A steemian Rendez-vous in Annecy, France with....

in #friendship7 years ago (edited)

Hello my beloved Steeminions !!

As stated yesterday, we have met a wonderful Steemian yesterday for a breakfast in a bistrot in my city Annecy, and now it's time to reveal his identity...

It's a man, a gentleman, and he was with his kind daughter coming back from a ski week at La Plagne, driving his camper Knut on the way back to Luxembourg....he is....he is....

Yesss ! It is Patrick @pipurilla who is so well known here through the community, especially the former Tsu crew...! ^_^

the person who photographed us here is the owner of the picturesque bistro l'Estaminet where we had a coffee with some pastries ... A very kind person that we probably amused when he realized that we were having a meeting in company of a garden gnome, and offered to photograph us so that we are all together on the picture ;-)

**********

Patrick is the kindest person on earth, and I want to give you some details about our friendship :

* we have "met" us on the internet place named Tsu in 2015,

which is a platform that no longer exists, but where we ended to have a solid clan of beautiful people like @dswigle, @lenasveganliving, @melinda010100 @tattoodjay @ackhoo and many many more

* we have already met us "in real" in my city Annecy in 2016

here is what I wrote in a previous post about @pipurilla

Patrick came to Annecy a few years ago, when we met on Tsu,
he took advantage of one of his trips to the south of France to make a small stop in Annecy with his adorable wife, his dog Mia and their camper Knut
We spent very little time together unfortunately, but it was enough for me to judge the genuine kindness, joy of life and generosity of this sweet guy!

* The also very important thing for me is that Patrick is the person who told me about Steemit,

he convinced me without real resistance on my part because I trust Patrick :
if he tells me that a place is good and he thinks that I'm going to feel good and bloom there, so yes, I go for it ...!

It is thanks to him that I got here on Steemit ^_^

Patrick didn't met @luigi-the-gnome last time in Annecy, so my Luigi was very excited to meet Signore Pipu and his daughter Emmeli and wanted to offer them a gift

As Patrick is a fan of my art, over the years he bought bookmarks and my book "the enchanted bestiary" , I let him choose his favourite painting through all my available collection, and apparently, Emmeli and Patrick agreed on this painting that you recently saw on this post She, and her Bunny ...Collage on painting

So luigi offered in our both name the painting to the Pfefferle family ^_^

We were really delighted to meet a second time our friend @pipurilla and are very grateful that they took the time to make a stop in Annecy ! ^_^

I'm also grateful to Life for the wonderful people I meet, being in RL or on the internet,

I'm very selective with the vibrations I let enter into my life and

I allow nothing less than joyful, kind, playful, respectful, imaginative, funny, delightful, childlike, fancy and whimsical energy to enter my life

so if you are a part of it, it's undoubtedly that you have the matching vibs ;-)
Thank you all my Lovelies who are part of my journey !

That was a great Steemit-mini-meetup in Annecy, yesterday!
I was so happy to meet my dear friend Luigi (finally) and my wonderful friend Barbara. Despite the rainy weather, we passed a great time together, Barbara and Luigi picking us at the camper park at Annecy!
As Barbara wrote, we had breakfast in that beautiful Belgian-style bar, followed by a short sight seeing tour in the old town of Annecy.
I think, it was not the last stop on Annecy and I hope, Barbara and Luigi will visit us in Luxembourg soon (we have a beautiful city as well).
Btw: We promised to take Luigi to the Skiing holidays in La Plagne next time - he was delighted. I hope we will find a pair of skiers fitting for him. 😃

I am more and more contemplating the idea of visiting Luxembourg my dear ! ^_^
It's definitely not the last time we will met together ! ;-)

That's good to hear, Barbara! Looking forward to the next meeting! :)

Oh, that is so exciting! What a most wonderful meeting!

It was indeed, Denise! Thank you so very much, my friend! :)

thank you ! ^_^

Oh!! I am so late to the party! Hello, Patrick!!! I am so happy that he and Emmeli got to stop and see you and Luigi the Gnome. I can only imagine how excited Luigi was, out for coffee and sweets and meeting the Pfefferle family.

Tell the truth! Does Patrick ever not smile?!! He has the most beautiful smile and he uses it all the time. A full-size Gnome! I swear!

It is not without a tad bit of jealousy that I look at these pictures and know that it was, indeed a wonderful day in the life of @Barbara-Orenya You are so kind to gift the good Pfefferle family. Another set of your art to be passed on and on.

I know you had a wonderful time. I send you hugs and kisses from Washington, DC and I must say that you had a most beautiful day!

Upped and Steemed Tip!! Bisous! Bisous!

Waves to Patrick and Emmeli !!

Thank you so very much for these kind word, dear Denise!

Bisous and XOXO to you! :)

Oh GREAT!!!
Love you guys!
Big hug
Steemitri!

I am happy you guys met! Keep Steem on!

Oh!! I want to be there, too!! Sending love and hugs to all! Luigi does look pleased with himself that he got to join you. Lucky gnome.❤💕❤

Yes we were all happy and so was Luigi also ! ;-) Have a wonderful Sunday Melinda ! ^_^

Great to see that many TSU friendships stay longer as the social network exists.

Thanks for reminding me to use the #TsuFamily tag again.

yes it's great and makes me think that Tsu was a first step to prepare us to Steemit ;-) It bounded us together and made us arrive stronger and more confident, already used to the social game and the supporting each other to succeed ^_^

Fully agree. Do you as well know Empire:Avenue or Empire.Kred?

Not at all...what is it ?

I used this before TSU and it is someway still alive....

a platfrom where you get traded as a stock by your activity in social media

But no reason to use it nowadays

WOOOW Basiu wonderful Rendez-vous. Who is that handsome guy ? :)))

I am very happy for both of you and the little beautiful Lady. Kisses to Luigi who is my inspiration :)

Haha thank you my dear ! If you come to France you will be welcome to Annecy ;-) Hugs ! (and kisses back from Luigi-the-Wise )

I will keep his kisse in my special pocket till I’ll get to France one day and give them back. Have a wonderful day my dear.
