My sweet friend, Penny

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!

  3. I 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

  10. I 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 !
