Blogger Lunch Date

Judy and Mr.
Riverton, WY
August 2015

The morning before I left for the road trip with my sister and niece, I got an email from Judy at Daily Yarns 'n More, and she threw me off balance when she asked how far I lived from Casper, WY.  I explained that I lived in Riverton, which is about a two-hour drive from Casper.

I was delighted to hear that Judy and her Mr. (that's the name she gives him on her blog, so I won't reveal his name here) were driving right through my town, and I gave directions to the Roasted Bean where I would meet them for lunch.

We had a wonderful visit over lunch: Judy and I have been reading each other's blogs for a couple of years, maybe more, and we knew quite a bit about each other's interests. Her poor Mr. was at a definite disadvantage, but when I asked him some questions about his barn and the sugaring process, he jumped right in, and the conversations between the three of us flowed smoothly.

Judy and Mr. were on their way to Spokane, WA for their daughter's wedding. Mr. slipped away from the table at one point, and came back with a pint of pure maple syrup that he and Judy had collected from their own trees. How cool is that! From reading Judy's blog, I knew their harvest this year was considerably less that previous years, so their gift means even more to me.

I promised Judy and Mr. some local honey from Doug's (my friend Sheila's husband) hives, but he hasn't extracted it yet. I hope Judy and Mr. will enjoy the pale, gold honey from the Wind River Valley when I send it to them.

Judy is an amazing photographer and regularly posts beautiful photos of her area, especially barns. Here's the link to her blog.
