One of the great benefits of blogging has been the people I’ve “met” – people who found From the Front Porch and read, look, comment and email. I’m not sure that I have words to describe what it feels like when someone shares a common experience or an appreciation of the writing and photography here, but I can tell you that it brings me great joy.
But I’m not the only one who has made good friendships via the blog.
Karl has a special friend in Florida – Bob Blackburn. Bob wanted to do something special for Karl.
The treats arrived this week. There was much excitement as the package was sniffed and I told Karl that there was something for him from his special friend.
Oh, boy!
Both treats have been possessed and are currently being guarded carefully.
Bob, Karl says: “Thank you very much for the good treats and please come visit and bring more!”
