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 25
I sent two pieces of mail today. The first was a birthday card to my sister. I wish I’d thought to scan it first, but I mailed it, so it’s too late now. It had a sweet, sparkly picture of slices of cake. The other was a card to my nephew. This one was originallyContinue reading “Month of Letters, Day 25”
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, Days 15, 16, and 17
On Saturday, Feb. 15, I mailed a Postcrossing card to Steyer, Germany. Steyer is along the Rhine River, a little south of Mannheim. The card showed an illustration (below) of historic sites in the Charlottesville, Virginia, area. Days 16 and 17 were easy. Feb. 16 was Sunday, and the following day was the George WashingtonContinue reading “Month of Letters, Days 15, 16, and 17”
Month of Letters, Day 14
This morning I drove my son to school, which put me just a block from one of my favorite neighborhood cafes. Naturally, I stopped in for breakfast, bringing with me a blank card, a box of stationery (for subsequent pages), and the address of a pen pal in Massachusetts. It’s a good thing I hadContinue reading “Month of Letters, Day 14”
Month of Letters, Day 13
Today was a slow day for letter-writing, nearly halfway through the Month of Letters. I wrote and mailed just one Postcrossing postcard. The photo shows a “Virginia Is For Lovers” highway sign, and the card went to a Postcrosser in Kansas City, Kansas.
Month of Letters, Day 10
On Monday, February 10, the tenth day of the Month of Letters challenge to send at least one piece of mail each day in February, I sent two Postcrossing cards: To China, a superhero robot card. To The Netherlands, a card with a reproduction of the cover of an old pulp fiction book called Musk,Continue reading “Month of Letters, Day 10”
