Well, this year we are only five Vashonistas, as Sally had to cancel at the last minute because of illness. We are so sorry she's not with us for our third gathering at the Lavender Hill Farm on Vashon Island. We are all blogging women who got together two years ago here for the first time, and now I believe we are on a roll! This is such a fine way for us to meet each other as "skin friends," since we already knew so much about each other from our blogs. Links to our previous meetings are
here and
here.
And for the third time we had our Saturday breakfast at the Hardware Store (a restaurant on the main drag) and now it's a tradition. We also had the same waitperson, and we asked if she remembered us, which is doubtful, considering the number of visitors that come every year, but she didn't let on that she didn't remember us.

It is such a peaceful and wonderful place, and we had a great time last night as we ate Jann's wonderful lasagna and enjoyed some great uproarious laughter together. I just returned from a short walk with Sandi and Deb so I could write this post, but there will be more tomorrow on my other blog. I'm really glad I came and I sure wish the rain would stop so we could perhaps capture a view of Mt. Rainier (which is actually available from one of our previous visits here). You can never have too many views of mountains, can you?
:-)
I am thrilled for you that your blog meet-up has become a tradition. And love that view.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful new tradition! Have fun!
ReplyDeletea very neat tradition. :)
ReplyDeleteI always envy you Vashonistas, but so sorry Sally couldn't be there! Enjoy the wonderful lodgings, gorgeous views, and terrific company.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Good that you could go! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a great tradition going.
ReplyDeleteSorry Sally couldn't make it and hope she is all right.
Have fun and keep it going.
A wonderful idea for you all!
ReplyDeleteFive ...six or whatever, you people have a very good time. This year I'm going to look at the other blogs.
ReplyDeletePeaceful co-existence. Can we ask for more? Love your photos, DJan.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful the tradition of Vashonistas were able to make it this year, hope Sally is feeling better. You all look like a fun crowd and have a wonderful weekend at your special place.
ReplyDeleteWell, in my view, you CAN have too many mountains (I'm a flatlander myself) ... but you CAN'T have too many friends. Sounds like a great time, a great group of people.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tradition you have there. May it continue for many years. Looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting that you bloggers got together again. Too bad Sally wasn't feeling well. Next time. Can hardly wait to read all about the gathering on your other blog. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tradition. I've never been disappointed from meeting another online acquaintance yet. I hope Sally is feeling better and that you can all meet up again next time.
ReplyDeleteVashonistas? Well, whatever, as long as you are having fun.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and Bear hugs!
it is pretty cool that you have set this tradition to get together...and it is neat that you visit the same spot....
ReplyDeleteAh how nice that you've made a tradition of this meet up.
ReplyDeleteHow fun....and I love this traditional get-together!!
ReplyDeleteDid someone mention lasagna?
Rain, rain go away, come again another day... (Hope that helps.)
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to get together again with blog friends. It's not to have the face to face connection.
Wonderful that you get to meet some of your blogging friends!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice get together. Blogging friends are the best!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful view from the farmhouse. The Vashonistas have created a lovely tradition.
