Online Friends!

Did that catch your attention?  I hope so!  To those who don’t have an ‘online life’ that statement won’t mean a lot.  But to me, it means everything.  Being ill much of the time gives me a lot of ‘down time’.  I love my ‘real life’ friends and we will always be bestest friends, but they are busy and even though we moved back to Southern California, we are still over 60 miles away from my best friend Denise and her sister Eloda, who lives nearby to Denise.  They are busy, working, going to school, still raising kids and I don’t feel so much like I am a bother, but my life is just real different right now and it is what it is!  But hoping as I feel better, and with Fibro I have times its real bad and times not so much..I will be able to spend more time with my hometown girls.

I warn you now, this is going to be a loooong post.

That said, I am so very blessed to have met some awesome and wonderful ladies online.  The world is so full of wonderful people and I am so lucky to have met a few of them!  I spent the summer meeting a few..

First, I flew to Pittsburgh and met Shelly and her doggy Watson..

 

Along with Fran, another mutual friend they picked me up at the airport and we had a wonderful dinner at Longhorn Steak house and wonderful to spend some time with Fran!

We then drove to New Jersey to meet Anne a sweet mom of twins and it was like we had all known each other for years!

 

Auntie Shel and the twins, and Watson!

Had a great, fast paced week and these gals ROCK!♥

Then a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet sweet Beverly.  Beverly is a blogger who lives a couple hours from me and was visiting her friends gift shop in Long Beach.  Carl drove me down there so I could meet her.

Beverly is a master quilter and seamstress..I think she can do about anything..Anyway, she is a wife, mom and grandma and a sweet lady..Stop over and say hi to her at My Sew Sweet Studio and thank you Beverly for allowing me to get to know and be friends with you!♥

Then today I got to meet Parsley of Seasons of my Mind.  Hubs drove us up to Hesperia to In N Out Burger to meet Parsley and her sweet daughter, hubby and dogs!  It was so great to meet them and again, my faith in humanity is encouraged..there ARE good folks out there.

This is Snuffy and Mariposa~

This is Melody, Parsley rescued her from the middle of a road in July, she was never claimed..what a sweetie..she found a hiding place in their trailer, lol..What a sweet face!

Thank you Parsley for stopping to meet us..♥

Anyway, as you can see, all my friends keep us going, from my in person girlfriends, to my online friends.

I am just going with what’s on my mind right now, I do have more to write about online friendships, but that’s for another day..

Treasure your friends, old and new, in person and online.  Life is short..Make the most of each day!
