Blogging friends

I've had a blogging friend for several years, Allie. I won't give your her url, because her blog is private. (She has young children and became worried about their safety after someone was continually lurking.) We became friends after she won a necklace I offered as part of One World One Heart. We also have a common bond of being cops wives. I received an email from her this week saying that she needed to talk to me about being a police wife. I sent her my phone number. She sent another email, telling me what the problem was, and it was huge. I responded, and yesterday she called.

It was so great talking to her. Because we've been blog friends for so long, it was just like talking to any other old friend. I could ask about her Mom, her kids and husband, and call them by name, amazing; and she knew all about what we'd been up to and asked after Bob. Some day we'll meet IRL, too.

This Saturday, I'm having a meet-up with a new blog friend, Darlene. We're going to go to a quilt fabric store, or two, in the San Diego area. It'll be fun, I'm sure and I'll probably do a post about it. She will be the 3rd blogger I've met IRL, the others are Katney and Mary T., both wonderful blog friends.
