The recipe cards from Barb which she made for Mandy's wedding!!!! I was so excited when I saw the envelope with the US stamp on it.
SO
AND THEN......
I called Barb to thank her. On the phone. And spoke to her. I SPOKE TO BARB! Well, after we established that I was not someone from eastern parts trying to sell her something, that is. And it was just so lovely to hear the voice of someone I feel I know via the wonders of our blogging world. We discussed whether green tomatoes are unripe or a special kind, as we had both read Boomama's latest post. And I asked the questions re baking soda vs baking powder which I am never sure about when I am following an American recipe. And we just talked. Sigh. It was lovely. In fact, it has made my day.
Barb, it was great to talk, and thanks again!

When I realized it was you, I was embarrassed to death, Linds. You must think I have the worst phone manners in the world but I thought you were some foreigner trying to sell me something.
LOL I guess you ARE a foreigner. To someone who lives on the other side of the world. Like me.
How nice it was to talk to you. You have the sweetest voice. If I'd known all I had to do was send you something and you'd call me, well I'd have sent you something ages and ages ago. :-)
Thank you for calling me. You can be sure I'll be mentioning our conversation in a post sometime soon. Right now there's this crazy book giveaway going on over at my place. Run over and put your name in - as you know, I have no problem mailing something to Great Britain!
Ah, Linds...
My jealousy knows no bounds!!
Good for you, and good for Barb. Wouldn't it be great to MIRL?
How fun!! Not only to receive the cards with recipes... but even more so to talk to Barb!!
I'm so glad you guys had that opprotunity!
Ooooh, what a treat that must have been. Couldn't happen to two nicer people.
How wonderful that you were one of the lucky winners for Barb's recipe cards AND that you called her!!! I've now spoken to a few blogging friends over the phone and it's such an absolute thrill:-) xoxo
What great fun Linds!! I'm sure you're going to love those recipe cards, but talking to Barb must have been very special. I'm so glad you got to this right now. What a special gift.
This cracks me up, congrats!!!!
Hi again, Linds,
OK, I did a humiliating post all about how I answered the phone when you called me. Feel free to read it and run. LOL

I've had real life phone conversations with a few blogging friends, and it really adds a whole new dimension to the friendship, doesn't it?
