Marla and sao Attended the Moss on the James Luncheon

Posted By drsao on January 25, 2009

I absolutely cannot believe that there are so many SUPER NICE PEOPLE in Midlothian. Marla took me, as her guest, to the Moss on the James Luncheon at Crab Louie’s in Midlothian, VA this weekend. The restaurant was AMAZING. I was absolutely gasping at all of the antiques in the restaurant – I am sure glad that Marla doesn’t get annoyed at all of my OOOHING and AAAHING and picture taking. (I plain and simple just like to celebrate life and squeeze joy out of every moment!)

I was especially THRILLED to see an authentic pedal operated push stop organ just like the one that my grandparents had in their home on their farm in Green City, MO. I took a picture – I really just couldn’t believe it! I can remember sitting and playing that organ – many moons ago!!!

I knew that quilters were special people … and I always have fun with fellow scrapbookers – but who knew that P. Buckley Moss collectors were so awesome as well. AND I FOUND OUT THAT SOME OF THESE SPECIAL FOLKS ARE ALSO QVC SHOPPERS. Oh, did we EVER HAVE FUN talking about what we were wearing from QVC and what we had at home from QVC – and what we SHOULD BUY from QVC. Some of us used the same make up – and face cream – and bed sheets….LOL. My new bff, Gay, showed us some absolutely amazing scrapbook pages of her favorite guy! She is very talented and now I want a CRICKET!!! 🙂

One of the things that I like about P. Buckley Moss collectors is that they do nice things to help others. At the luncheon we drew names out of a bag to see who won the Moss print – all proceedings went to charities. I am happy to say that I DREW THE NAME OF THE WINNER…..that is almost as good as winning……almost…..:)

The food was great (I had the best crab cake that I have ever had and I had Bananas Foster TO DIE FOR for dessert!) I really had a memorable time – the people were so friendly and we laughed a lot – and I am happy to say that I joined the chapter. I love their name…..MOSS ON THE JAMES. I can’t wait until we go to THE BARN to have breakfast with P. Buckley Moss herself! There are lots of things to look forward to!

I took several pictures of SOME of the nice people there, the restaurant, the food and the drawing for the Moss print. One of the FUN PARTS of the luncheon was seeing all of the Moss jewelry that people were wearing. I am so happy to be a new member of the group. THANKS AGAIN MARLA!
