Unusual experience yesterday, opening the mailbox to one (1) priceless envelope resting there. No bills, no direct mail, nothing but this one envelope. Apologies for the drama, see for yourself. Painted and collaged page from a book. Enough said. Thank you Nancy. Really, really like this.…

Thank you Nancy for this piece.  As you can see, someone opened it to try to get all the money, but the French La Poste was there to save the day.

Yes, this will come in handy if I am ever in the USA.  And if I am, I'll make sure I buy you something with it.  I'll go to one of those 99 cent stores.  You know the ones, the ones where everything costs 99 cents, but when you check out, it costs $1.07.  Why don't the call it the $1.07 store?  Why are the little coins worth 10c when the bigger coin is worth 5c ?  Also the little one just says "dime" and the other one says "Nickel"  why don't they have numbers on them?  You see what you…

Say that a bunch of times fast and you begin to wonder if there's a subliminal message in there somewhere!
