Out of order

I have a ton of incoming mails to photograph, but I can't hold off on this one any longer.  This may be the fanciest letter I've ever received, from Melissa in Minnesota.  I was blown away when I opened it, May 31.  I hope to be answering it today.

Are you there, Karl?

I received this from a Grandpa named Karl, who gave no information as to how he came to send it to me.  I can't find him on SwapBot or Post-Crossing.  Karl, if you're there, please drop me an e-mail to basykes@dcn.org and identify yourself...and thank you for the cute card!

Guys, I am so behind on posting income and outgoing mail.  I really do hope to get caught up.  Someday!

I joined a SwapBot swap where we had to send one "free" card, some sort of advertising card.  Someone had come into the book store this week to drop off a bunch of these cards, so I decided to choose this one.

And then in the mail were these two post-crossing cards (both from China), and an envelope with 3 cards in it from a Swap Bot person,.

I sent postcards of 4-legged animals to 3 different Swap Bot people, wrote a business letter of sorts, and sent a note to a nice person who had contacted me, out of the blue, from my address on this sitw.

Hopefully this puts me back on track again, with things I sent today...

There were two Post-crossing people who liked children's illustrations (one was a toddler).  And the Ira Gershwin envelope went to a pen pal.

This was incoming today.

 

There was a Mothers Day card from my sister-in-law, a postcard from Swap-Bot, and a letter from my penpal, with a photo of her twins.

From YOU

Here are the things that have come through the mail lately...with my apologies for not answering a lot of them yet...

 These postcards are all from a Swap Bot "National Postcard Week" swap, a new postcard every day from the same person.  I love the variety!

 

This is a Postcrossing card, a letter from the Netherlands, a mother's day card from Canada, a change of address ostcard, and 5 postcards from a SwapBot swap.

 

Two Postcrossing cards, one SwapBot card, an enclosure card from a Swap Bot "exchange something interesting" and two pen pal letters (one was sent twice!)

My Mother's Day cards--from 8 month old Lacie, from 4 year old Brianna, and from 46 year old Jeri!

 

 I think the card are all Postcrossing, there were Compassion letters (4 of them all together), and a couple of pen pal letters

 

These are all Postcrossing cards.

OK...here we go

\I'm trying to get caught up on the last week or so of mail, in and out.  These are the things I have sent out. As you can see, I've done a good job with sending out postcards, not such a good job sending letters.  I can't even remember most of where these cards went.

 

 

This batch includes a letter to President Obama, congratulating him on his

support of gay marriage, and assuring him he had my vote (which I will cast proudly)
