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)

Explanation

To everyone who has written, and to everyone to whom I have written, I have been in a funk for several weeks now, due to a couple of deaths and some personal matters.  I apologize for not posting photos, and for not writing.  I will be getting to it soon. 

Day #309

I sent so many things out today, it takes 3 photos...

These were orphaned postcards I was sent, 2 from Russia and one from Yosemite Park.  I wrote a message on them and sent them back.

These were two post-crossing cards and a card sent to our granddaughter.

I actually wrote 3 letters and the cowboy postcard was another one for Post-Crossing.

Incoming was gratifying too.

A post crossing card from Belarus, a lovely letter from a sponsored child in Kenya, and 3 postcards enclosed in that West End Review card, a Swap-Bot exchange.

Day #308

Again, I had good intentions to write, and actually got half of a letter written, but then came news that another friend had just died (the second long-term close friend this week) and that pretty much ended any chatty letter writing.

But it was a good feeling to get these incoming messages.

The envelope from Bonnie is from the orphan postcard project, with more postcards for me to write, there was a letter from my penpal in Germany, one from a penpal in So. Africa, and two Swap Bot cards.

Day #307

I had great plans to write this morning, but had an early morning get together with some friends and by the time I got home, the mail had already been picked up.  But this card came from a Swap-Bot mothers day exchange.

Day #306

I believe both of the postcards were for Swap Bot swaps.  The letter went to a pen pal.

The incoming were a mix of Post-crossing and Swap-Bot cards and a letter from my pen pal Kimi

Day #305

A good friend of ours died this morning.  I just couldn't find the desire to write a chatty pen pal latter.  But this was the incoming mail.

Loved the two letters from compassion kids--both were long, chatty letters.  The other envelope came from a Swap-Bot person.
