Mail-Art Cafe

Happy Birthday Katerina, and many mailartist filled more, cake looks good.

It went out to sea Chantal, not headed your way, it avoided NYC. Lucky

'tis a bloomin' nice party here at the CAFE!
Thanks for you well wishes Rod, Chantal, and all here!
Help yourselves to the choco cake...
maybe we need some champagne to celebrate
that snow blizzard moving out-to-sea?
But for Judy and all in-the-snow, how about some
hot tea? hot chocolate? Stay warm!

Judy is at work because her co-worker couldn't get in and has no power at home. Judy can't take anything stronger that hot chocolate until she gets home, oh boo. It is a beautiful sunny day lots of reflections from all the snow.

Judy, Judy, Judy...for sun reflection on snow:
sun goggles (or that googles?) needed.
Also, a bobcat will help to get home from work.
Unless ya got a skateboard or skis to do the
"slopes" on Pennsylvania Avenue :-)
(ok, ok, enough...
I'm bringing more hot chocolate soon)

Nice tanning weather but I get off at 6 and the sun is gone. The trains are running just fine underground and the walk is refreshingly beautiful.

You need to dodge a few of the trees "snow bombs" Susan

Here's some hot chocolate before heading home?
Or once ya awll are cozy and warm at home...
a few others stopped by for the party here at the CAFE:
Charles and sinclair and Ashton and (OMG!) Garth.
Yep, tis their birthday today, too.

Charles Dickens Feb. 7, 1812/ Sinclair Lewis, 1885/
Garth Brooks,1962 and Ashton Kutchen,1978.

OK, y'all we will join in too, hot chocolates all 'round

Have some of the chocolate goodies, too, Judy.
Aha, I see Vincent dropped by the CAFE for the party, too.
Enjoy!

(me thinks all the other guys are getting ready

Thise flowers look wonderful, do we pick the petals one by one or shove it all in our mouths?

Very beautiful images. Now I add three photos of VESUVIUS on January 17, 2010.

Wow..thank you Alfonso, even the volcano in Italy had snow!
May the winds blow north and not east to Greece!
Seems snow is falling in many unusal places this winter.

Dynamic stuff coming your way from Suzlee, Felipe. Thanks for posting this and it is a good reminder that I have yet to send you an art card or two, and to Suzlee's mail art call,too! Something coming your way soon, good friend!

Judy, girl, you had a birthday 1.3. ? That means January 3rd? ( For in Greece, it could be March 1st! Second number in dates is the month) Ah, come on, we didn't see any announcement!
Okay, so we celebrate at the Cafe today:
Happy birthday to Judy!
XRONIA POLLA!

Ladies, I seem to have a lot of difficulty with this site. My date is January 31. Somehow at my end when I type in it flips such as cutting K from katerina and my photo is in the middle of my sentence. I do not know why this happens.

Happy birthday to all you ladies... with a birthday... can I have another piece of cake please??? Thanks for the hearts Kate, you touched mine. I went for a walk yesterday with camera but there is not much sign of Spring yet... It is way under freezing here with a biting wind and now we are expecting three days of snow... sigh...

We're getting more too Rod, tomorrow to Wednesday 14-18 inches and it is windy and cold too. I wish it was spring. Really I would love to walk across the street without having to step over snow mounds and ruts.

Thank you, Katerina and Judy. I send you these kakes and napolitan baba.

Wonderful and warm!!!

Oh man! I could wrap myself around those cakes with ultimate pleasure Alfonso.
Judy, you would really need to start worrying when Polar bears come knocking on your door asking to borrow your thermals!

I am already worring we are all going to turn into snowmen and snow women. A plow nearly sloshed me with all the yuchy mush. Gray snow woman cometh forth.

it got cold here again but we luckily did escape the terrrrible snow blizzard you got! wishing you the best through it!

Opa!
Early morning birthday dance for Susan!
Happy Birthday..."XRONIA POLA"!

Anybody else just get spammed by a new member. She left a comment that had nothing to do with mail art but instead a link to ink.bz - a search turned up her name on a lot of ning boards that appear to have no relation to each other. Just curious.

Chantal - thank you. caught me by surprise, but they probably work in teams joining and spamming boards - just hadn't seen it on any of the ning writing boards I belong to. I'll ignore them in the future.

I get the idea that spammers are on overtime at the moment as the net has slowed to almost snail-mail pace today. My computer has been trying to download the virus checker update all day and constantly gets dumped before completion.

Yes, I noticed that here at IUOMA I had trouble getting on...also some of the photos are not uploading. I am sure that Ruud is working on it and getting rid of any spammers sabbotaging our fun place.
Well, just ignore or delete any unknown names and messages...
and so let's dance! OPA!

Susan, you are young and agile and surviving in this unforgiving weather and brushing off the rhino from your car! think young!!!

'Twas a nice birthday party...though Rod and Susan, something was spiked in your drinks? Ya lookin' a bit strange over at "self-portraits" LOL!
time to say "good night"...Kalinyxta!

Ouzo, Susan, we got that every evening when touring, wonderful stuff!!!

"Nothing to Excess" ;-)
Come join us, howver, for a bit of ouzo and mezedes
at the "Greek embassy"!
(Will keep ya warm with all that new snow)
See ya gals!

oozoo dilli rummy dlink in my glass!? sawlright I can find my own way to bed thankyou ferry munchmallow ;~}

I hav a wonderful memory of Greece full of tremendous warmth. I have not has Ouzo since that visit

Greek dreamin' on such a winter's day...

We have a blizzard here, snow and 40-50 mph wind. I managed to get into the office although I was nearly blown into the building wall by the wind and you can't see. Wonderful photo.

Kate, the news just said that Greece is on strike... is that for more sunshine? Or are you jealous of Judy's snow scapes.?.. You can't see the walls on Kate's photo either!

Hey Rod, I hear that the EU is bailing out Greece with your tax euros.

well it's still snowing so what am I getting for my cents?

Dunno? Didn't know you had cents.

Judy, Rod...you're not making cents here!

I thought you are all on strike, Katerina, schools closed like us etc.

Naw, just ye ol' farmers are "on strike"...
actually tis the season of no sowin', no plowin', no weedin', no pickin'...
so they would normally be just-a-sittin' in the cafe with their komboloi
(don't see nerry a one Greek farmer here in the CAFE!).
But, like their friends in France (lower photo), they parked
their tractors on the highways and are a-postestin' (upper photo)...
cloggin' up the works

... and a-protesting! ;-)
