Farewell My Friend – Until We Meet Again– Hopefully Next Year!
This series of posts have been about taking a road trip on one tank of gas. From Pacific MO to Jasper IN it was one tank of gas. Mark (my husband) always lets the tank get to the halfway mark before he fills up. So we filled up once there and once when we got back. From Pacific where we live to Jasper is about 3 1/2 hours. The drive was easy. Lots of farms and beautiful countryside. Not a lot of traffic or 18 wheelers to contend with. All in all it was very pleasant.
The purpose of the trip was a crafters Meet and Greet. Several of my Facebook Crafting “friends” were there. People I’ve met during my time as a live FB crafter. You can check out some of my old crafting live videos (and cooking too) here: https://www.facebook.com/frommycorner/videos
You can just imagine the energy with 30 creatives in the room! It was electric to say the least.
On our last day there we thought we would stray from the group and check out some history and scenery on the way home. But first we planned on breakfast with my first and dearest crafting friend Angie Boggs Foster, her daughter Madison and friend Theresa.
Angie was one of the first live crafters to befriend me when I was just starting out. She would comment on almost all of my lives to encourage engagement, she would share my videos and put in a good word for me with event hosts. In other words she was there to support me. Not to forget all her help with tech issues. She’s been a true blessing. And she continues to support me now that I’ve switched my FB focus from crafting to cooking. Angie has a business page on FB where she live crafts and demonstrates and sells Magnolia stencils. You can find her here:

We met for breakfast at a little restaurant called Cranberries. We ate, we talked –I just wish it could have lasted longer.
The outside of the old mill. I couldn’t get a pic of the water wheel because it was blocked off.
It was so good to finally meet in person. I enjoyed every minute!! Hopefully we can do it again sometime! I’m loving your new adventure and think it suits you well.
