words lots of words
You may have heard about BlogFest?
It took place this past weekend in Mathews, Virginia.
An extremely hot, humid, wonderful place with no cell phone reception (unless you use Verizon) except on Bud's Beach on Gywnn's Island facing Hills Bay.
ChesapeakeBayWoman (CBW), Big Hair Envy, NoeNoe Girl, and Ann Marie (Re) of Hill Billy Gothic were our hostesses.
A fabulous packet of information was put together by ChesapeakeBayDaughter, (thank you for that) ... we went on boat rides on the Bay, ate shrimp boils, grilled burgers, franks, spectacular pasta salad, lots and lots and lots of wine .. some not so hot scallops at Seabreeze ... and an amazing chocolate bread pudding (if you didnt get to have some, pray The White Dog still serves it next year).
I will never think of karaoke the same way after this weekend, some women sure can swing a mic and some blog-husbands are very brave.
There was a trip to Gywnn's Island to hear about its history from Mathews Mark's fiesty mama Miss Pooky; a ride over to see Big Hair Envy's family cemetery, incredible old house and barns where herhot, um, handsome, charming, yeah, charming nephew showed us around and joined us for lunch, followed by an impromptu cornfield stop/photo op at an old house where we were NOT trespassing since CBW knows the absentee owners.
An afternoon shopping, eating and photo taking at the Courthouse (Mathews speak for downtown) followed by a late afternoon at Bud's Beach and a cook out.
Most of us met for the first time last July and kept the Blister (Blog+Sister=Blister) thing going so it might have been a little overwhelming for the two newbies (Jamie and Tracey) but all that laughing, hugging, mugging and silliness didnt keep them from joining in.
Wander the blogsphere (save time, check out the blogs on my sidebar) and you'll get to see/hear about this amazing weekend from the others who were there.

all I'm sayin' is
what happens in the cornfield, stays in the cornfield.
