Reminder for those who sent me P.M.'s last month.

[graciegirl]

Tomorrow is the day for our girls TOTV lunch. Noon at my home in Laurel Valley.

I was so delighted to have so many responses and so sad to ask the moderator to take down my invitation because it went over thirty girls and I thought that would be about the right amount to be able to talk to each other.

I am hoping to gather us again when a lot of the birds are back in December and again have a potluck lunch at that time.

See a lot of you tomorrow.

Gracie..

That is just an excuse. You are afraid I would hug your stuffin' out.

Will we ever, ever, ever, MEET in person?

Gracie: What a beautiful luncheon today in the setting of your lovely home. It was wonderful to meet many of the folks that post here and make new friendships. For those of you that didn't make it, you missed some fantastic food and great conversation. Thanks for hosting this get-together, Gracie and I look forward to seeing some of you Saturday night at Evans Prairie.

Gracie, Unnecessary Kindness.
Acts of intentional goodness toward people you hardly know..
I see how you are.
I'm paying your goodness to me forward. You made a difference in my life and I KNOW there would be an entire marching band of us if we all lined up and tooted for you at once.
this isn't off topic.. I think.. it's about the essence of Grace. thank you, Dear One.

[CarolSells]

We all enjoyed excellent food and company at Grace's luncheon today! It's always fun to meet other TOTVers.

Thanks again, Grace!

Well Boy Howdy in a good way! It was just so nice Gracie. You were so kind to do it and brilliant to think of it! Loved meeting some of those names I have been getting to know on TOTV. Gracie you are the hostess with the mostest. Hope you have some food left over...loved the hot chicken salad. Wowzer.

Thanks so much Gracie and Helene, I had an amazing time. Your house is beautiful, your hospitality overwhelming and your spirit calming. It was so great meeting more TOTV people, it just keeps getting better and better for me. Remember the TOTV Happy hour is going on Saturday (tomorrow) night at 5pm on the deck at Evans Prarie. Be there or be square. :)

A delightful afternoon hosted by a wonderful woman and her lovely daughter. The home was beautiful and the opportunity to meet many from TOTV was especially welcome. We shared great food and conversation and got to know each other outside of the blog. See everyone tomorrow at Evans Prairie.

Ohhhhh, it just kills me I couldn't be there, but so glad everyone had such a good time.

Oh rats, I missed it, it kills me too. But I'm a "resident alien", exiled to Canada until November. I look forward to meeting a lot of new buds at the December lunch! Gracie and Helene are the best!

[Jaggy]

[tainsley]

Thank you Gracie and Helene! Great afternoon at your home. Good food, good conversation and just a great time! So nice to meet everyone. Hugs to you both my friends!

Grace, Today was lovely. Your home should be featured in House Beautiful – it is so inviting.

I enjoyed meeting the women who I feel as if I have gotten to know on TOTV. What fun conversations.

The food was delicious—especially your hot chicken salad and marzetti. I must confess I had seconds of your entrees. Thanks so much.

[TidalWalkers]

So sorry that I was not able to come. I was looking forward to meeting a fellow West Chester-Beckett Ridge gal! It was my fault that I had not written it down when I responded. We are moved in and trying to get settled. Brought way too much stuff with us...should have listened to everyone's comments about too much stuff down here. Your posts have been my inspiration and have helped me so much with my move and locating new places and faces!

[redwitch]

Grace, you are most definitely the hostess with the mostest. It was great fun and thank you so much for doing this.

I have to agree Gracie is definitely a sweet, sweet person. Her home and her luncheon were lovely, but the welcome she and beautiful Helene gave us was the best.

When I first met Gracie in 2007, I have to confess, I wondered if she was genuine. Who can be that consistently nice, generous, thoughtful and sweet tempered? Since then, I've grown to understand that it is Gracie's true nature. She is totally genuine, a very caring and wonderful woman. Sweetie is a lucky guy.
