A few days ago, Estelle, who with Steve, owns the Art Box which I manage, brought me a card from her post box. It was from my dear friend, Penny (here) in Canada. She has never omitted to send me a Christmas card since we met in Kenya, in 2011.
What a beautiful card with an even more beautiful and welcome bookmark inside.
What a blessing to be remembered by blogger friends.
Many of my blogger friends, also visit Penny's blog. If you haven't yet. do click on the link above . Penny travels to Africa every two to three years and in between she subscribes to assisting the underprivileged people in rural Kenya.
Penny and I met online soon after we'd both started blogging about 11 years ago. We "clicked" and have communicated via the blog comments, e-mail, messenger on Facebook and on Whatsap ever since.
In 2011, on one of Penny's trips to Kenya, and while Grant and I lived in Kenya, she and I met in Nakuru which lies 20 miles south of the Equator.
I love being part of Blogger and love the friends I've made here. I find it much more personal than Facebook and hope get to visiting you all again.
HAVE A HAPPY THURSDAY!
Hello, I do visit Penny's blog. It is great you two were able to meet. The card is pretty. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteNice story Jo. It was near Nakuru that we stood along the Equator line all those years ago.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same wahy about blog friends, my problem is I don't travel at all, no more than 10 miles from home... so nice of Penny to send the card and I know you enjoyed your visit in 2011. I have met 3 bloggers, as they were passing by 10 miles from my house, and we met at different times and years at Cracker Barrel for lunch or breakfast
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise to recieve in the mail. It's the little things that make life fun. Have a lovely evening Jo.
ReplyDeleteI have been so grateful for the warmth, the wonder and the friendship I have found in the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome ... your friendship over the years!
ReplyDeleteVery good of her!
ReplyDeleteBogging is a wonderful thing and I have met so many great people. I have friends that I've never met face to face but think the world of.
ReplyDeleteI much prefer blogging to Facebook, in fact I deleted my Facebook account a few months.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with you, Blogging friends are great.
ReplyDeleteI am happy about my blogfriends too and they are living in all corners of the world ! I would say a Blog is something completely different (and more demanding too) as this stupid Facebook, where people fight or insult each other. I am member in Facebook because of Dario he published pictures of Toby in the beginning, but now not anymore. I am member of Facebook "Vivre à Waterloo" which is very nice because I know then what happens in my town and we meet also live !
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I do love blogging and all the people and adventures it has brought.
ReplyDeleteHello dear friend, so glad the all arrived! I'm in Kenya right now and I'll be here for another week or so.So much to do and I'm running out of time. I hope I'll be able to accomplish what I need to do. Love you my dear.
