Response: Lucy is such a hoot! While her antics can be annoying sometimes, she makes me laugh every day, so overall, I figure she's good for my health! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Wow! What a coincidence! Thanks for the heart, too. That line makes me laugh every time I see it! I can just picture that dog! lol!
Response: Glad you liked them! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Me too! Thanks for the heart! Happy Cooking! His short videos are actually even funnier. But I liked the one I sent because you can see how much he really researches the recipes and takes time working with them. I only borrowed the book on Libby, but I'm going to buy it so I can try more of the recipes!!
Response: Yay! Thanks for the heart!
Response: OMG! That's great! I'll have to check it out. Sorry I'm so slow. Been away from SB for a while. Phx. Film Festival is coming up fast! Should be fun!
Response: Yes! I caught a little bit of one of her broadcasts. I tend to listen more to audiobooks, but dive into a podcast once in a whlile. I'll keep hers in mind for sure! Thank you for the heart, and yes, also for the friendship! Love your book recommendations!
Response: Thanks so much! I appreciate the comment, and the heart! I see some of these journals that look so amazing and polished. I just have fun with it and hope it turns out! Glad you liked this one!
Response: Thanks so much, and thanks for the heart! I'm tending more and more to pasting in bits and pieces from my month. Things I want to remember, but not file away somewhere. I love doing these !
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I enjoyed writing about my family's traditions, and definitely grateful we are all still able to get together, and that we love doing it!
Response: Oh, so true! Best comment one of my sons ever made was an observation that his friends always complained about family get-togethers, but he always has fun at ours! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Oh, I'm so late in writing responses, I'm embarrassed. I actually made that raven stamp from a magazine photo. I mounted it on thin foam, cut it out and scored it where I didn't want in, and mounted it presentation board--the kind that is about 1/4" thick. You have to experiment a little with the scoring so it's deep enough. Fun project! So glad you liked the stamps too! I enjoyed doing this one. Easy to find things you like!
Response: Gosh, I'm late responding to all these. So sorry. I've been MIA here lately. Yeah, it's not a top pick for me, although I did read the next book as well-once she's in NYC. Don't think I'll continue with the series though. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! There were some spooky sounds at times, but no one actually saw a ghost. But boy, if they're anywhere, there'd be some in that place!
Response: Yay! Glad you can use them. I hate throwing stuff I've saved away, but I have to face the fact that I'm never going to use it all, so I need to pass it on! Lol! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Oh, you are so right. I do love seeing new places, but the place I love the best is home! Thanks for the heart and enjoy that Granddaughter!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I read the eBook for Labyrinth. It's a pretty long book, and I can get lost in audiobooks sometimes, so I thought it'd be easier to read it. May also have been that it was available to borrow sooner! Lol!
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: I love that era of exploration. I think I literally did read every book written about Shackleton's journey. Just so fascinating! I look forward to your next reviews!Thanks for the heart!
Response: Oh, that would be fun! I'd love to meet you IRL as the kids say. I'm really looking forward to the trip. She keeps sending new details about cool things we'll be doing! I am also anxiously awaiting "Killers of the Flower Moon." Thanks for the heart!
Response: So glad you liked it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: That tour was so much fun and so interesting! Many differences, but also much in common too. THe A level exams felt restrictive to me, but what the schools I visited were doing with those who fell into the more vocational route was just incredible. Much of it looked more appealing to me than the academics, and I am totally an academic kind of person. My niece did Triathlon. Her dad competes in Iron Man and she started out running with him. Her older brother does long distance running, but not at the level she achieved. She was headed , in theory to the Olympics, but she got burned out, quit totally, dropped out of college, and now is working with one of the bike companies as a rep. Happier, I hope! More thatn you probably wanted to hear, but there it is! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: Yes, they have just added audiobooks. I'd absolutely give it a try. I think I've encountered more books I didn't like--didn't even finish a few, but still, the ones that were good were really good, and it's kind of fun to get them ahead of publication. They do really want your reviews to help sell the books. I have gotten uncorrected galleys, and that can be frustrating. So many errors sometimes. I find that sometimes I enjoy a book more if I read it and others that I might have stopped reading (The Dutch House) except for an excellent narration that brings a fairly inactive plot to life somehow. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I haven't read, but I watched ALL of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, and discovered a new 2 season version with her niece continuing her detecting. It's set in the 60s, so it's fun to see the costumes. I'll have to check out the Jazz Files. Sounds intriguing! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Sorry it took so long to get that scribble sent back! I kept thinking I'd find a better idea than my initial response. So glad you like the extra "bits"! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I wonder what it looks like now? Someday I hope to get there and find out! I have a whole bag full of those old NOLA cards.Thanks for the heart!
Response: Oh, thanks so much! I like too, that it gives me extra papges that I can add more ephemera and stuff to about that month.
Response: Oh no! Thanks so much for taking care of me! I have been so busy, I guess I got distracted and just spaced out. Thanks for the heart!
Response: What a lovely thing to be able to say about your city! I actually feel the same way about mine. Not so much the city itself, but the area. I love the desert and our mountains! Glad you liked the PC! Thanks for the heart and for joining my swap!
Response: Oh, I do too. I really would not want to live anywhere but here in the Sonoran Desert, near my mountain (not what people from CO would call it, but we do!). Guess it's just a different kind of paradise. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Maybe we can both get there one of these days. I hope so!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I think I let a lot slide in The Maid because I really did like the main character. I'm curious to see the series. I think it may fix some of the holes. I hope so! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Coo! Glad you liked it. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I appreciate that. It's interesting how differently we all interpret the assigned theme, isn't it? I love seeing how they turn out. I'm sad to see the swap ending, but I know they do run their course. I have a couple I may retire. Fewer sign-ups and it gets boring having the same few ones. We'll see! Thanks for hosting it for so long!
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! Glad you liked it!
Response: Awesome! Thanks for the heart. No rush to get it back to me. I'm out of town until the end of June, so I won't see it till then. Can't wait to see what you do
Response: Thanks so much! I really enjoy it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Lol! I am the same way! Thanks for remembering and the heart! I'm not like some who obsessively check to see if they've been rated. I'm not in this for that, but I do appreciate hearing from partners.
Response: Yay! SO glad you like it. I think it's fun to do--and so many different approaches. I love seeing these. Please join again. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I'm glad you like it. It was fun to create. I really enjoy seeing what everyone does to these PCs! Thanks for joining and thanks for the heart!
Response: Awesome! Loving that site! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks so much! That may be the fastest rating ever! lol! Thanks for the kind words and the heart, too!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! Yes, I loved Cloud Cuckoo Land so much that I bought a copy (I use Libby for most books) and started re-reading it and taking notes! Lol. Such wonderful writing! Glad you liked my desert PC!
Response: Awesome! I'm glad you like them! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! So far, I've read some really good books! I've got a long flight coming up at the end of the month, so maybe I'll get a few more finished before June!
