If any of you enjoy writing and receiving letters -- the old-fashioned kind -- and have nobody to correspond with, I would love to be your pen pal! I love to write regular letters but have found most people respond in email or by calling. Now that I'm without email, I figured I'd have plenty of time to write, and when we do get back online I'll still want to sit and write letters, so if you're interested in staying in touch that way, my address (until next week sometime) is
[A message from your friendly local admin:
Please contact Patti (happymama58) or Beth (celebrate2727) via the forum's email for Patti's address.
Patti seems to be back online now.
Gabe your friendly local temporary Admin]
As soon as I get our new address I'll put it on my letters, but we also have this box for 5 or so months & my dd is picking up the mail almost every day, so I'll get all letters within a few days.
Thanks!
Some people search for happiness; others create it.

Hi Patti- we've talked before and i would love to write. I used to write to my dad when he was alive. i loved reading his letters. Plus i get mail from Byhzgrace- sweet ellen- and it is so much fun opening something new in the mail that is not "please pay by the due date" or addressed to "occupant".

Horseyrider, anyone who uses the internet (or works for public schools for that matter, which she used to) can have lots of stuff "found" on them. At least with a PO box, it's not her "home" address.

Patti -- I would love to be your penpal! Letter writing is becoming a lost art. I can do letters -- just don't mail art very well.
I agree it's not safe to put your address on a public forum. But anyone can get personal information about you on the internet whether you post your address or not. They can even Google your home address and get a satellite image of exactly where you live. Just because we all use the internet means we are fair game.

Patti Jenny, Mary Ann, Helen, Katee, Michele and Kay would you like to start a little pen pal group? Theres only 8 of us and that would be a managable amount to reply to. post cards are quick and easy too. Email me if you are interested.

Love to have you Sue. Thanks for the email Kay. I'll be in touch when I get home- I'm at my mother in laws fixing her computer. This is going to be such fun!

Hey Farm Girls!!
I was one of the farm girls who started the mail art project. I agree with Kay, I loved getting mail but it got to be overwhelming to have to create pieces to send out. I ended up buying lots of postcards and was sending those out for awhile but did not seem to get much response so I put the project on the back burner.
Would love to get involved-most of what you will receive from me will be postcards but please know that even if I do not write long messages, I truly treasure the farm girls.

Katee, Michele, Rose, Sue and Connie email me your address and I will put you on the list.
Patti, Jenny, Kay and Helen I have your info. If I get everyone so far we will be at 10 which I think is a good number.
So please get me your info quick. Then I will close this little group of ours, though if someone wants to start another one- go for it!
Does anyone want to name our little group?

Helen correct me if I'm wrong but I did a check through the post office and found that postcards to New Zealand cost .75 cents and air mail is .84 cents. That's a good deal!

| Hey me too, PLEASE!!lol As most of you can probably tell, I dont get a chance to get online all that much but love to keep in touch with everyone. Pen and paper I can take with me when my kids are at cheerleading, gymnastics, meets, practices, etc so it is way more convenient for me. |

Just waiting on Katee, Rose and Connie. Put together a list of everyone and also a little All About me insert for everyone to fill out. I will include this with your address sheet I send everything.
I like the post card idea. I'd rather hear from a friend even if it's just a quick card than not at all.

OK Beth, I emailed you my addy. :) I'm not great about writing, but this sounds fun! I had penpals when I was growing up and it was so much fun!
