Deb of Bonbonoiseau had a brilliant idea: a chicknic in the park.
The rain had stopped at last.
So we all agreed and offered to bring food.
McCarren Park in Brooklyn.
There was an excellent balance of things that are good for you
and morally pure like tomatoes, melon, fruit salad
and stuff that is wonderful like
vanilla pudding and stuffed peppers wrapped in bacon
and stuffed eggs and cake.
So we ate and ate, and then ate more and talked about weddings
and blogging and various other topics of burning interest to all.
Bloggers are pretty good at words, food and connecting.
and wished they were with us but wondered if we were too dull.
On the way home, an old lady thanked the young man who helped
her off the bus. A VERY GOOD DAY.
It was great meeting you at the chicknic Elizabeth. Loved the sprinkles and looking forward to having Pimms! x Marichelle
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea to meet in the park for a bloggers chat and a "chicknic"...does that mean that ate chicken or that you were all females?
ReplyDeleteLoved the last photo of the woman thanking the helper...how sweet she looks...her sense of time must be different because she turned and shook the young man's hand right in the flow of people getting of the bus.
Thanks for sharing your day and photos, ELizabeth. <3
This one is not just a good day but a good story to share..thanks

You had a much better full moon than I did, Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteI love sitting down with food and drink and bloggers. Janelle would be a wonderful addition to any blog get together. Wouldn't that be fun??
That sounds like so much fun! What a great way to meet other bloggers (or did you all know each other prior to this?)
ReplyDeleteLove the last pic. Kind of negates all of the stereotypes, doesn't it!

I just came over from rochembeau's blog. She posted this picture of the young man, helping the lady of the bus. My heart sang with joy. I love this photograph. Beautiful!

Looked so fun and summery! Gorgeous fruit salad!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you footnoted this one with an elderly lady who took the time to be gracious and thankful to someone who had done a kind deed. I'm always touched by the kind manners and thoughtfulness of so many of the bloggers that I know.
So lovely to meet you, Elizabeth! I'm glad we found each other instead of becoming dreadfully lost on our owns and maybe being eaten by Large Squirrels. Kisses to Buster.
ReplyDeleteAwww I love this blog entry, Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteHow could anyone think you bloggers dull after that magnificent spread. Loved your colorful and mouthwatering Chicknic!
And the old lady photo at the end...was the cherry on top!
Sweet...life, friends and random acts of kindness
ReplyDeleteI am glad to have found you again! How did I manage to lose you?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea ! this picnic looks fantastic
