What's Better then Meeting Bloggin Buddies???

Nothing ~ it is the best part of bogging♥

We got up Sunday morning with the intentions of putting our luggage from the trip and a few other things into storage... then putter around the motorhome cleaning out drawers and cabinets which tend to get cluttered with stuff when we are in one place for a long time. I knew I didn't have much to blog about since we don't really do to much when we are parked in our home town for the winter. I was taking a break reading blogs and on facebook when one of my bloggin buddies Elaine, E & R's Travels, came on and said they were up in New Port Richey and was going to Tarpon Springs for the day. We both agreed we'd love to get together before they leave the area but we could not meet them up at Tarpon so she said they could drop by. She asked if we had met Arlene & Kevin, Roaming Where We Can, who are staying in our park and I said no we had not met them yet. Since we got back Thursday night and we've been wiped out from the 2 day drive back in rain practically all the way. So we all planned to get together in the afternoon... at our motorhome... it was a great time meeting all of these wonderful people and we truly enjoyed their company... We spent some time here at our place and then walked over and spent a while chatting & laughing at Arlene & Kevin's place.

After a pretty good visit we decided to go out to eat at a new place right beside the park ~ Southern Buffet. Arlene & Kevin couldn't go so it was just Elaine, Rick Ralph & me. We walked back to our coach and I went in to put on sneakers and give Tiffy some water. When I came out Elaine & Rick were talking to our neighbor. Come to find out they knew each other from New Brunswick and didn't know they were here. Rick use to work with the wife ~

What a small world it is.

Ralph & Rick

The food was pretty good and we all had a fun time. It was GREAT getting to know Elaine & Rick better ~ I know we'll be friends for a long time. Our plans were to visit New Brunswick this summer but now we have even more reason to go. To visit our new friends and enjoy their company again and have some fun.

~~~A day trip to meet new friends ~~~

We got up early this morning in anticipation of going to Lakeland and meeting new Rv & Blogging friends.... It was about an hour drive from our park in Largo but we didn't mind... We are always good for an adventure and this was going to be a special one meeting new friends. When we arrived there quite a few people were already gathered in the parking lot. Shortly after we all headed into

Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill.

Our hosts who organized the whole event was Donna (aka Froggi) & Stu McNichol

GREAT job Donna... We all took our seats and introduced ourselves. After we started chatting with our neighbors about our adventures and where we were all parked now and where we are heading to this summer. My only regret of the whole thing was I didn't get a chance to talk with everyone but I am sure we'll be all getting together again... Perhaps a happy hour at a centrally located area (campground)

The service & food was excellent... Ralph & I both had a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
which was very good but wished we had gotten BBQ after we saw some of the other dishes. ☺ They looked really yummy...

Here is a list of all those who attended our luncheon and if you click on their names it will take you to their blogs... Go visit them and you'll meet some really great people.

On the way home we stopped at Camping World to pick up a filter and see what they may have new. We ran into our very good friends there and ended up back at their MH for a visit... plus we wanted to see their new coach... It was an excellent day! I can't wait to get together with my new friends again.

Have Fun, Travel Safe & Stay Healthy!!!
