Maybe he is talking about a big fish? :)
Paw Paw was along for the trip(front left above). I am not sure that he realized who we were meeting--but he enjoyed the food.
Holly holding court. See she is the same in person as she is in blogland. You just enjoy talking and listening to her. She is a ray of sunshine. Notice the cute one in her lap? She is going to be a good listener too.Now we "posed" for some other pictures but I will not post them. I have a massive problem with my eyes and glare. When Keith took the pictures I was squinting into the sun--let's just say it was not pretty. But here is a passable one taken just before we parted.
I enjoyed getting to meet her four children--they were great. Keith enjoyed playing with Tabor. Yes, I had to ask where that name came from. Great meaning behind that name Holly. Love it! We had lunch and it was over too soon. They have a grueling ride ahead of them, so we only got a little over two hours together. Below you can see their truck on the left. They have great taste in trucks--an avalanche--I have one too. Keith thinks their's is a real truck--it has four wheel drive. ;)
So did I learn anything new about Holly? Hmmmmm--she likes to talk with her hands. A girl after my own heart. Hubby says if you tied my hands I could not speak. She is not a morning person--me either. She loves coffee-----me too. She takes a good picture--what a sweet smile.
She has raised her kids right--they are polite and well behaved. They waited patiently while we talked. Her husband is really nice and comfortable to be around. He is the down home sort. I like that. Over all it was a really nice time. I would love to sit down and have a heart to heart--I think she could handle my brain. She has a big heart!
Well I have gushed quite enough. Pray they have a safe trip home. They will be home sometime late tomorrow. You know her kids have to be good to be willing to spend 12 hours in a vehicle today and 13 tomorrow. Bless her heart---she'll need a vacation from her vacation after all that riding.
Thank you Holly------you were a joy to be around. Looking forward to meeting you in the mountains sometime. :)

what a BLESSING!
ps: thank you for visiting Carole's blog!!!
What a great catch up. Sharon, I too have problems with my eyes! I wear my sunglasses in the winter too, cant' cope with any brightness at all - photophobic. I found myself praying for you in the night, is all well? Hugs.
Glad you had a nice visit. I have a problem with cameras too- they make me have a double chin and add all these weird spots to my face!!! What's with that? Oh, yeah, those are my freckles...
I have met a couple of OLF...it's fun
Have a good nite
OHHHH...I just could cry over Jesus!
So glad y'all got to meet. And I pray that He does give you two a coffee date. I am sure it must already be marked on His Kingdom Calendar.
Bless you girlfriend
How fun was that?! So glad ya'll got to meet. I'm looking forward to my "blog sista meeting" at Deeper Still, Nashville in September. Isn't this fun?
I had a wonderful time, too, Sharon! What a blessing it was to meet you in person. My heart is still full from the gift of it! We just got home (12:00 MST) and I'm off to bed...THANK YOU for the prayers on the way home. We are "tared," which is way beyond tired, I think!
I will write more soon!
Love,
Holly
I am so glad that you got to meet face to face! I have been waiting for the "report"! LOL.
