I've been to several AGMs over the years and I've loved every single one of them. Please do let me know if you're going so we can be sure to meet in Washington.

I've only met a couple of bloggers. Evee is from the Scottish Borders so we've met up a few times in various places and then Peggy came all the way from near Pittsburg and we all went up to the Highlands. Blogging is a great way to meet like-minded people, even if it's only virtual.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138715309807238198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-43102000102732361152016-02-19T11:56:07.918-06:002016-02-19T11:56:07.918-06:00But of course!

I was so glad to have people like Ana and Andi when I was a new baby blogger, who were obviously well-liked and intelligent, and I just tried to imitate whatever they were doing. :p<br /><br />I didn't know you were in Houston! We aren't even that far away! If I go visit family there one time this year, I will be sure to drop a line to you so we can get a drink and some books.Jenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.com
