Welcome to the first Fogless Blog! I’m so glad a couple people actually sent pictures in – I was a little concerned I was gonna be sitting here talking to myself (not that THAT’S unusual) (I don’t mean on the blog. I mean in general.).

These are in order-received order…mingle away!

Iris from Iris Original Ramblings
This is Iris and her late, but beloved, husband Chuck, when he threw her a surprise 50th birthday party. Doesn’t she look like she’s in heaven??

I’ve known Iris (in the internet sense) for many years, gosh, I think over 20 years – that’s a long time in internet time! We used to be on a mailing list (pre-Facebook and all the other social media “connectors” we know now) for ebay sellers…and the whole group became a close-knit group and we really shared all parts of our lives with one another, not just ebay tips and questions. I’m so pleased she’s blogging now and we still have this forum to keep us connected.

Jodie of Jodie’s Touch of Style sent this picture of leopard booties, the purchase of which was inspired by Susan Marinelli (the namer of this little soiree)!jodie

I think of Jodie as The Energizer Bunny of the blogosphere. She is everywhere, doing everything, reading and commenting on ALL the blogs, posting her own blog more days than not, active on Facebook communities, going to blogging conferences and on trips…I seriously don’t know when she sleeps! Jodie, DO you sleep?? She always has something positive or encouraging to say – she’s a real blessing to have around. Which is good, cuz she’s always around!

And last, but certainly not least, is Julia of When The Girls Rule, sharing a recent blog post. Aren’t these wine-colored suede boots amazing?!?

Julia and I started our blogs right around the same time so I always felt a bit like we were kindred spirits, going through many of the same things around the same time. She’s been very patient when besieged with long emails from me wondering “why can’t I? why don’t I? how can I?” and I appreciate her friendship and tolerance!

Well, this month was a rather intimate party. I’ll see from any comments if I’ll plan on doing another one next month. What do you think? Would you like to attend??
