I had a very fast and small getaway trip to Southern California a few days ago. While I was visiting my son and daughter-in-law, I found some time to run over to Paris to the Moon in Costa Mesa. I met up with Lidy Baars of Tales From a Little French Garden House. We have commented on each others blogs several times, but this was my first time to meet her in person. She is so nice and very friendly. We hit it off immediately, as I knew we would. How nice is she to take time out of her day to meet me!! She also made a gift for me, a beautiful Christmas cone decoration. It is so special.
Lidy and Sharon
Sharon, Lidy and Kerri Judd, Kerri co-authored Crowns & Tiaras.
Darrin Calkin is the owner of Paris to the Moon. Notice how he could not get a word in, because Lidy and I had so much to say to each other! It was a great afternoon and an excellent way to finish my trip to SoCal. By the way, the Santa Ana winds were blowing like crazy, which whipped up the fires something fierce. Please keep the victims of the fires in your hearts and prayers.
I'm sure it was a very enjoyable day! I know Lidy through her blog and she is always a sweet and gracious lady.
Your Christmas open house sounds wonderful! I wish I lived close ehough for a visit.

That's great that you and Lidy could meet Sharon! Glad the weather and fires are calming down now! One of my friends in Del Mar's house was spared, but she has two friends who lost their homes.
Hope you feeling all better!
Safe and sound back at home.
