The huge Anacortes-Republik van Patland geographical gap has been bridged handsomely. Great job! Now, it´s homework time for this scribe. Some earthlings call it "time to enliven and enlighten".
Omg I am so sorry to hear that you got so sick! I hope you are on the way to recovery now. It sounds like you are. It's the time of the year when we get sick.... I also lost my voice for three days this past week :-(
I haven't heard the sound of joya no kane for ages but just by listening to your bell ringing tradition it brought back the memories of it from every New Year's Eve in Japan. I like it how it was so calming just before the time changed to another year. What a joy of the tradition you are leading.
I admire your commitment on 365 ....are you thinking about restarting in the new year? Likewise I really enjoyed looking at your work.
Dear friend, this address is o.k. And my new physical address is: Reinhardstraaße 13, 60433 Frankfurt am Main, Germany. We, Angela and I, are still involved into the move… Hard for elder People (I am 80 now…). Happy new year! HeMi
Hi Jan, Bathtub made it around the world, I got him back in March of 2018...though not for long, he was a good boy for a year, but now he is talking about flying (at least not sailing) to S.America for an 8 month walk, Chile to Ecuador. The only reason we have stayed together for 20 years, I think, is that we are so often not together at all. :) Reunions take on the thrill and excitement of new relationships because I forget, between one moment and the next, what he looks like, so it feels like a different guy each time. Or you could say I feel like I'm cheating on my husband with my husband...
Definitely the stitching was just to fill the hours at sea when there was no wind to drive the boat I doubt he'll be stitching the next time he goes. It was a brief, torrid affair with the needle, which hobby I can finally reclaim, now that I don't have to share my DMC cotton floss and precious embroidery hoops with a bearded old salt of the sea. :)
Thank you for adding me! I look forward to receiving whatever orange you send my way. I visited Anacortes once. Lovely little part of the world. I was there when the lavender wasn't blooming, alas, but I did get to the Hoh rainforest and about died from awe.
Hello Jan! Thank you so much for the snail mail welcome. The postcard is a beaut - love the ghostly image and bright colors. This isn't my first rodeo here (it's been a few years), but I'm excited to get back to the swing of things. I sent you a little something today!
Hi Jan, thanks for asking, I would like to exchange Mail Art with you. I'm also not a fan of add and passes. Saw your Pinterest, nice collection - and looks like you like birds. ;-)
Hi Jan, thanks for another great contribution to Asemic Front; I've documented it. I'll post pics on the IUOMA-Ning site but won't re-post blogs anymore due to the excessive technical difficulties w/ Ning. I hope you continue as a contributor to AF2. Regards, DVS
You don't know me, but I sent you something in the mail recently as I discovered that you were my "neighbor". I don't want a response back. I'm just curious if you received the mail or not. It looked like this:
