It started with just following each others posts and responding to peoples as well.
Then I read a book and offered it to a mylot friend here.
I got to send it to her. I must have given her my phone number and she kept it.
I had a procedure done on friday and have not spent a lot of time on the computer getting myself back together.
Tonight I got the most wonderful surprise!
This friend here from mylot called and wanted to know how I am feeling.
This sincerely does show you do make friends that last in mylot and even the little kindnesses we bestow on others makes for for a heartfelt day everywhere!
Now I will send her another book to read LOL
But it was wonderful to put a voice along with the writings we do.
So I am honored to indeed tell her that I do indeed include her as a real friend to me!

You are very lucky. Finding friends is like receiving blessings from the Lord. I love reading books as well and I also received a book from an unknown friend. It's good when you use the internet for making friends. It is bad if social networks are used to spread malicious wares.
You did a good job. This is a reward of conversing with people online. See you around mylot.

Thanks Snow. I try to get to know a few people personally. I am an only child and both my parents have passed so not much of a family left.
While I have children they all live elsewhere except my one son. If he ever leaves to go off on his own I will really be lonely (hubby either works eats or sleeps
) So I have to depend on my little machine for entertainment.
you have a wonderful day.

That's just plain out AWESOME! It brings a smile to my face to read such things and know that there are good people still out there that can make true connections. :) Hope he/she enjoys the other book as much as the first one!

Thank you for the kind words. It was nice to hear a voice on your end also. Getting to know people and making new friends is just one of the many things I like about MyLot. I hope to talk to you again in the future! I will be anxious to receive another book. I think I told you that I enjoyed the last one very much. I have been having a little trouble responding to your post today or I would have replied sooner. I guess most people are having problems with the site and management has been contacted, so it should be fixed soon.

Marylynn wrote me an email and said she was having trouble getting in too. I must have missed that day. Since my incident over the procedure I am just trying to get over all of it.
You are most welcome.
I have to get packages ready to ship so I will get your next book ready.
this one will be quite different from the first one for sure.
I bet your mother would enjoy reading this one and much easier to follow than the other one. I just love history and that was such an awesome book with all the added notes lots of research was done.
have a good day I am trying to catch up on mylot here.

Aww that is so nice that you sending another mylot member a book started a friendship between you. I am afraid if talking to strangers so until now I havent gotten to friendly with any mylotters. How sweet your mylot friend called you like that. What a wonderful surprise for you. I talked on the phone tonight to a mylot friend. It was definitely nice to put voice to the person I read posts of all the time. We had a nice chat on the phone.
