Yesterday I met NomadicMama

[popcorn]

We had a great time! She was a lot of fun, her little boy is adorable, and her dog Smudge loved Kernel (and her toys) a little too much. But it was wonderful.

So happy to have a friend closeby!

Since we all know if there's no picture it didn't happen, here you go:




We need to do more German GBCNer meetups in the future!

I'm jealous that you have someone close by! How close are you two?

[popcorn]

It took me an hour by train, but that made me backtrack.

By car it's about half an hour it looks like. So, pretty close.

But did she make you cupcakes? That should be a rule...

yay for GTGs!

I was just thinking that the other day!! Maybe we could organize one for late September/early October? I'll be back by then :-)

No, but I had Triple Double Oreos!

We had a wonderful time with Popcorn and Kernel! We talked and talked and ate and talked. A wonderful day! And Kernel is a precious and adorable girl!

Smudge will be leashed next time. He was a sly dog, going in for kisses. He means well, but he's 35 pounds of love (and tongue).

And man, my family room looks nekkid! We've got cement walls, so it's difficult (and a pain) to put nails in. And, well, I have not unwrapped out pictures yet. I need to do that to warm the place up!

Poor Smudge! He doesn't need to be leashed. I found him loving and adorable. Doggy kisses are plentiful in our house too, but my dogs are not quite so stealth so I can fend them off faster.

And yes, she had amazing American foods including Newman's salad dressing AND those triple double oreos.

Smudge was covert-stealth dog yesterday. I think he misses when his Boy was so kissable. I have not seen him like that before. Crazy dog. At least he's lovable, but still--35 pounds of dog love is still 35 pounds. Kernel was fabulous, though. At first, she was surprised, but not upset. By the end, she rolled with it--as both of us lunged to pull Smudge away. When guests are over, I sometimes put his collar and short leash on, and he drags the leash around. It just provides a handle, of sorts, for grabbing him. I don't want Kernel to develop a phobia of Boston Terriers or brindle colored dogs!

I am up for GTGs! I can host, if it is determined to be central enough. I've even got room for a few folks is they want to spend the night. With DH being a way for a year, I can have a houseful of ladies and he doesn't care!