Response: Excellent! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I actually felt sad when I finished Babel. I had really come to love those characters! It is a long book, too, so I really felt invested. Would kind of like to see a sequel, but I think the story really has been told. And yes, the comment about feeling safe surprised me, but I can totally see it. Just sad that along with that come so many other repressive actions. One of Brooks' major concerns is getting rid of the practice of mutilating young girls. Heavy subject for sure, but I appreciated her peek into that community. THanks for the heart!
Response: Cool! Thanks for the heart! I hope you like the book!
Response: Ugh! I typed up a long, detailed response and it didn't save! Look for an email instead! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thank you! It's such fun to do these, I think. I like trying to make it look like it's not altered at all! LOL! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Oh darn! Glad the card survived. I wonder how it got wet! I have found several dresses I like! Yay! Now I just have to decide which one! Amazon turned out to be a great source for gowns, some I'd tried on at Dillards for more than twice the money, too! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Ooo! just looked him up and those sound really intriguing! I'm looking at The Enigma of Room 622 first, I think. Thanks for the tip and for the heart!
Response: Oh, Thank you so much! I was pretty happy with it, but can see so many things I could've done better. I'm not sure I have the patience to really excel at this, though. Thanks for the heart!
Response: So glad you like it! Thanks for the heart! It's such a good feeling when a card that's been an orphan finally finds the perfect home!
Response: Yay! Isn't it fun?! Glad you like it and thanks for the heart!
Response: Yay! It is the first Octavia Butler book, but I'll certainly look at the others. I really enjoyed that one. I have to say your research sounds interesting too! But I know what you mean about research in general. Sometimes it's nice to just take a break with something easy and frivolous! Thanks for the heart!
Response: It was a really good month for reading, for sure! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Glad you liked it! It was a really good year! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I am really liking her books! She's added to my favorite authors for sure. I'm looking forward to reading another by her. Thanks for the heart!
Response: So glad you liked them! It was an especially good festival this year, I thought, and the SF/Horror films were outstanding! Thanks for sharing the link. I'll see if I can watch any online. It seems like quite a few of ours end up streaming somewhere. Here's a link to our award winners this year: https://www.phoenixfilmfestival.com/2023-copper-wing-award-winners
I didn't see any of the SF/horror winners, but I saw some I thought were really good!
Thanks for the heart!
Response: You're right! Thanks for reminding me. I get a little jealous when I see some of the things our craftier folks do in their journals. I love that stuff, but really, it's just not me. Thanks for the heart, too!
Response: Lol! I have done that before myself! Thanks for coming back and adding a comment. Thank you for your kind words. You're right! And thanks for the heart, too!
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the heart! So glad someone else remembers that one!
Response: You are welcome! He's a good one! So accessible and so spot on, too!
Response: haha! Thanks for the heart! Glad to be able to send these "ugly" ones along!
Response: Thanks, I'm sure we'll run into each other at some point! Yes, I agree. Swaps do seem to lose steam after a while. I'd hoped this one would last a little longer. I still have SO many wanderers out there somewhere. Maybe they'll make it back! I got a Pass & Paste last fall that had been MIA since 2017! lol!
Response: I am SO jealous! From what I've seen, it's an adventure just wandering around in there! She's one of my favorites. If I ever get to SA, it'll be my first stop!
Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: Thanks so much for the hearted 5! I'm really loving this swap!
Response: Thanks so much! and thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks so much! I had fun making it! I plan to join them all! So motivating and fun to see what everyone does.
Response: Thanks for the heart! Can't wait to see where the story goes!
Response: Yeah, I think I was so intrigued with the culture, I was too generous with that one. MANY flaws. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thank you! Right back at ya! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Haha! I have to say I love that series, but I think The Pink Panther Strikes Again and The Return... are much funnier, but you do have to like that kind of humor. Thanks for the heart! Yes, hope our paths cross again! Have a great 2023!
Response: I did really enjoy the book and learning about that area and the native was a big part of what I really liked. It is definitely worth reading! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Wow. I took a course in Children's, including YA lit, years ago, but somehow I didn't realize that. Seems a crazy way. That would include Lolita, for example! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Me too! I need to do more of nothing!
Response: For sure! Right now I've so many somethings to do, it's stressing me out. Can't wait to have NOTHING again! lol!
Response: Thanks! I love these journals! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thank you! Those were fun to cut out. They remind me of the hand-blown ornaments I have from my parents. I really treasure those! Thanks for the heart!
Response: No worries! It's been crazy around here too!
Response: You are welcome! thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: Yay! I love bees and honeycombs too! So fun to draw (and something I actually can do!) Thanks for the heart! I'd love to see how this one turns out,
Response: Darn! I worried about that. It was one of those soldiers that guard Buckingham Palace. I thought about putting it into a clear sleeve, but it seemed on there pretty solid. I guess not. Thanks for the heart. If you like audio books, Gaiman is wonderful narrating his own books. I have been seeking out all of them!
Response: Thanks so much! Have a wonderful 2023! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Cool! It was fun finding the images and deciding where to put them! Thanks for the 5!
Response: Thanks for the heart! It was fun looking back at his movies! What a varied resume! Sooo good!
Response: SO glad you like it! Always fun to see how these turn out! Thanks for the heart!
Response: haha! I love it! I'm the same way. My TBR list has grown soooo much, but that means there's never a question about what to read next. Lots of questions about WHICH, though! Lol! Thanks for the heart
Response: OMG! I didn't see this until just now. You can send the cards to me, or send them home. we are closing off the swap since so few were participating.
Response: That's a great idea! Maybe after the holidays! It seems like it's getting harder and harder to get people to join swaps that don't involve going out and buying loot. I've never understood those, but they sure are popular! Thanks for the heart!
Response: It's a good one! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I love theater tickets, but now so many are just using e-tickets or a simple list at will call, I hardly ever get any actual tickets! I guess that means I should absolutely save any I do get! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks so much. It's true. Everyone has their own style and it's fun to see what others do. I love the shabby chic look, and adding paint and art, but I just don't think that way, I guess! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Oh, me too! I came so close years ago when i was doing professional development work for teachers. I had a little school near NOLA that I was supposed to go back to all semester, but they switched me to a bigger school in IL. I was so disappointed Some of the nicest, friendliest people I've ever met down in Louisiana. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I really enjoyed it--so much I picked up another book by the same author. It was good too, but I like the Beetle one better. So funny and unique. I hope you like it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Yay! I'm glad you like them! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I really love my state, and the Valley in particular. So much to do here! We're getting in to our best seasons now! I love fall here, although I always long to go back east for the colors.
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I love him too, just not in this narration. I've been spoiled by really excellent narrators, I guess.It's definitely a different skill than acting on film! I will try the eBook. The concept still sounds good! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Glad you liked it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! Just re-watched Cary Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace that came up on the Movies! channel this morning. It never gets old! lol! Thanks for the heart!

