Yesterday was the final day of LetterMo 2020 (also known as the Month of Letters). I had hoped to send a lot more for the grand finale, but life got in the way. I did manage to get out two pieces of mail: A letter in response to a card from a LetterMo participant (andContinue reading “Month of Letters, Day 29”

Month of Letters, Day 28
Wow, the Month of Letters challenge is almost over for 2020! I meant to mail some actual penpal-type letters on Friday, February 28, but we had some drama at home concerning my son’s desperate rush to complete an English assignment that absolutely, positively had to get submitted online to the teacher — and that requiredContinue reading “Month of Letters, Day 28”
Month of Letters, Day 27
Two outgoing letters today, the 27th day of February. So far I seem to have written to a lot more LetterMo participants than have written me back, so I’ll probably be inundated with replies these last few days of the month. To St. Petersburg, Russia, I sent a Postcrossing card that’s a reproduction of aContinue reading “Month of Letters, Day 27”
Month of Letters, Day 26
Yesterday was Wednesday, February 26. As the Month of Letters winds down, I am still doing my best to mail something every day. Or four somethings, three of which were Postcrossing cards : To Huntsville, Alabama, a letter to a LetterMo participant. This is my second letter to her this month, and is in responseContinue reading “Month of Letters, Day 26”
Month of Letters, Day 24
I sent one piece of mail today. This one was a chatty letter to a LetterMo writer in the Pacific Northwest. I wrote it in a restaurant between murals of Greek Isles, and longed for whitewashed houses, cobalt doors, and turquoise waters. Only a few more LetterMo days to go….
Month of Letters, Day 22 and Day 23
Just one letter mailed yesterday (Saturday, February 22) as part of the Month of Letters challenge. But I’m traveling, so at least I was able to send from a new spot, a box in a student dining hall at James Madison University, while waiting for my son’s turn to audition for All-State Orchestra. The letterContinue reading “Month of Letters, Day 22 and Day 23”
Month of Letters, Day 21
Two letters went out today for the Month of Letters challenge: A long letter to a LetterMo correspondent in Florida, USA. This was the inaugural letter for a new fountain pen, which I like very much, but I realize the pen requires a smoother paper than the textured stationery I used. I hope it’s notContinue reading “Month of Letters, Day 21”
Month of Letters, Day 20
Today, for the 20th day of February, I sent three pieces of mail for the Month of Letters challenge. All three were Postcrossing cards, two to Germany and one to the U.S. To Anklam, Germany, an atmospheric evening shot of Jackson Square in New Orleans. The Postcrosser there, a 28-year-old named Lydia, loves New OrleansContinue reading “Month of Letters, Day 20”
Month of Letters, Day 19
I managed to send only one piece of mail today. It was a postcard to a Postcrosser in Los Angeles. But at least it was a pretty one, a field of lupines by the water at Turnagain Arm, Alaska, a little south of Anchorage. The gorgeous blues and purples and the luminosity of the waterContinue reading “Month of Letters, Day 19”
Month of Letters, Day 18
For February 18, I sent just one letter in the Month of Letters challenge, but it had MailArt! I wrote a letter to a new LetterMo Friend, a correspondent in Colorado. She said she enjoys MailArt and does quite a bit of it herself — a whole lot more than I do. So I decidedContinue reading “Month of Letters, Day 18”
