Well, I finally got home and settled back in from my amazing journey to Idaho! This was such a wonderful experience, and I made memories and friends that will last a lifetime. The entire O'Hara family welcomed us all with open arms and opened the door to their beautiful home and property. It was as if I simply reconnected with a long lost friends, rather than meeting for the very first time. There's just something about farmgirls that words just cant describe, you just have to experience it firsthand. I am Blessed beyond belief to be able to take these glamping trips and meet up with so many wonderful gals! AND I still can't believe that I actually had breakfast with Mary Jane and Megan! What a treat! Thank you to Kathy and family, CJ, Robin,Mary Jane, Megan and all of the amazing farmgirls I met. WOW. Below are some photos of my amazing journey... This is CJ, Robin and I (and of course Bramble girl!)

As you can see in each and every photo- the smiles never leave our faces. We are constantly enjoying each others company filled with laughter and are surrounded by each others warm friendships. Farmgirl Sisters are AMAZING! Hugs,

Laurie, How wonderful. The pictures say a 1000 words, and all the smiles!!!! You are so lucky to be able to go glamping from such a distance. It is on my bucket list, but will not be able to for at least 2 years yet. Thank you for posting the pictures and am glad you made it home safe and sound. Some day I will get to meet you also.

I am so happy that you were able to attend the great glamping trip in Idaho! The photos just say it all!! Great memories and friends. I will be visiting Idaho the end of July and I cannot wait. Kellie and I will be spending a few days together and we are planning a trip to Coeur d'Alene where we are hoping to meet Mary Jane. Your photos just make me more and more excited! Whoop!!

Thank you Alicia, it was so amazing! Winnie- YES! Kellie and I were talking about your upcoming visit. You are just going to LOVE Idaho, and spending time with Kellie. She is so warm and friendly, and I was tickled pink to have had the chance to spend some time with her and Tasha. And of course meeting Mary Jane, well, need I say more? This was definitely a trip brimming with laughter, good times, new friendships and all while being surrounded by the natural beauty of Idaho. Enjoy your trip!!! And please give Kellie and Tasha and Mary Jane a big farmgirl hug from me! Hugs,

Kellie, I hope to make it back someday in the not too distant future. CJ, yes, I did manage a photo of Bonnie, but can't believe that I did not get ONE picture of Kathy and I!!! I am upset about that, but at least I have my memories of her hospitality and kindness. What a great trip this was! Hugs,

Nice pictures! I agree about meeting fellow farmgirls for the first time, it does seem like you've known them already!

Hi Laurie~~ Yes, I will be sure to give Kellie, Tasha, and Mary Jane a hug from you ! It all seems sort of surreal at the moment that I am actually going to be in Coeur d'Alene in a few more weeks. But I have my ticket with Delta, my rental car booked, and my lodging secured so I know it is not a dream!! Our agenda is already full of so many things I want to see that I know the time will fly by in the blink of an eye. We won't be glamping, but instead staying at a B&B in Sand Point which will be fun! Kellie will be in charge of taking photos which we promise to post here to share. I am so happy that it all worked out for you to go to Idaho! The photos everyone shared and the stories are just priceless!!

Thank you Diane, Winnie, Jenne, and Sharon. It was awesome for sure. AND- I am so thankful that we can all come HERE and have a "virtual" get together too! The fact that we can share stories and pictures with one another is so much fun- even across the miles from all the different parts of the country. Hugs,

Kathy, I was the one Blessed to meet you and your wonderful family! You opened your heart and your home as if we had known each other forever. I am so happy to have my farmgirl friends. Its something you can't quite explain to others who don't "get it".
Margo- Hmmm.....I've been blonde my whole life- however I did darken my hair about 3 years ago for a short time- maybe that's what you are thinking of? LOL, Hugs,

Thanks so much Nini! We truly had such a great time. Kathy and her family were amazing, and just getting to meet so many other farmgirls and getting to re-connect with CJ and Robin was the best! I'm dreaming that one day we can ALL have a HUGE glamping trip together! Hugs,