Response: Thank you! and thanks for the heart!
Response: Glad you liked it!
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: Hahaha! RIght! Well, we got a laugh out of it at least! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I loved that. I haven't started the next one yet, but I definitely want to read more of their adventures! Thanks for the heart!
Response: It was a fun read, I thought! I loved recognizing many of the characters from other Victorian era stories. Thanks for the heart!
Response: That was a beautiful story! I want to read instead of listen to the next one. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Yeah, it's not one I'll be recommending. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks! I was pretty happy with what I figured out. I'm curious to see how it turns out after everyone has worked on it! They are always so interesting! Thanks for setting up this swap! And thanks for the heart!
Response: Yay! I hoped you would like that one! A classic for sure! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! Glad you liked the stamps! I love collecting them, too. I always intend to use them and I do occasionally, but I still have SO many! I'm happy to pass them along to others who love them.
Response: I will absolutely! Like I said, it has turned in to a trip I would LOVE to actually take! We'll see if I can save enough $$ to make it happen! Thanks for the heart!
Response: So glad you liked them. I love Day of the Dead and when I saw you liked Halloween, thought they might please you. Glad I was right! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: It was so fun to make! Thanks for the heart and for joining my swap!
Response: Oh, I hope you do like them. Thanks for the heart, too! So glad you can use the stickers!
Response: Thanks for rating and for the heart!
Response: So glad you enjoyed my list! I managed to find a copy of the script for both "Curious Incident.." and "Ripcord" on Scribd! I's a subscription service, but usually has a free month offer when you first join. They seem to have lots of plays! Thanks so much for reading my list and reviews and for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! Happy Reading!
Response: Cool! thanks for the recs! I'll take a look and add them to my (ever-growing) TBR list! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! I intend to finish them out, and I'm going to check out more of the books from the decades I missed. Such a cool idea! So many great books. I read The Handmaids Tale back when it first came out and loved it, then. I considered re-reading it, but I really wanted to seek out authors and books I was not already familiar with. Many on the list were not available, sadly. So much great literature we ignore because it's not from the USA or GB. I love that the list has books from the Commonwealth -- so many other cultures! Thanks so much for hosting this swap! I hope you like The Whale Rider!
Response: Thanks for the heart! It is definitely not for everyone. Thanks for rating!
Response: So glad you liked it! Montana was fantastic! SO gorgeous and definitely cooler than Phoenix! Lovely weather while we were there!Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! I never got that sick, but it was enough to spoil some plans I had been looking forward to. I'm just glad I was over it in time for a family trip to Montana!
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the heart! I'm much better. Didn't really feel sick at all, but I wanted to be sure I didn't give it to anyone who might get really sick. Glad to be negative again! Stay safe!
Response: You are too sweet! I'm just glad it could be read! So nice to have cool air again, too! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I enjoyed writing this one!
Response: No worries! Glad you liked it! June seems to be flying by as well! Thanks for the heart and compliment1
Response: You are welcome! SO glad you like the PC! Thanks for the heart, too, and the place of honor for the card! Cool!
Response: It definitely has lots of that! I had heard of the other book, but not read it, but will now! This was quite the ride! And so well-researched! I love getting a little history along with a great story! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Quite a challenge! I know you'll do something amazing! thanks for the heart!
Response: Glad you liked it! Thanks for the heart1
Response: Thank you so much! I'm liking it too. I think I'll try more of that. Thanks for the heart!
Response: That's pretty much how I felt about it too. I'm sure my butterfly girl and word didn't really help much, but it was the only idea I got and once that occurred to me, I couldn't think of anything else! Good luck!
Response: I hope you like it! I love Rumi too. So odd that I'd just received a swap with one of his quotations right before I started that book. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Dang! That's what happened to me last time. I'd sure love to get a few strays back home. I guess they're stalled too. Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! I love it when I find something simple like the right stamp for someone. I know that makes my day too! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome!
Response: Oh, good! I thought that one might have possibilities! It's always interesting to see what becomes of these collaborations, isn't it? Thanks for the heart!
Response: Yay! That makes me so happy! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! So glad you liked it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: It was a touch one, but I'm glad we did it. It will mean so much to have this record when we look back on these journals. I'm really loving these swaps. I think it's my new favorite! Thanks for the heart!
Response: One of these days I'll get there and see for myself! I came close once when I was mentoring teachers. I had an on-going assignment in a little town a couple of hours away, and i was already planning to do a long weekend and go to NOLA, but then they transferred me to Illinois for the winter. Yikes! Oh well. That was a great experience too, but so much colder! lol!
Response: I enjoy hearing about new books, too The only problem is, my list of TBR books is getting so long, I'll need to live to be at least 150 to get them all read!
Response: Excellent! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Yay! It's always nice when one of those comes around. Some just totally stump me for a while, and others seem pretty complete to the point I don't want to add anything that might spoil it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! Glad you found it! I loved The Dictionary of Lost Words, but it seems like people either love it or hate it! Same with Cloud Cuckoo Land. It's definitely a challenging read. Don't give up on it too early, it will make sense after a while! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Cool! I'll have to check that one out! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thank you! It was fun to create! I'm loving these swaps. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! Guess you can tell I love AZ!
Response: It's definitely my favorite time of year. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thank you! So far, it has been very well received. Thanks for the heart!
Response: That's awesome! I started trying to do that, but it is SO much work! I just don't have the patience for that, but I love hearing family stories from relatives who do love doing that! Thanks for the heart! I really want to get back to Scotland and see more of it. I only had time for Edinburgh. Absolutely loved it, but I know there's so much more to see!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! NOLA is definitely on my short list of places I want to visit. Not sure when I'll ever get there, but one of these days....
Response: Thanks so much! And thanks for the heart! I am loving these swaps too. So nice to be prompted to do them, and then get to keep it myself!
Response: Me too! It encourages me to actually do some, and I love the prompts! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks! And thanks for the heart!
Response: I hope you like it! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: So glad you like it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! Glad to get this moving on!
Response: Haha! I had such fun with that! Once I got the idea, it kind of took over. I'd have loved to have kept reducing them in size to make a real horde! You're right--like prairie dogs or meerkats! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Me too! One of these days! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: So glad you like it! And happy to find someone who appreciates it. I love these "ugly" PC swaps for just that reason! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Cool! Always nice when the traveler finally makes it home!
Response: Just love his writing style, and his narration! I will probably listen to everything he narrates. Just finished his short story collection, "Trigger Warnings" and it was great! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I agree--I love a strong female character, but I just love his writing and narration. Thanks for rating!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I just love our giant saguaros! I know I'm home when I start seeing them. Spring here really is quite amazing. If you can, go to the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. They'll have a good display even if we haven't had a wet winter. Not looking good right now unless we get more rain soon! Thanks for the heart!
Response: So glad you liked it! Glad we did this swap. Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: Awesome! Thanks for the heart and the recommendations! I love historical fiction. It feels like I'm learning something while I'm entertained!
Response: Oh no! I am glad you found it! I have certainly had that happen to me, too. Yes, our PCs have long journeys these days. Sometimes it's taken over a month for me to get one from Australia or New Zealand! Thanks for finding and rating and for the heart!
Response: Yay! I hope you like it! We always say it's a good time to be GF and DF. If we'd discovered my sons' allergies when they were little, it would have been a real challenge! I really wonder if it's not something they developed over the years because I never saw any signs of a reaction. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Yay! I love being able to find someone to give stickers to. I don't really use them, but find I can't just toss the pretty or cool ones! Thanks for the heart! I hope you like the books!
Response: I haven't seen that one! I"ll check it out! Thanks for the heart, too!
Response: Me too! One of these days I hope to get there in person. I guess having all those PCs gives me a good idea of what to visit! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you like it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I read so many Kindle books these days, it's almost a non-issue now. I dog-ear magazines like mad, though! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks! I'm glad too, although it's supposedly not a good year for those born in the Year of the Tiger. I'm supposed to wear red underwear to stay lucky! Lol!
Response: Isn't it great?! Maybe I can get him to use up some of my fabric stash! lol. I still can't resist a lovely piece of fabric. I don't think I can live long enough to get it all used up. Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are very welcome! That's one of the things I love about SB--getting to meet so many interesting, creative people! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thank you! I am really having fun making these!
Response: So glad you like it! I know we're all so tired of this pandemic. I hope that's the last lockdown for you, but at least they're taking it seriously. So many here in AZ are just acting like it's all over when it's actually as bad or worse than ever. At least fewer are dying, but so many more are infected. Who knows what the longterm effects might be? Anyway, thanks for the heart!
Response: Yay! I hoped you'd like that! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! I think the continuing ones are fun--I used to host one called "The Exquisite Corpse P&P" because that's what each one did. It's after an old party game. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! Yes, I love the collaboration PCs. Sometimes they turn out amazing!
Response: Thanks so much! So fun to make!
Response: Thank you! You too! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Lol! Sorry 'bout that. I taught high school English, so I couldn't resist it. Don't love her poetry in general, but that one has always stayed with me. Glad you liked it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I am! Thank you for rating and for the heart!
Response: So glad you like it! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: You are welcome! I hope you like it! It's a crowd pleaser! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: Love it! Thanks for the heart and for hosting!
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: Yay! Glad you liked them! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: You are welcome! Glad it made it there! Thanks for the heart!

