Me with Tonja at our new Tommy Bahama CafeDid I get to meet and have lunch with Tonja at Gatherings? Yes
Did I mispronounce her name? Yes (It's pronounced just like it's spelled - Ton ja, not like Tonya)
Did I say it wrong more than once? Yes
Is she as sweet and cute and funny as she seems on her blog? Absolutely yes! Tonja is so easy to talk to and has the kindest, sweetest spirt and she is "as cute as a button"!
Did we really have a two hour lunch? Yes and it wasn't enough
With no chocolate involved? Yes (sad, but true)
Was it fun? Very much so!
Would I do it again? Yes...again and again
Did we talk about all you other bloggers? Yes, in a good way :-)
Did we both show up in our flip-flops? Yes, of course!
I feel very blessed to have now met 3 of my fellow blog friends so far, Tonja, Tracey and Rhoda. These girls are exactly as I imagined they would be. Exactly. Which has been wonderful. It's exciting and fun and yes a little scary, but oh how I've loved it.
This blogging world which was so scary in the beginning, has become such a joy to me. I've met some really wonderful friends and I want to says thanks to all of you for your friendship.

Oh, goodie! I get to be the first commenter today. I'm so glad you got to meet Tonja...and yes, I've wondered exactly how to pronounce her name, so now we ALL know. I was saying it wrong too!
Looks like a wonderful lunch...I have to admit when I enlarged the pic, I was lusting after the food on your plates. What a pleasure for you 2 to meet up & have some time to really visit. I wish I had more time when I was down there too, but so glad we took the opportunity to visit you at your church.
Meeting online friends is a great joy, esp. when we have our faith in common. That makes it even more special! Wouldn't it be fun for all of us to get together at some point down in this neck of the woods? It would!

Oh, Kat and Tonja!!! I am sitting here looking at the picture and just wanting to be there with you SO MUCH!!! Have I made myself clear? Ha, ha!!
I am definitely going to have to practice saying Tonja before I get to meet her!
I sent Ray his cell phone and he's guarenteed to get it by tomorrow, so then I'll try to find out from him when we can come down to see him.
Oh wow!! It looks like so much fun. Yup. . I want to be there too. I'll even wear my flip flops (just gotta choose which color-always a tough decision--tee hee).
What a blessing that you've had the opportunity to meet your blogging sisters. I've just started this blogging thing and I already feel so "connected" to my cyber sisters.
P.S. Thanks for the comment on my blog.
