He showed up in Minneapolis as a foreign exchange student my senior year! And he was creepy! But I have had lots of female pen pals over the years. Many kind of fade away, but I still occasionally write to a couple of them. Now I'll have eight new ones at once! LOL! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-54830748041505505452011-04-27T19:45:30.391-05:002011-04-27T19:45:30.391-05:00That letter thing sounds pretty nifty and fun.

I used to have a pen pal in Singapore when I was a kid but we just quit writing to each other one day and for the life of me I cant remember how we started writing in the first place, she was very nice though and a huge fan of Michael Jackson :o) I love all of those flowers you have and you have them so neatly arranged in that pretty box :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-3002489271141484342011-04-27T06:22:30.185-05:002011-04-27T06:22:30.185-05:00Serena--Been a rather dreary spring, I guess. Eit...Serena--Been a rather dreary spring, I guess. Either dreary or cold. but things are looking up. At least it's not as cold--LOL! ;)<br /><br />Well, with ten people in the circle letter...if I takes 1/2-1 week each you only get the big envelope every 5-10 weeks, so it shouldn't be too overwhelming. I would imagine at first people will answer more quickly, but that it might take them the full week later on. You know how busy people are. :)<br /><br />Having the flowers easier to get to, I've already made a card and sent it off. Forgot to even take a picture. It will work out just fine. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-52957426846015812652011-04-27T06:01:56.122-05:002011-04-27T06:01:56.122-05:00It certainly does look like you've had some dr...It certainly does look like you've had some dreary weather up your way. We've had some rain here and there but also some hot and humid days.<br /><br />I had never heard of circle letters either. It sounds like fun but I doubt I'd be able to keep up. I am looking forward to hearing more about your experience with them tho.<br /><br />That is a lot of flowers! I'm sure it will work okay but, as you mentioned, at least they will be easier to get to. :)Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-1348078375692204312011-04-26T21:41:54.081-05:002011-04-26T21:41:54.081-05:00Tori--I saw them when I was snooping around online...Tori--I saw them when I was snooping around online thinking about pen pals again. I saw them called Tape Pals and Voice Pals. My aunt and I used to do that years ago before we had internet when I moved away to Wisconsin for several years. Takes a while to get used to talking to yourself, but it is fun! :)<br /><br />Deanna--I hope we are done with snow now, but you never know. I heard about the tornadoes and bad storms across the south. Such crazy weather! Glad you're okay. :)<br />Circle letters are new to me, too. I'll report. ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-79305434699271441572011-04-26T10:36:40.205-05:002011-04-26T10:36:40.205-05:00It seems it has been lousy weather everywhere. I ...It seems it has been lousy weather everywhere. I cannot imagine looking out and still seeing snow. We've had terrible storms here in Missouri. I guess that is all part of the changing seasons.<br /><br />I've never heard of circle letters. It does sound like a lot of fun. I can't wait to hear about the rest of the experience.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137773126591638229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-52254798814357796802011-04-26T08:12:47.263-05:002011-04-26T08:12:47.263-05:00Really?

In fact, we enjoy that very process and are good at recycling what we don't want for ourselves. I went thru old art supplies of Leah's sister's a while back and that is where the one empty wooden box with the dividers came from that I just used to store the small paper flowers. And I just used the other wooden box from Ariel last night for my fountain pens (I'll post pictures next time I blog). We repurpose, too. ;)<br /><br />There are some pen pals who do recorded letters back and forth on cassettes. You might want to check into that if you have an old cassette player/recorder. Just an idea. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-70382610705265474322011-04-25T15:17:55.532-05:002011-04-25T15:17:55.532-05:00Sorry you've had such rubbish weather. :(
You...Sorry you've had such rubbish weather. :(<br /><br />You guys would have hated my card making supplies box then. Apart from little things like stickers and stuff, everything was in together. I had a couple of boxes, but it was a case of start looking whenever I wanted to find something. I did plan on sorting through the stuff, but... Well, I never got to it, and then I gave the stuff away (I know for a fact it's not getting used; wish I'd known you then, you'd have used and appreciated it all!)<br /><br />The circle letters thing sounds really fun! If it was an option for me to do so, I'd love to do something like that.Torizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965005679599352165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-28057299268715093592011-04-25T10:47:55.516-05:002011-04-25T10:47:55.516-05:00Iggy--Ha!

Going to be sleeping during the day today with the bedroom window open! :) Nice!!<br /><br />B--Yes! I've always handwritten letters and have been making cards regularly for about 20 years. Can't imagine not putting pen to paper. ;) It will be fun to meet the new ladies, for sure! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-37401611375186450932011-04-25T09:23:01.743-05:002011-04-25T09:23:01.743-05:00I write letters!

All of the sunrise services would have been pretty nice as far as weather goes. A bit chilly, but at least it wasn't raining. Rain is on it's way again, tho. I wish we could send our rain and wet weather to Texas where they desperately need it. Our ground is pretty much saturated, too.<br /><br />Wow, you do have a lot of flowers. All shapes, sizes, and colors. :)<br /><br />The circle letter sounds neat. Never heard of it before. I can tell you're a bit excited. :)<br /><br />Time for me to get ready for church.

I can imagine you and Leah putting them on wooden stems and when no one if looking, "decorating" that muddy field with thousands of them - wouldn't that be a sight.<br /><br />It looks so dreary up your way - (its been rainy here too) one has to take more time, and cover less ground - or end up stuck in a mud puddle!Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.com
