I was lucky enough to be able to spend over two hours with Mrs. French, the delightful author/photographer of the blog Bliss.

What fun!
Update: Ok...the details of the morning...
Mrs. French and I met at Bellatazza, a coffee shop in downtown Bend, Oregon.

She was vacationing South of Bend, I live North of Bend, so we met half-way.
She's delightful. Just like her blog persona. There we no awkward I-don't-know-what-to-talk-about moments. We chatted away for over two hours. Our topics ranged from how we met our husbands (me-blind date, Mrs. French-dancing), to talks of cats (she has 3, I have 1), blogging (of course), photography, living in Central Oregon (I do, she wants to). The initial loneliness of moving to a new town and not knowing anyone. Exercise, desserts, family, friends.....
Just lovely....
Happy Fourth of July!
