Winnie the Pooh and Pooh sticks from our dear Valentine!

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

See, a yellow Pooh stick, and a black one, too! Along with the Pooh sticks came special banana and fruit stickers for our Anna Banana Bingo project. And also, there is one of the  special "slide art" pieces that Valentine Mark Herman is making, this one announces his exhibit.

There are some dear friends on Val's envelope:

and fun rubber stamps :

Val also enclosed one of his "stories" ...about banana stickers, and a "poem"...

Shall treasure all the goodies, many thanks, Val!

You might have seen it, oh prettylily (walking down the street/ oh pretty lily, the girl I'd like to meet), but someone else designed and runs it for me. I 'm not clever enough to do those sorts of things.Egalité, Thé et Art Postal

Val, tech-illiterate ....not! I have seen your web site.

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Hi prettylily! As I am technologically illterate, and a Luddite to boot, I don't have an iPod, or an iMac, or an iPad, or an iPhone..

But I do have an iRon (and am pretty good at iRoning shirts) and a rainMac (Burberry of course).

Liberté, Egalité et Art Postal!

Sue, the spell chick is on vacation, I think :-)

There are bar codes on everything here, too!

As Dean Marks says: "Bar codes are human too" !

[prettylily]

You think I am a bad typist? Just hand me a smart phone or an iPad. Oy! Sorry.....

[prettylily]

I just ate an apple with a bar code! It,s a first for me. Has anyone else noticed bar coed on fruit or have I been on another planet?

Delightful fun from Val! Lucky you, Katerina.

Thank you Angie and Snooky! Would you like to buy the film rights? I can offer you a very special price for them? (3 banana stickers, or something similiar)

This is the grandest of curious gifts!  Pooh sticks indeed! I must remember to play the next time I cross our creek in honor of Val and Kat both.
