Day #94

Monday's outgoing


I added these to the batch I did on Sunday. They are a small gift for my cousin, a package for my son's new baby (due in September), a Swap-Bot package for a Dog/Puppy exchange, a Swap-bot postcard to Brasil, a letter to one of the Compassion kids, a response to someone who stumbled across this page and wrote to me, and a pen pal letter. Quite a variety this time!

...and Incoming...

2 Post-crossing postcards, the great hand made card from Linda at IUOMA, and two wonderful postcard orders from the Missive Maven

Day #91

I left the house at 5:30 a.m. today to drive to my mother's house, pick her up, and go with her to a funeral about 2 hours south of San Francisco. By the time I got home, it was after 9 p.m., so needless to say I did not write any outgoing mail today.

But incoming more than made up for it.


First there was the sad notification that my sponsored child Victor, in Bolivia, has been removed from the program. I'm sad about that.

Also in the mail were a card from a person in Oklahoma who found my name while looking for people who like to write letters and decided to write to me (ironically she lives in a town that I've actually visited in Oklahoma). There was a Swap-Bot postcard from someone listing for me things that make her happy. There was a Swap-Bot package filled with wonderful dog-themed things. And there was a letter from a pen pal in Florida.

A very nice way to return home from a funeral! (There was also a wonderful package of mail-related stuff that I ordered from The Frantic Meerkat)

Day #53

Looks like things are getting back to normal again. I had a wonderful letter from Fred, one of my Compassion children, postcrossing postcards from Taiwan and Belarus, and an envelope full of fun things from BookChick (Nancie) on sendsomething.


As for the outgoing mail, there was a terra cotta army send to Amanda, my soldier, and a terra cotta warrier to someone on sendsomething. I also answered a letter from pen pal Patsy, on stationery from the Kampinski Hotel in Guilan, China!