Response: Thanks so much! I wanted the Phoenix to be more precise, but in some ways, it's better as it is--more fiery looking, I think. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Yeah, terrible handwriting, That's why I typed the messages. I handmade the stamp for the Phoenix bird. One of my first attempts, so I wasn't entirely happy with how it turned out, but I loved the saying I put on the back and the idea of it. There should have also been a PC sized print enclosed. If not, please let me know and I'll send. Thanks so much for the hearted 5!
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: Yes, we worry, but mask up and try to be careful without making it insufferable. Luckily, there's lots to do around here outside, even in the summer when It's hot. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks SO much! I loved the solar printing process. Hope I can take another class one of these days.... Love, love, love agave, too! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks! After "Nothing to See Here," it was a let down, but not so much I didn't want to read on. I liked the main character and was intrigued by the notion. Really kept hoping more would come of that. Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Not much else to do right now. Got a lot done on a long flight back and forth, too! And some good books helped! Thanks for the heart!

Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: I loved Trevor Noah's book. I actually listened to the audio version with him narrating. It was fantastic! Thanks for letting me know about the enive. I was a bit worried about it, so good to know. I use my toaster oven to make the blended baked oats, so it doesn't heat up the kitchen so much. I think I'm addicted to those now! The recipe is really versatile. I've used jam and coconuts shreds, made it lemon-blueberry, and double chocolate too! yummy! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the hearted 5. I know that one is a challenge, but do whatever you want to it. I've had to make new ones the last 4 times, so I'm running out of ideas to start them! Thanks for the heart!

