Envelope Ahead!

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Just got back from the Catskill mountains where rural post offices and these roadside signs made me very happy.

It’s hot!

Time to turn on the AC, get out my postcards and pens, park myself on the couch and start writing! Today I am sending out housewarming cards to friends in Philly, Maine, and California. Later I’ll get out my parasol (ok, umbrella) and take a leisurely stroll to the mailbox.

Please read this letter that I wrote

Dear readers,

How are you? What have you been up to this past month? I apologize for falling off the blog wagon. The reasons for my delinquency are pretty boring but I will make it up to you. Even though I had spotty computer access this month I didn’t stop thinking about snail mail and you. I miss you!

Your Viva Snail Mail Comrade,

Melissa

P.S. Here is a song for you by Alison Kraus and Robert Plant. It won the 2009 record of the year Grammy and it seems to be playing on the sound system every time I step into my local supermarket.
