Do you know that feeling when you first meet a special friend and you click right away, talking, laughing, and sharing as if you've known each other for eons? Well, I guess it happens in blogland, too. Thank you Chandy, my dear blogging friend. I wish I could reach into my computer and give you a big hug!
You know, when I started blogging, I thought it would just be a creative outlet, a personal challenge to improve my computer skills, and a chance to play with my digital camera. Never did I imagine that I would meet so many wonderful ladies and experience such camaraderie. For this I feel truly blessed and grateful.

Oh, but there's more! Like I said, God has blessed me with many new friends this weekend. On Saturday, I joined a new ladies social group for a vintage home and garden tour in the OC. It was in the Floral Park Neighborhood of Santa Ana. These vintage homes were built in the 20's and 30's. For you folks in the east coast, that's 1920's and 1930's. Remember, we here in California were not part of the original 13 colonies, so our history is not quite as rich as yours!
Till next time,

Hi! Lorna, Thanks for the award. It is my first time being awarded in the blog world. Your message with lively tone made me feel like someone knock on my door and lead me through a lovely garden tour. Now I feel it so hard to find the "10" nominees, because my blog has been in low profile with few connections with others. It would take me some time to filter out some more wonderful blogs. I hope I can still be qualified for receivng the award. I always enjoy the California sun in your blog. Thanks. Your blog is in my links as "California Sun" now.
Oh Lorna, thank you so much for honoring me with this wonderful award. I will so proudly display your name on my sidebar as one who has graced me with this special tribute. You are such a caring and thoughtful person to think of me and I so appreciate it. Your tour of homes looks like it was a fabulous opportunity to see some of the early architecture of the 20's and 30's. I'm sure you enjoyed it very much. All the pictures look fabulous and how nice to meet new friends. Great flea market also. I can't wait to see your great treasures. Thanks again. Hugs, Marty
Lorna, thank you so much for thinking of me with this special award, and for your lovely comment on my blog. I want to go on a home tour with you! What lovely homes, and that garden with the little house moved from Viet Nam was incredible. And as if that wasn't enough fun, it looks like there were wonderful booths with such fabulous treasures! What a fun day, and you made new friends too. Can't get much better than that! Again, thank you so much for thinking of me with this lovely award. laurie
OMG Lorna! Those homes are gorgeous! I would have loved to see every single one of them. The Vietnamese home was incredible, how they moved it all the way from Vietnam and the amazing pond. And what goodies! I can't wait to see what you took home. I was eyeing on those beautiful trinket boxes. Thanks so much for the lovely award and most of all for thinking of me. I treasure it with my whole heart....Christine
Lorna thanks so much! You are so sweet! Those homes are beautiful! What a great organization to join. I should look into it! I can't wait to see what you got! Those vendors looked awesome!
All the best,
Allison

Lorna, Thanks so much for thinking of me with this award. I also am a newbie, so I feel highly honored. However, it may take me awhile to figure out how to post it and post the other blogs to attach to award. It gives me incentive to learn more:)
Also, just loved your house tours. They are all so lovely with that California style and sunshine.
Thanks again, Crystal