Response: No worries! Thanks for the hearted 5!

Response: Thank you and thanks for the heart!

Response: Yay! Glad you liked it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You're welcome!Thank you for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: Glad you liked it! It was fun to blow it up and I was happy when I realized I had that stamp for the envie! I love playing with words, too! Far too many actual "unscrupulous merchants" but thankfully the one I ran into was honest! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Yay! I love it when that happens! Glad you like it! One of these days I hope to get to New Orleans and I'll check it out iin person! Thanks for the heart!

Response: Thanks! Glad you liked it! This was challenging, but fun! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Oh no! glad they still made it. There should have also been a note from me inside. Guess I'd better start taping up those envies myself! lol!
Response: Cool! I worried about that one, but it was so fun to do! Glad you like the notecard. When I read your profile, I thought of that one right away. I wish it was easier to bike everywhere here in Phoenix, but there's almost nothing but more houses close to me, and the summer would be brutal to ride in! And I had it wrong--it was an HD/HP PC with lots of tulips. You added a tidbit about tulips being Turkish and brought there via Australia! Love it!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I hope you like the recipe. I've been really enjoying my air fryer. I was amazed that steaks turned out really good--gotta watch them, especially if you don't want well done! It happens fast!
Response: You've got me beat. I've only been to the one here and to the Brewers' in MN. I thought I'd get to add two when I went to Chicago for my niece's graduation a year ago, but we all know how that turned out! I'll keep trying! I love your idea of stamping a Pass Book or something. I'll be MLB could get an airlines to partner with them to sponsor that! Thanks so much for the heart! I hope we both can add more this summer!
Response: So glad you liked it! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: So glad! It was an early effort, not that I'm much better at it now. I kind of like the "rough" look--good thing! lol! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Yay! Glad you liked it and can use the envie. Can't wait to see this one completed! Thanks for the heart!

Response: Great! Thanks for the heart!
Response: So glad you like it! Thanks for the heart and for being patient with my issues.
Response: It's one of my favorites! I haven't tried it with spelt flour. I just use oat, and if I don't have the flour, I just put a cup of oatmeal in the blender (not the quick oats kind), and you get oat flour pretty fast! Thanks for the heart!
Response: So glad! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Aha! That makes sense. I've seen that with some of the Pass & Paste cards before. I guess as long as it gets passed around and sent back, it's all good! Thanks for rating and for the heart!
Response: SO glad you like it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thank you! I was pretty happy with it. Glad you like the swap! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: Someday I hope I get to NOLA so I can see for myself! I got a big bag of PCs at Goodwill and most of them are from New Orleans! I know where to go at least!

Response: Glad you liked it! I left off a few I really want to read, but haven't acquired yet. I'm hoping I'll get to them all this year for a change! Thanks for the heart!

Response: Glad you liked it! Thanks for rating and for the heart!
Response: I loved it! I need to go back and spend more time there. I only had 3 days and the major museums were on strike, so I didn't get to see the Louvre. Otherwise, it was great! Just loved the atmosphere and being there. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Glad you liked it! Sometimes b/w is so much more striking than color, isn't it?
Thanks for the heart!
Response: So glad you liked it! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: I'd love to go back! I was just talking with a friend and we're planning to get to a beach as soon as we can after this is all over! Maybe in Hawaii! Who knows? Thanks for rating!

Response: You are welcome! Glad you like it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: That's so true. I'm hoping we can be closer soon. My grandson's birthday is March 7 and that was the last time we were really able to cuddle and be together. He turns 3 in a few months, and I'm really hoping we can be together again. Thanks for the heart and 5!
Response: Better than the alternative, I guess! Thanks for the heart!
Response: LOL! SO glad we have these swaps to find a home for these boring PCs!
Response: You are welcome! Glad you like it! Thanks for the heart!

