October, Barbie, Bloggy Meetup, and Rosh Hashanah

Dear Sillies,

Happy October!

I adventured a bit further north toward Oregon this past weekend. 

Can you guess the name of this fabulous milkshake I ravaged? It's called "Barbie." Oh emm gee! As yummy as it is pinkified. It's from Yaks in Mount Shasta.



 I also elated in the privilege of another face-to-face bloggy meetup. Toni and I met at the fabulous blog of the fabulous Debra She Who Seeks. We live just an hour from each other and I'd planned on stopping in her hometown, so a Starbucks date it was. She's a fun and interesting dear heart. We had a great meetup. Yay for that!  



Northern northern Cali is beautiful, my Sillies. Siskiyou County, Trinity County, Shasta County. I thoroughly basked in it -- a little hiking, a lot of inhaling of fresh pine air, and the perfect ambiance for quiet contemplation.

When nature calls, lean into it, my friends.


One more note, Happy Rosh Hashanah, year 5785, to the Jewish people! Our New Year begins this eve. 

Much love and well wishes, friends.

    1. I don't like that milkshake's name, Mitchell, but I HAD to do it. In fact, I might have to do it again sometime.
      Thank you.

  2. Cool you got to meet a blogger buddy. Northern California is like Oregon - green and beautiful.

  3. Happy Rosh Hashanah to you, Robyn! Looks like you've been enjoying life. Not sure about that Barbie shake but it's always wonderful to commune with nature. And meeting an online friend is awesome too. Shana Tovah!

  4. How wonderful that you and Toni met in another blog buddy meetup! I've enjoyed reading Toni's blog posts for many years. I wish I could have joined you both at that Starbucks!

    I like how you were all dolled up in pink for your Barbie milkshake! Have a happy Rosh Hashanah too!

    1. I could understand why you've been long time blog buds, Debra. You're very much alike in wonderful ways. Wish you could've joined us too.
      Thank you.

  5. Happy New Year! Even though I was a little disappointed I missed the Blintz Drop in Times Square, off to temple in the morning.

  7. Happy Rosh Hashanah! May this time be one for happy moments, time for reflection and may the hate stop. I'm so glad you met up with a fellow blogger and saddened that it wasn't me:)). One day, we will meet even though I am In the Niagara Region.

  8. Happy Rosh Hashanah to you! Glad you are out and about spreading joy to trees and beyond. Oh wait, the trees gave you joy too - I love a good walk under a bower. Meeting blog friends - nice! Keep up the smiles and nature walks. You earned a pink shake. Yum!

  10. If nature calls, I maintain you should NOT lean into it. It could dribble on your pant leg.

  11. Meeting up with you was truly nice. You're fun. I think we could get into some good trouble if we hung out together; maybe next time!
    It would have been cool if Debra could have been there but having met through her blog, her spirit was with us!

    1. It was great. Double trouble for the next meetup, it is! Ha. We'll have to complete the trio at some point. Thanks so much, Toni.
