Some of my best friends are blogpals

No one can take to place of friends with whom you have a long, personal, in-person history, but blogpals can certainly become that kind of friend. And you get a head start with blogpals, because common interests almost always bring you together in the first place.

This week one of my blogpals suffered the unexpected and devastating loss of a treasured flock member. Not everyone can relate to that sentence; I can. Not only can I relate, I had the privilege of meeting this blogpal and this treasured flock member in person. (Wow, Sara, it's been over six years; when Brian was just a "lamb," not an obnoxious yearling ram – ha!)

Another blogger that I truly admire, although I can't take the liberty of calling her a pal, did a post this week that resonates with me. I belong to the closely related Sunrise Club; here are my dues from this morning:

Thankful for blogs, blogging, and blogpals at . . .

Oh gosh, I remember that trip to KY! Has it been that long that I've been following. So sorry to hear about sweet Graham. It so hard to lose them.
Great Sunrise/Sunset Club!

Thank-you, Nancy; I love starting the day with a gorgeous sunrise. :-)

The years fly, Theresa. Seems like WE should have been to meet in person ere this!

SIX YEARS!?!? Sigh... I really enjoyed that visit and remember how well Brian drove Handy. I've sure enjoyed watching him grow up :-).

Blogging truly does create a unique community.

What would we do without our blog pals?

I am sorry about the loss of a flock member; thankfully, I've only lost one sheep due to coyote attack and it was while I wasn't even in country.