Response: You are welcome! Thanks for rating and for the heart!
Response: Yay! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: Thank you! Glad you like it! Thanks for the heart, too!

Response: You are welcome! Glad you liked it!
Response: Awesome! I'd love to go there someday! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Lol! I don't remember what I said! Thanks for ratin!

Response: You are welcome! I hope you like them. I am still dreaming about that yummy moist flavor! Thanks for the heart, too!
Response: Thanks for the heart! It has finally started cooling down here, but then it gets hot again in a few days. At least it's staying below 90 now, but we had the hottest November ever--it's in the record books! Things are better where I am, but I still see some people without masks at times. Fewer than before I think. I feel hopeful, especially with the vaccines coming! I just hope people will get vaccinated! That'll be the next hurdle. Stay safe!
Response: I really enjoyed it. He has some good stories about being a reporter! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Cool! Thanks for the heart!
Response: It's an interesting collection. I never did make it through a couple of the stories, but the others and the strangely moving artwork made it worthwhile. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thank you, and thanks for the heart! I hope I cam manage to plan it and afford to get it done! It's lovely here now. 70s and into the 80s at times. That's why most of us live here. I actually don't mind the heat, but it lasted way too long thins hear, and no monsoon made it even harder to bear.
Response: Thanks so much! I LOVE how it turned out! Thanks for the heart, too!
Response: Yay! Glad you like it!
Response: Serendipity! I love it when that happens! So glad you liked them! Thanks for the heart!
Response: He's always been one of my favorites. He can make that guitar cry and sing! I saw him long ago (I'm old!) opening for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. We'd never heard of him then, and he absolutely blew us away to the point where we wondered if CSNY could stand up to his performance. They didn't disappoint either, but I've always remembered how amazing he was.
Response: Thanks for the heart. I hope we both will be able to see them again soon! Stay safe!
Response: I need to read some more. I liked the style, but the others say his book, A Man Called Ove, was even better.
Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! I am hoping to get back up to Chicago soon too! Not till spring, though! Too cold!
Response: Lol! I did the same thing yesterday, so no worries! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Glad you like it! It's finally coming down, but still above normal. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Oh, those are lovely, both in sounds and looks. Ukes are pretty affordable and you don't need to spend a lot of money to get one that sounds good. I'd go ahead and start with that so you get familiar with a stringed instrument. Lots of free instruction online! Bernadette teaches music is a great one to start out. Wish I'd found her sooner! Thanks for the heart!
Response: That would be fun! I got to go there with a group of high school students in 2002, and it was the best trip ever. 3 weeks on a bus going up the coast from Sydney to Cairns. I know, it sounds terrible, but it was amazing. I want to go back and see more. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! I had to get the copy back from the library, but I scanned the pages. I'll email them to you, so look for an email from casugi!
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: So glad you like the card! That recipe has become my go-to for an quick, easy and tasty lunch. I love to add shrimp and Greek olives. Yum!
Response: No worries. Glad you liked it. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I'd love to see this one when it's done! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Glad you liked it! Thanks for the heart! I keep hoping for a better result, but I'm learning!
Response: Glad you liked them! THanks for the heart! It's been extra hot here this summer, still over 100 in October! I'm even starting to get tired of the heat, and I love it--usually. Looking forward to crisp weather with sweaters and boots!
Response: I'm so glad I found that. Mom had so much stuff like that, I have to toss it, but it's hard to know who might like it. Glad I saw that note in your profile!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: Thanks for the heart! Glad you enjoyed it!
Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome. I'd love to visit D.C. again--in the spring this time, for the cherry blossoms! One of these days, soon, I hope!
Response: I hear you on that! I have so many books going now, I don't even know which to pick up! Lol! Trying to get it all in, I guess. Thanks for the heart!

Response: Glad you liked it! I got a whole slew of them in a Goodwill bag, and it's whetted my interest in going there. But some really are pretty odd. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Glad you liked them. We didn't have much of a spring this year, but usually those are everywhere when we've had a good rainy winter. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! Yes, I'll be glad to see this all end--soon, I hope!
Response: Thanks so much! I was pretty happy with the fish. Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! Glad you liked it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Good! I have been doing more swaps lately, so that makes it even more confusing at times!
Response: You are welcome! I'm glad to find someone who can use them! Thanks for the heart!
Response: So glad you liked the bookmark. The references to Star Trek were part of what I loved about the book, too, but I totally missed the chapter titles. I read it on a Kindle, though, so I probably just scrolled past those. I love that! And, as a former English teacher, I love that you got to read it in class. We had several of her short stories in our Senior anthology, and I always loved those. Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: So glad you liked it! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Great! I'm glad you liked the stamps. Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! Glad you liked the card. It's such fun to see how different styles were in those old cards. Thanks for the heart! If only time travel were real!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! And thanks for taking care of the envie for me, too!
Response: Yay! Glad it finally arrived. LIke I said, the stickers were tempting me, but I knew I'd never really use them. I'm glad I got someone who loves stickers to send them to! Wish the book had been better, though!
Response: Isn't that fun? I got 5 swaps in the mail Friday. I guess with mail service slowing down that will happen just more often. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for rating and for the heart.
Response: You are welcome! Sadly, it was all made up! I worried that since I told you about the PCs I had from there that you'd catch on. I do want to visit the city one day. Came close once when I was assigned a school in LA to do some workshops, but then it got changed and I went to IL. Oh well!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! I was happy with how it turned out. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks so much for the hearted 5! I just finished the book, and I really loved it! I'll be reading some more of her books!
Response: Thanks for hosting! and Thanks for the heart!
Response: I loved it in Alaska, and I hate being cold. It was warmer than usual that spring, I think, so I caught a break, but I did do the "polar plunge" and jump into the water. Now, that was really cold! I want to go back and see Denali next. Thanks for rating and the heart!
Response: Yay! Glad you liked it!
Response: I am so glad you like it. And thanks for your help in getting my stray swap home. Thanks for the heart!
Response: It was a really odd set of PCs, I thought. I always appreciate these swaps where we can send those odd ones! Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! Thank you for the heart!
Response: I know the feeling! Thanks for the heart!
Response: One of these days, we'll both make it there... I hope! I came close one year. I was consulting in a school district about 1.5 hrs away and intended to take a long weekend next time I was there. My luck--I got switched to a school in IL!
Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thank you! This is a fun swap!
Response: I hope I can actually get there someday! Thanks for the heart!

