A Tale of Two Bloggers

So about a year after I started blogging, I met Pines Lake Redhead via blog. Like many of us do, I started following her after I saw a comment she left on another blog, Uncommon Blonde. I had no idea who she was, where she lived. Turns out, she worked with a friend of mine I knew through a professional association.  After a bit of guessing, the friend in the middle helped each of us figure out we shared this commonality.

We met on a blogger's first date of sorts, thinking we we could be friends. We have boys of a similar age and husbands who love fishing. We both work in PR. We love to take pictures. And, most importantly, we both have red hair. (You HAVE to stick together.)

So after our sushi/ shopping gig one Saturday night, our families went out to a Rays baseball game together. We've both been crazy busy with work and other things, but tomorrow, Pine Lakes Redhead and Gropius are enjoying a girls' weekend of our own.

We're driving over to the center of Florida to explore Bok Tower Gardens on the Lake Wales Ridge, an area that sports some unusual vegetation for Florida, since it's located on slightly elevated ridge right through the middle of the peninsula. Tomorrow night, there's a full moon concert out on the lawn there. Please pray for us--it's supposed to be cold and rainy. Chalet Suzanne, the little Restaurant & Inn, looks like a trip.

I'm sure we'll both have stories and photos for you this weekend. Let's hope we won't have pneumonia too.

We're coming equipped with Cheetos, lots to share about work, books, blogging, family, etc.  And for the record, yes, I met her on a blog.
