My friend, Lori, planned a road trip to an orchard about 1 1/2 hrs away for yesterday. We have a mutual friend (we all met her thru Lori and her blogging) that lives on the other side of the orchard another 45 mins so it was a great place to meet & spend time together.
The orchard had a large shop with gifts, food, and apples, apples, apples! I am enjoying the dehydrated green beans and have squash for many meals as well as a big bag of Golden Delicious apples. As requested, I brought home 2 apple cider donuts for JP, 2 for Phil, and 2 to share with Miss K today.
We could even grab lunch there and Lori had the great idea to take it back to the shop/snack area where there was heat!! It was sunny out but only low 50’s and very windy!! :shiver: The lunch place had outside eating areas.

Our lunch inside gave us extra time to chat in the warmth as well. We don’t get to see Michelle or Debbie much so it was great to chat face-to-face.
(After this, I'm deciding this sweater needs to go to Goodwill and I need to work harder on my hairdo. How embarrassing! Good thing these are my friends!!)
and sew on... 
What fun. It’s great to meet friends under circumstances such as this. Love the photo too.
I’d have a bad hair day with wind and cold too — I wish we had a pick your own orchard for apples around here – I miss that.

Well this friend from the other side of the orchard thinks you’re beautiful through and through, and I thought your sweater and hair were pretty. Thank you so much for buying me a lunch tenderloin (which was delicious!). It is true that cash is really handy and there are limits on where one can use a debit card! I hope I will get the chance to buy your meal next time. Pick the place! 😀
It is funny how you can feel like you know someone so well when you see them for only the second time. Blogging does that, doesn’t it!
Thanks for driving so far and I enjoyed every minute of it. Looking forward to the next one.
Hugs, Debbie
It was such a fun day!!! I missed my ladies 🙂
I think everyone HATES their picture. I know I do! Oh well, I am who I am…can’t do much about that. Have a great day with K today!
Oh how much fun! I would go with my BFF when I visited her in Ohio. Love the fresh apples AND the cider 🙂
Three cheers for girl time!
Sounds like a great day – friends wouldn’t notice your hair or sweater 🙂
BUT seriously tempting me with apple cider doughnuts… that is so not fair. 😦
