One Child Policy Homeschool

• May 17, 2008 - Meeting Blogging Friends

Posted in Travels
I have met (IRL -- in real life) two of my blog readers! Deanne and Beth are both American, homeschool mom, bloggers who live in Hong Kong. Deanne blogs at Robertson Tribe Updates. And Beth blogs at Beautiful Feet on the Mountains. Since you enjoy glimpses into living overseas, then visit their fascinating blogs!

When they read on my blog that I was in Hong Kong, they contacted me about meeting! What a blessing they were to me! Here I am with Deanne. She is an amazingly smart and adaptable woman with four adorable children. Sprite had a great time playing with them.



She totally took me under her wing, taking me to church, inviting me to a great performance by the Watoto Children's Choir, cooking a meal for me, including me in her homeschool group and mom's group meetings, and just being a friend! We even went to Disney together. Thanks, Deanne.

Beth cooked an amazing Mexican meal, all homemade, accompanied by a fabulous pumpkin cake -- her original creation! She's a very crafty mom of one adorable little girl Miss K. Beth took me to Spotlight to browse around the most fabulous craft shop I've seen outside of America! I didn't know stores like that existed in Asia -- fabric, buttons, costumes, yarn, punches, scrapbooking, everything!!  She really knows how to make a friend happy -- CRAFTS. Thanks, Beth! Your friendship really means a lot to me!

I never knew that blogging would open doors to real life friends! I assumed that being so far away in China, I'd only have online friendships. But God has blessed me with two new friends not too terribly far away. We already have plans to meet again on our next trip to Hong Kong.

I am looking forward to checking out their blogs. I met several bloggers last August when I visited my family in Washington state. I enjoyed meeting them very much.

I have met two blogging buddies in the states last Christmas when we were there, and I have met a few of the UK bloggers. One when I went to London for a Homeschoolers day and one just a couple weeks ago in Manchester! Such fun to actually meet people who you already know so well! A bit like meeting a long time penpal I guess!

Sounds like a nice and special time for you with them both. Isn't God good? :o)

That is so awesome! I remember from when I lived in Germany what an amazing blessing it was to connect with someone from the U.S. I felt so anchored then...

Hi!! You were kind and didn't tell about how lost we got driving to Spotlight. I am making my Spotlight list waiting for you to come back.

What an amazing blessing!

Online stuff can be a blessing and a curse. Glad to see it has been blessing your life!

About Me

~^~Homeschooling my only child with a somewhat Charlotte Mason approach and a healthy dose of lapbooks, crafts, and field trips. ~^~Showcasing my photography hobby by sharing images of life in China. ~^~Why "One Child Policy Homeschool"? I happen to have an only child, and I live in China. It is just my attempt at a witty name for the blog.