Response: I think I may turn them into evening pages. I'm just not a morning person.
Response: I love that one, too! Thanks for rating!
Response: So glad you like it! I'd saved it from a card I received waiting for someone who might enjoy it. I'm trying to find ways to work "snool" into conversations. Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: haha! Sincere apologies! That was the ugliest one I had. Guess I need to go buy some more. I went to Westwood back in olden days when it was the "new" high school in Mesa. My brother went to Mesa High. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! It was fun. I like doing those crazy collage ones. I can't draw faces at all, at least to my satisfaction. Glad you liked it!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! I am feeling like I'll end up recognizing lots of words, but still not be able to speak it. Maybe I'll try Duolingo too. My son uses that one.
Response: It's one of my favorite places in AZ. Thanks for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! I love maps of all kinds. So fun to explore! Thanks for rating!

Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the heart!
Response: No luck this time, but fun to enter! Thanks for the hearted 5!

Response: Wasn't me! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I sure how we get to travel somewhere soon! Thanks for the heart!

Response: You are welcome! Always fun to find some new ones.
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5. Yes, these are certainly strange times. But we will come through it. I hope we learn some lessons from it that we carry with us for the better.
Response: That is so cool! It's funny how often that happens. Someone sends a card or something that, without even knowing, sparks a memory in the receiver. I love it when that happens!
Response: Yay! Thanks so much! It was fun making it. I'm excited to see where my letter travels and meet the people who receive it. Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: Thanks for rating and for the heart!
Response: Glad you liked them! Thanks for the hearted 5!

Response: That looks cool too. I like that I'm donating rice when I play on FreeRice. Thanks for rating!
Response: No worries! I think email swaps are harder to keep track of, at least for me! Thanks for rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! Yes, together, I do believe we can make a change. We must persist! and VOTE!
Response: Aren't they sweet? I love browsing in there. I hope it survives all this, but I think they have a big mail order business going,too. Thanks for rating and for the heart!
Response: So glad you liked the book! It got such mixed reviews, I was questioning my take on it! Thanks for rating and the heart! Glad you like the stamps and bookmark. I still read actual books sometimes, and it seems like I can never have too many bookmarks!
Response: Thanks for the heart and for rating!
Response: That's only true part of the time! I do way too much sitting around! Thanks for rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks for rating and the heart!
Response: You too! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: It's going to be hard to imagine what sports will be like after this. Most of ours will not have any fans present at all--at least at first. Strange days! Hope your date went well! Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: She is a sweetheart! Thanks for rating! I could've filled the whole week with photos of her antics!
Response: Lol! That is so funny! I'm glad you liked it. Faces are a real challenge for me, but I was pretty happy with the girl I made. I don't think I want to know her, though! Thanks for rating and for the heart!
Response: Every once in a while I find it again and wonder about the child and woman. I should write a story about them. Thanks for rating and the heart!
Response: So glad you like it. My brother and his wife love it down there. Sadly, they are selling their sailboat this year and I'm not sure if or when they will return. Knowing my brother, he'll find a way back! Thanks for rating and the heart!

So I worry about the poor plants suffering without water. Lol! We'll see. I did get a few tomatoes before it got too hot.
Response: Glad to hear you're doing well. unfortunately, AZ is one of the places where people went a little crazy too soon and many are ignoring the distancing and wearing masks thing. I'm staying home and just walking my dog in the neighborhood. Thanks for the hearted 5!
Response: I did really like it. I've seen reviews on Goodreads that were less enthusiastic and I can understand their viewpoints. I just thought it was a cool approach with intriguing characters. Let me know what you think! Thanks for rating!
Response: You are very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed my note. Stay safe! We will get through this.
Response: Thank you! And thanks for the heart!
Response: I saw that you did! I really appreciate when there's a costumer and we don't have to scramble to find stuff ourselves. Best one I've had was for a production of Mary Poppins, I was Miss Lark and ensemble, so lots of changes. Our costumer was terrific, and the costumes for our Marys (it was double cast) were incredible. I really miss live theater-both watching and performing. I hope we get it back soon. Thanks for rating!
Response: It was fun. I love her cards. I'll be buying a set,

