“So this morning I called a friend (yes I do have friends...that do not live in my computer)”
This is how Kelly began an entry yesterday, and it gave me an idea. Then today I read Bea’s, Donna’s, Lisa's, and Kate's entries about why they read their favorite journals/blogs, and that kind of went along with my idea.
You see, I have really come to enjoy my J-land friends, visiting them and their families, sharing in their joys and sorrows, laughing at their jokes and stories, and sighing over their disappointments. (But they do live in my computer.)
J-land has become another extension of my own life and my own family, and I like visiting it whenever the spirit moves me. And, unlike my real life and my real family, I can open or close the door on J-Land whenever it suits me (because it exists in my computer).
I have never had the opportunity to visit any of my J-land friends in person, so I thought I would do so virtually; not just by visiting their journals, but by taking a virtual trip around the world and writing about what I imagine my visit would be like – what we would do, where we would go, and what we would see, as I visit, one by one, the people I have come to know in J-land. So if you comment here or if I comment in your journal, be expecting a “visit” from me sometime in the near future. I’ll write about a few visits at a time, and I won’t have them in any particular order.
(I am easy to entertain, so don’t go to any trouble or make any special plans for me, okay?) See you soon!
P.S. Be sure to visit the links above to see why these ladies enjoy reading journals, and then leave a link to your own entry if you do one!

You're welcome to our pasture anytime but just remember there is no bathroom you have to pee behind the cactus. Paula

Put me on your virtual road map... I want you to come visit me too. This sounds a lot like when Flat Scalzi came visiting. It was fun having him here in my house, in my yard, and in my classroom. I even made a shirt for him when he got here. I look forward to your visit. Let me know about when you'll be coming so I can put on some tea and warm up the muffins! My dogs will love you! Bea
I know I am new to Jland but don't forget little old me over here in The English Lakes. I will take you out and about to visit Wordsworth's Cottage, Ruskin House, Beatrix Potter's Home, all not far from me, and of course all the local Arts and Crafts studios and historical sites. Oh! As well as take you on a tour of the Lakes of which there are many! At the end of the day we can sit by our little Koi pond and listen to the running water and birdsong whilst drinking a glass of wine or two. Bon Voyage!
(p.s. I would have to have a party to introduce you to all my 'real' friends. I have those too.....Lol!)

Still thinking about that subject myself, Lori. Hope you'll call round this side of the Atlantic ;-)
Lori, what a great idea! :o) And thank you for the mention as well. ;o) I'm here in Ohio with open arms to you always! :o) This is going to be fun! :o) I love this idea!
Lisa
Well, Lori, I want to throw my name in the hat for a virtual visit from you. I just had a real life visit from a J-Lander, Jeannette. She and her friend Andy came to Savannah and we were able to have a day together. We had a great time. I am sure your virtual visit will be enjoyable, too.

Shafer, Minnesota...just outside the twin cities of St. Paul/Minneapolis. Used to live in Fargo, ND...yup, the same one from that movie.
God Bless!

Just found your journal today and found it enchanting. I love the graphics as well. I hope you will stop by and visit me as well here in Texas.

How cool! I can't wait to read your travels.

A virtual visit huh?? I'm looking forward to it!! I loved this post. I have found my world which had grown considerably smaller with my deafness, opened up and found friends from all over the world through my own journal. (Hugs) Indigo
I think you hit the nail on the head about J-land. Special people. You can enjoy them all you want whenever you want. Or you can enjoy quiet alone time without hurting any feelings. - Barbara
Lori,
What a fun way to exercise your brain. I can't wait.
Smiles,
David
