I love this discussion board and I love hearing form everyone electronically, but I miss actual written letters. Would anyone else like to be pen pals? I propose that we post little blurbs about ourselves here and then if others have similar interests they can email you and ask for your snail mail address. Wouldn't it be nice to get something pleasant and personal (and not a bill!) in the mail?

Speaking of other places that place ads for pen pals, I found some lovely queries for pen pals in Countryside magazine. They protect their customers individual pricacy as well.

Given that my friends joke about my "novels and or epistles" when I write to them "snail mail" fashion, I'd have to say that I love writing too. I love that you started this topic Kelly. If anyone would be interested, I'd love to exchange info. I'm not sure if my email shows up but it's eforestdragon@yahoo.com. Thank you (to anyone) for thinking of me ahead of time.
A brief bit about me: I'm a 41 yr old single mom, two kids (one of each-19 & 15ish). I moved my family from WA state in 2000 to PA looking to start over. I've been a lumber mill worker, sawyer, waittress, consession worker, medical lab processor, phlebotomist, transcriptionist, and now a social outreach assistant and CCD secretary and I'm looking for a home job to supplement my income. I've always had a deep yearning for a farmhouse with a wrap around porch and a couple acres, to learn to do all types of needlework,gardening and preserving, and (to keep it short) well pretty much what I see so many of you enjoying through your daily lives and I find inspiration in that.
I also agree that, although technology allows us to communicate faster, there is nothing so exciting or heartfelt as receiving a handwritten letter from someone. I think that speaks to how much someone means to us if we sit down and make the time to say what we feel, even if it's just "hey how are you, the weather's good, what's for supper".
Sincerely,
Dawnia

Rae,
I know it has been way too long since I've written. Please accept my apology. I just got back from a trip to see my folks.
I will be sending a letter out this Monday.
Thanks for being patient.
