What A Great Week We Had - Day 5 - Grand Fanale




Hi Pals,

Well, M says all good things have to come to an end, and this was Cheryl's (PumpkinPuddy's mom) last day.   She had suggested doing a meet-up of Wisconsin anipals before she headed for home.

M arranged for the gathering to take place at Perkin's Restaurant in Oshkosh - a midpoint for everyone.   It was a great day meeting the humans of so many of my pals.  I only wish I could have gone too.  But, I did send Plush Mario in my place and #MiniBreeze went along too.  (Dang M forgot to get MiniBreeze out for the pictures.  She did have him on the table before lunch and showed him off, but never got him out of her blue bag when it was time to take pictures.   She said her brain was out to lunch too - only in a different restaurant.  She apologized to @Kittieboi because he made a special effort to be at our house in time for this meeting.)

Left to Right:

M (my human) (stands for  Mary or mom.)
Sylvia (human for @3Catsstrapki)
Cheryl (human for @PumpkinPuddy)
Sarabeth (tweets as @Sarabeth
Doug (human for @TheNascarKitty)
Laura (human for @RealFakeGator)
Carol (human for @Fergusthedog)

M enjoyed meeting everyone so very much.   She loves those meetups, but unfortunately doesn't get to very many because of the distance to get there. I was wishing I could really meet everyone too cuz it would mean extra pets and attention and probably a few treats!   But at least my  plush double got to go.

Hope you enjoyed the tour that @PumpkinPuddy's mom had while visiting our state.  We sure enjoyed her visit.

Thanks for visiting pals,

Mario

How pawsome is this! It's like a Nipclub meeting or something. I immediately recognized your M, Pumpkinpuddy's Mom and Fergus' Mom, since TW met her at Blogpaws. I bet this week was tiring but it did your M a world of good.

How awesome so many of them were able to get together! Out here in over-crowded southern California, there are probably only half that many pet bloggers and Tweeters.

Hi Mario!
What a fun week you and M must have had! Glogirly says it's so much fun to meet other bloggers in person...it just doesn't happen often enough!

She used to live in Appleton, WI...so it was fun for her to look at the scenic photos. She's always said that Wisconsin is such a beautiful state....so lush and green.

Thanks for sharing the adventures!
: ) Katie

PS… thank you SO much for your well-wishes for Glogirly. She’s feeling better already and hopes that her new-monia, will be old-monia soon!

Mom loves meet ups. I think i'd like that too. But we don't know anyone who blogs in the Philippines. Everyone we know who does are all across the miles.
