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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
