Planning for a trip back to the states is always fun...but this trip!  WOW, the summer of 2011 is PACKED with a wedding  & reception, a baby shower, a baby introduction, a We Love Kate Day, tea room times, lunches with my best friends and of course those famous Friday lunches with Mom, surgery (not mine, thank goodness), camping, family reunions (only three that I am aware of!) and .......something new.

I am introducing to the world something so valuable it will sweep the nation and soon the world!!   It brings together the gift of friendship and the quality of time we spend with others...its blended with connecting people, other wise known as networking. With a few dashes of "the good old days" (picnics, potlucks and parks..other wise known as the 3P's) - kind of like a family reunion..but not.

Let me introduce to you  ~~  the Friendly Reunion!  Yes, I am going to have the first official Friendly Reunion this summer in Fort Collins Colorado.

We will have friends old,and new catching up, visiting sharing stories and connections, playing games, slowing down and spending time with those we hold dear to us. 

Some how this was lost in my life for awhile, but - no more - I am remembering what is important! Family and friends!

I would love to hear about any other Friendly Reunions happening this year~ Please post a comment below.