Response: No worries! Thanks for rating! How cool to be going with your dad! Well get there movies back soon, I how. But I think it's going to look very different. Maybe the drive-in will return. We've list all but one in the Phoenix area.
Response: That would be fun! Thanks for rating!
Response: Thanks for rating and the heart! All but one of the rocks has disappeared now. I hope their new owners are enjoying them! I need to make a new batch!
Response: It is! I love watching it and doing it too! I was supposed to be in a play that would open next month. Not happening now, but maybe they'll reschedule.
Response: Thanks so much! My son just sent some videos of him playing with a tree ball set in their backyard. He's so good!
Response: We will! And I sure like their popcorn better than the microwave. just not the same.
Response: I hear you! I'm looking forward to doing that with my grandson. Stay safe!
Response: You can bet in that! We both will!
Response: Me too! Thanks for rating! Stay safe.
Response: Wow! That's great! I joined the AMC theater deal where you is a monthly fee and can see 3 movies a week. I didn't usually see that many, but I made good use if it. You came out pretty much even if you saw 3 a month.
Response: Be ready for it. They were really scary people! Thanks for rating and the heart!
Response: I'm loving the prompts she's given. Wish I'd find it sooner. Thanks for rating and the heart!
Response: I just finished it yesterday. Wow! I loved it! Kind of a magical realism book in some ways, do it may not be for everyone, but the writing was beautiful. Thanks for rating and for the heart!
Response: You are welcome! I hope you are doing well and staying safe.
Response: Thanks. You too! Very clever poems! I've been making masks with varying success. I tried out 3 different patterns before I found one I like. I've kind of combined parts from each, now! Getting into a roll!
Response: Thank you! I love yours. I'm becoming a pastry chef--and eating way too much of what I'm baking!
Response: Oh no! I'm walking more too, but I don't think it's keeping up with my eating. Fortunately, the exercise class I go to has started using Zoom every weekday, so that should help! Stay safe!
Response: Thank you! I keep trying different masks. I found some from when my sons used them to mow the lawn, but they got stretched out. I made one I like but the ear loops bother my ears. Trying out the surgical mask style later today when I have to go out. We'll see how that goes. Glad I have most of what I need. Stay safe, too!
Response: Oh, my. Well, it started with a lemon olive oil cake--so easy and yummy, and it whittled down the giant bag of lemons my son brought over. I may need to make another one of those! Then came spice cake CC cookies. I wasn't sure how that would be, but they were really good! Added some nuts too. Next were brownies. I'm freezing some stuff so I don't eat it all--I live alone, so it's just me consuming all of this. Yikes! Gotta add another walk or two to my day or I'll not fit into any of the clothes I used to wear. Just in stay-at-home comfy stuff mostly. Stay safe!
Response: Thanks for rating. Stay safe!
Response: Yes we are, and most people are really doing their part. I love yours about "air hugs" Mine are literally over the air via video calls. Thanks for rating and the heart. Stay safe!
Response: You too. I enjoyed yours as well. I am seeing a lot of good things happening from this that I hope last--like families doing more together and more working from home. Isn't is amazing how much the skies are clearing up all over the world? Thanks for rating and the heart! Stay safe.
Response: Yay! I'd forgotten all about that card. Someone sent it to me as a bonus in a swap. I've never been to the Carolina's. Would love to go some day. I always thought of Disney's ride, "Pirates of the Caribbeans" when I saw that PC.
Response: They're hoping to put it on later this year. We'll see... Thanks for rating and for the heart!
Response: Lol! I couldn't decide between the two, and I had more to say, so I sent both. Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I love Changing Hands and Bookmans too. Either works for me. I'm a costume storytime reader at Changing Hands every once in a while. She has about 4 of us she rotates through. Super fun to do!
Thanks for rating!

Even at his winter graduation the weather was so mild I only needed a sweater most of the time. Thanks for rating! Enjoy the cake. It's always a hit.Hardest part is getting all those different flours! lol!
Response: Thanks for rating and for the heart! Chandler has grown so much I hardly recognize it when I go down that way. I'm in North Central Phoenix, so that's not very often. But it's got a cool downtown now with a great little theater and some really good places to eat. A far cry from when I was growing up in Mesa and it was all cotton fields and orange groves.
Response: Thanks so much. Glad you like the kitties! They are sweethearts for sure!
Response: I'm so glad you like it! I just tried out an olive oil lemon cake recipe for my sons--they're both allergic to wheat and dairy, so it's perfect for them, and super moist and yummy! Love lemons! Thanks for the hearterd 5!

Thanks for letting me know.

Response: Thanks for the hearted 5! I'd be curious to hear how you like it. There are so many book clubs around here, it's crazy. I like one at a local bookstore called Changing Hands. It's an indie bookstore, but they get in some big names and huge crowds. Plus, it has a wine and coffee bar, so that makes it interesting too!

Response: Yay! Glad you liked it! Thanks for rating!
Response: Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that. I've never had that happen before. Would you like me to start a new card and resend? I do hope someone sends the travelng card home too. I will this just before I went in for back surgery so u don't know what I said there. It's a crazy time and still is. Thanks for reading anyway.
Response: Thanks so much! I'm so glad you liked all those puppies! We had a wonderful Christmas. Hope yours was great, too Happy New Year!

Sometimes I wish I could travel along with my mail and see why it arrives looking like it does!

Response: What a wonderful Idea! Ive just purged my craft room of stuff I'll never get around to making, but saved a bunch of tee shirts--the plan is a tee shirt quilt. The problem will be choosing them--I have enough for LOTS of quilts, but don't need that many! haha!

Response: So grateful that you like the owl. I really had fun creating this one. I'd be curious to see what you think of the book. I ended up with mixed feelings--it certainly stayed with me for a while, which to me is a sign of a good book/film, even when I don't like it!

Response: So glad you liked it. Curtis (how I knew him back then) was always a favorite of mine. Whenever I saw him once he'd made it to the Big Leagues; I'd ask him if he was keeping a journal and that I expected a book from him after he retired. I'm still waiting! Boy he'd have some stories, I think.
Response: I love it here, but boy, was it ever hot today! But I think that's probably true where you are as well. I hope your family loves the recipes!

Response: Glad you liked them! I have a pretty good stash!
Response: OH, my! I don't think I've done that before, but it's been a hectic time. I actually got a couple back just this week, so they've just been languishing out there. I know I've gotten partnered with someone whose card I have the last few times, so I've had to hold onto their cards. I imagine that's what has been happening. Thanks for taking care of it. Actually in this swap, the last person adds the stamp since it might need to be international. Thanks for adding my address, though!
