck of the woods right now! (Although Lisa probably would have enjoyed it. ). But it really was perfect weather, and we even went on a hike in the park!

Yup, we dodged a bullet! It sure was a great day.

those are great pictures, Lisa!
it is neat that so many of you have met each other

Just a couple more shots...I found some pictures on my camera - my laptop had been dead the night I got back home again, so I forgot that *I* had pictures, too....

I love Rob's expression in this picture! It captures his humor so well!:



And interestingly . . . just moments later, we noticed that something about Rob's look had changed!:

I should have told you that I suffer from Spontaneous Mustache Syndrome (SMS).

You and Amy look SO pretty here. I look like the guy in silent movies who's always tying women to railroad tracks.

I mustache you why you would do that to helpless young ladies......

I see a pretty young lady, and I just want to whisker away.
