"A single rose can be my garden-a single friend my world"
Leo F. Buscaglia
During a recent trip to Paris my husband and I met up with a blogging friend..
We lunched at one of the many outdoor Paris cafes'..
strolled through crowds and explored quaint narrow streets
filled with creative boutiques..
discovering the charm of Paris!It was fun chatting , taking photos and stopping to purchase
a few reminders to bring home.
With our husbands, we met for dinner the next eveningsharing in laughter and conversation and
toasting with champagne!
Tara you are the true charm of Paris..
so interesting so passionate and a most fascinating lady!
MERCI!
Last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting A most gracious friend who gave us a personal tour of her
hometown of Wiesbaden and surrounding areas.
We learned of the rich history of Germany's pasttouring historical sights and castles!
We lunched at a landmark restaurant
"The only rose without a thorn is friendship"
We lunched at a landmark restaurantwith a panoramic view of the Rhine river vineyards
known as Rheingau.
We tasted unforgettable German cuisine and
the Riesling wine of this region!
We chatted and shared stories and enjoyed
the breathtaking view!
Monika invited us to her charming home to meet
her handsome husband and
we experienced her warm comforting hospitality!
Monika after travelling for a month away from our home
it was a treat to be invited to the comforts
of your lovely intimate home.
You are a warm generous unforgettable friend!
Danke!
"The only rose without a thorn is friendship" I feel blessed in having met extra-special blogging friends..
2 special roses in a world of friendships
I appreciate the thoughtfulness shown to my
husband and I while visiting Paris and Germany.
We hold you both close to our hearts.

How interesting to meet someone you know from blogging. I'm sure sight seeing was much more enjoyable with someone who knew the area.

It's great that you meet blogfriends in Europe. I'm glad that you our good old Germany so well-liked, especially the wine! :-)

I've had the chance to meet several blogging friends and it's always such a pleasure. It seems like you and your husband had a great trip! That rose is so beautiful!

How wonderful that you were able to meet blogging friends while in Europe. Getting to see the sights with them would have been so much more interesting than exploring on your own or listening to a tour guide.
I saw the Nature Girl logo on the photo of the cafe and thought it really WAS on the awning:)
This just shows the power of the blogging community. Isn't it amazing that you have made such wonderful friendships through your blog and even more so, to have the opportunity to meet these lovely ladies/friends in person. Sometimes I can't even wrap my mind around it. TWT
P.S. I too was fooled by your logo on the awning -- had to look twice.
How wonderful that you had a chance to meet two wonderful blogging friends while traveling abroad!! It looks like you have a wonderful time.

Isn't that amazing, how you two got to meet each other in such a far away place.... Life is full of surprises, doen't it.... and how sweet that was to be able to walk the lovely streets of Paris with a blog friend.... OK, we're going to Spain again next spring... would you by any chance be traveling to Europe again next year??? :)
A warm hug to you my friend....

How lovely to meet our Ms. Tara and so many of the others who inhabit your world courtesy of this lovely blog (and you, theirs!) The photos say it all - happy, lovely smiles! I so admire the beautiful images you have shared with us on your trip, but I also admire the beauty of friendship that just jumps out of the monitor and into my heart through these photos.
What a wonderful time! Looks and sounds like a lot of fun! The rose at the top of the post is beautiful.
Stop by my blog when you get a chance and pick up your award.

Waht an adventure. Amazing memories being made.
Ooooh! I followed the trail from your delightful comment on my blog to this magical place you call home. Wow! I love it. Travel, friends, beauty, joy ... you've got it all!
I'm captivated! I shall be brief just now as I am wont to travel through your previous posts and delight in a view of the world through Nature-Girl's eyes and heart.
THanks for coming by to see me, so that I could receive this blessing in returning here. : )

p.s. I love your profile pic -- she hangs in our music room with her winsome inspiration.

Prayers for you and your "special" life with mom. Yes, my friend, God wants you to live abundantly in all circumstances.
Dearest Anna, the pleasure was mine! It was fabulous spending time with you and NatureBoy - I only wish we'd had more time, as we have so much to talk about! Next trip, I hope! You are always welcome here. Am so glad you had a wonderful trip and fun adventures at all your stops along the way. Miss you! xoxox
What a lovely trip and aren't there the most wonderful women blogging? My youngest son just left on a trip to Bulgaria and Greece - his first real trip. My camera got to go!
But you're not wearing your floral wreath..?
Lovely!
