I live in a very isolated part of north-east Québec, Canada. I am the only mailartist in the area....La Gaspésie. The closest mailartist is an 8 hour drive away. I retired from a career in Education because of a major burn-out. I grew up in the Gaspésie by the Sea and retired there near family members. "The Sea is my mother."
GREAT pictures Wilma, I can almost smell the spume.
It's wonderfully warm here (duck) Spring has given way to summer already (dodge) but it is so dry (no rain in a month) I have to spend the days chasing the thirsty camels of me allotment garden.
Thanks in advance. While on a creative level everything is OK my body is failing me more and more, age I guess, I have trouble sleeping and have to wear a mask during the night.
I'm not getting notifications from ning, so it was purely by chance I read your threats! Don't blame me!!! I was still part of the original mud when those froggies and the brit imperialists wuz slugging it out. Still dust dry here, send us a bucket of that flood water there's a friend!~)
I thought to check the bling... ning site to see if there was a message even though I received no no non oon on notifivcation and there was the message from your good self. I'm glad you also are not being notified I was beginning to take it personally... ning doesn't like me!~( Was it something I said? Is it because I'm old? Is it because I don't think Obama is a muslim? What have you got against bird watchers? etc.
Tell you what Wilma, why don't you shout at them ningjers, scare the pants off them... it worked against the postmen remember, them posties is still leaping into their shaking sacks every time you clear your throat.
I'll drop an email to Ruud and see what he can do.
...or shall we creep back into that oer-mud and pretend we never was?
Yes we did. It was brilliant bird watching, I'll send the list to your email address

i posted the picture of Bin Laden because news of his death had begun a flurry of new mass media buzz about "terrorists." I feel it is important to remind people of how our rights were stripped from us last time this happened.

it's not democratic enough!
that is kind of my point.
i fear things will slip away from the people if we don't grasp on for dear life to the freedoms we have.

Thank you for the lovely postcard - the red canoe reminds me of those seen on the lakes and rivers in the Adirondacks, in New York State, where I spent many childhood summers. The blues in the sea are just like those on th sandbar in Tampa Bay, just a block from where I live now...amities! Jim.

Oh yes, I remember that now. Glad you are back. I am not really that active here anymore. I've got some dreadful physical challenges to deal with these days (bad kidneys).

Happy New Year my friend and don't forget to have some fun! Cheers, Test

Nice to hear from you. Yes, That ol' Cottonpicker and I are doing a lot better these days. I'm on dialysis and feeling so much more normal now having my blood nice and clean. My kidneys have completely conked out. Ah well, 2 years before transplant - and I will have no more problems. It will be nice to be a regular human again! Cheers, Test

Hi Wilma!!!
I'm giving a short interview about the “mail art” for a PDF catalog of mail art, which will publish soon in http://esserci-senza-esserci.blogspot.com.
Could you please answer these two questions (in French):
(send: esserci-senza-esserci@hotmail.it)
1) What mean the mail art in your life?
2) How you knew the mail art?
Thanks you, hug for you!!! =))
