Back home and meeting Chari and Russ!

Oh my golly gosh! We arrived home late last night.  We're tired but happy!  And see that gorgeous cake?  It  was made for Dan and I by the ultra talented Chari @  Happy to Design

Dan and I were so blown away by Chari and Russes hospitality.  They are the nicest people ever!

Just look at that beauty!   Chari had it displayed on her most lovely crystal cake pedestal.  It was Italian creme, and tasted as good as it looks!

 Oh, it was good!!!

And look what was waiting for us!!!  This lovely basket put together for Dan and I.  And to top it off, it was sitting inside the most gorgeous guest room I have ever seen!  Honestly, I have loved this room for so long but never imagined I would get to sleep in it.

Chari is the most talented decorator I have ever known!  My picture only shows a small section of this gorgeous room but you can see more by heading over to her blog.   Boy oh boy does she have talent!!!

Here is just one little section of her gorgeous office.  I could have just sat on the floor and stared at the walls and vignettes for hours!!!

And here is our lovely hostess with the most-est!!!  Chari and Russ are the nicest people ever!!

Gosh I wish she lived down the road from me.  Well actually they do, but it's like 850 miles down the road from us. 

And here is the lovely gracious couple together.  Chari and Russ, such nice people!

We arrived Saturday afternoon and later we all went out to eat.  What a fun time we had. 

Chari and Russ are so much fun we hated to leave the next day. 

Chari and I visiting on her swing. 

I thought this pic was so cute!!  Honestly, we had the best time!  I first got to know Chari when we were both on RMS.  Then I followed her to blogging.  I feel so lucky that we finally were able to  meet!  And Dan and I are going to be working on getting these two to Wisconsin to spend some time with us.

If you ever have a chance to meet a blogger friend just go for it!  After talking on-line for so long we didn't feel like strangers at all.  We had so much in common and so much to share.

Well my friends, I have more pics to share later and a ton of dirty laundry to take care of now.

I will be around to visit you all soon.

Happy Weekend
