Off to Philadelphia!

I had plans to visit Boston this summer but it was too costly so no one could afford to go with me. So I've resulted in staying local and just doing a few day trips. In a few weeks I'll be off to Philadelphia which is equally as cool as Boston but way closer, about 45 minutes by car.
The plan is to drive down to the nearest train station and take the train down. There is no way in heck that I'm driving on I-95. No way in heck! We'll get off at the Market St train station. The rest has yet to be planned but I'm going to make sure we go to the B. Free Franklin post office and get postcard postmarked there. So, if you would like a postcard from Philadelphia with this awesome postmark e-mail me your address! I'm e-mail is elfscuz at yahoo.com. I'll tell you more details later when I get everything planned!

New Address

If you look over to the left column. You'll notice that my address has changed. I chose to close my P.O. Box because of the hassle it was becoming and that you can never see cars coming when they are cars parked along the side of the road. So, if you have sent out a letter to me already, I'll receive it. So don't worry. All of my correspondents will receive a postcard or note about my address change.
In other news, I finished and sent one of the letter that turned up a few weeks ago so hopefully it'll be well received.

Tucking Things Away

I've noticed that I have this very bad habit of tucking things away when I can't finish them. Recently I've found two unfinished letters. One is for a Denise which I had already written an envelope for and a Vicki which I have not address for but an almost finished letter.
If you are either of these people, I'm so sorry for the delayed response! And Vicki, please contact me so I can get your address!

Ugh...

I haven't been doing that much letter writing lately and I don't know why! I just can't seems to sit down an concentrate. Letter are flowing in my mailbox as much as they were as a result I'm cancelling my mailbox in June. I'll send all of my correspondents my home address. This is also because my conviant post office isn't very easy to get in and out of.

In other news, I'll be heading to Peace Valley Park for a nice bike ride soon and am hoping that the nature center gift shop has some postcards!

Daily Mail: Outgoing

Here's my first outgoing mail in a long while.

To Becky the Snail Mailer. It has a recipe which I hope she either tries or pass along. She's a fellow flexitarian although she leans more towards vegetarianism. The recipe is for Chicken Pitas with Yogurt Dill sauce. It's super yummy. If anyone wants it I'll send one via snail mail to you. Just contact me at elfscuz @ yahoo.com with your name and address.

Sammie over at Box 332. The bird stamp I got on clearance at Joann's for $2. Well, worth it!

A letter to my high school buddy that lives in Montana written on super cute stationary that I found at a thrift shop (to be featured in upcoming post).

Postcard to Ilona the Missive Maven who recently lost her cat, Memo. Just sending my sentiments to her and her remaining cat,Soda.

A letter in the works for Rita who sent me a postcard a month ago. It didn't seem like that long ago!

Back in Business

I sort of took February off from blogging because my hours increased from part time to full time hours. Thankfully, I think, my hours are back to normal and I have A LOT more time on my hands! I've received dozens of things and even a postcard or two which I will share later when I get my camera back in order. I need to format the memory card. Ugh...
