Hi Everybody!
(I am sorry I have been away. It's been a crazy week!
I am looking forward to getting back to my regular blogging schedule.)
A while ago, a strange man contacted me via e-mail and asked to meet me in Los Angeles.
Naturally, I said yes.
So last Sunday I got dolled up and followed the instructions this man gave me and I am so glad I did!
Did I mention this man was my delightfully strange and incredibly witty blogging buddy, Lazarus, from the LG Report?
Lazarus and his lovely wife were visiting from Pennsylvania and were gracious enough to meet with me and even treat me to lunch! It was so much fun to meet a blogging buddy. It felt like we were old friends. It reminded me of how wonderful the blogging community is.
(Oh, and his wife is a peach! An absolute peach!)
If you haven't stopped by The LG Report, I suggest you do.
(The restaurant was pretty noisy, but I am pretty sure that at some point in our conversation over lunch, he promised to give all my readers who dropped by $50.00 each.)

I found you from the LG report. He was right...you are a delight. Glad to meet you!
How wonderful!
Don't tell anyone I said so, but he's quite handsome.
Hi Betty! What a neat invitation! And I've been an LG follower for some time. I stopped by and left a comment, too....so, when do I get the fifty bucks?! :)
Yay! You got to meet one of my favorite blogger buds, LG! Great photo!
How lovely to meet a blogging buddy.

Cool.
How fun! I would love to meet some blog friends. It hasn't happened yet, but I'm sure it will one of these days.
I haven't read LG so I'll be hopping over on your recommendation (and for the $50).
$50? I'm heading right over. I'll be sure to tell him you said it was all right.
Heh, heh. This made me smile.
NUNH-UNH!!!!!!
SERIOUSLY???
WORLDS COLLIDE!!!
(shockwaves felt in Oklahoma...details at 10:00)
That is pretty darn fabu-lo-so!!! If I do say so!!! And I do!
Two of my favorites: I love you both!
I wish I had known you were getting together: I would have encouraged you both to talk about me. Someone needs to.
Kisses! XXX OOO
Wonderful! I don't comment on LGs blog a lot but I read all the time. I can imagine it was a very easy lunch, with a lot of laughter. =)
PS - does he talk in 3rd person?
How wonderful!
Oh, lucky you!
You know he keeps saying he'll be in Minneapolis some day, but I think he's just pulling my (virtual) leg...

It sounds like a fun meeting. And may I say...your hair looks lovely in the photo. :)
Good for you!!
Checked in after reading one of my favorite bloggers, LG. I was hooked on The Matter of the Rings. What a deep and gut-wrenching post that was. I will be back again, for sure. Glad I found you. EFH
How lovely Betty and what fun to connect. Must stop by LG site now ..hope the exchange rate is good for £s!
Happy to see you smiling! :) Sounds like you had an amazing time!
Morning BB!!
What a fantastic time you must have had with LG and his lovely wife. Very very nice of them to contact you for a meet and greet!!
Absolutely lovely picture of you two also,
Happy Friday,
Hugs Madi and Mom
What a great picture of you two! Glad you had a good time with LG and his wife.
Sounds like a good time. You look happy, which is good. :)
So glad you had a good time. I'll check out his blog.
Betty my friend, wonderful post, thanks for the shout-out, although you did mis-hear me, I'm sorry to say. What I said was "I can either give all of your followers $50 or I can buy you lunch today, it's your choice..." Oh well, I'm sure they received $50 worth of enjoyment between reading your post and LG's. Mrs. LG and I had a great time, can't wait to see you again!
What fun! :-D
Hope you have a great weekend, Betty!
$50 Bucks??Hahahaa...On My Way!!Lolol...You looked BEAUTIFUL!!!
hughugs
Glad you got to meet him!
Now where's my fifty bucks?
oh how fun. I've yet to meet any blogging pals. Maybe some day. I think I'll stop over at the LG report to collect my $50 ...lol
Isn't that fun??! I LOVE to meet blog pallies!! Any time you are in Chicago.....
:)
Wow - look at you! You look GORGEOUS! I can truthfully say that it's lots of fun to meeting blogging friends. So far I've met 3 and each one was great fun. One will be a friend for life.
Betty, I can't get over how happy and beautiful you look! I will hop over there asap! xoMonkeyME
The blogging community really does have some wonderful people in it. I visited your friend's blog and told him I was there to collect the $50. Ha ha ha. Kidding. (But no, I really DID visit his blog.) :) Happy weekend, Bossy Betty!
Aww what fun. I'm glad you had a great time.. it's always fun to meet online folks.
Hi Betty .. ah ah here's the other Hilary .. that was such a fun post - and how wonderful to meet up and natter about life - bet they were empathetic and down to earth too.
Great fun read and lovely memories - so pleased you're getting out and about .. cheers for now - Hilary
Sounds like a fun time! That is a cute photo of the two of you! And, hey, for $50, I'll be sure to stop by his blog! Ha ha!
It sounds nice. I've yet to acutally meet a fellow blogger in "real" life...
Betts,
One more follow up (and thanks for driving all these people in search of their $50 to The LG Report!). I just hit on the brilliant (and totally obvious) idea of stealing the photo from your blog and substituting it for the one on mine that you didn't like. It's all good now (although I thought you looked great in both anyway...) Thanks again for the shout out, you have some really cool (and devoted) readers. xo, LG :)
It's such a treat when bloggers are just as cool in person as they are on their blog :-)))
Off to say hi to LG.
xo jj
I do read LG and I'm so glad you got to meet him in person AND his wife! Awesome!
And Betty, dahling you look marvelous! Absolutely marvelous!
Bossy Betty?
I have NEVER seen you look more beautiful.
My manners prevent me from saying, "dang...this woman, available, on the market...she won't last long."
Thank goodness for manners.
xo
