  2. I just received a lovely letter from a blogger friend. I savored every word as I sat out on the porch and read it. I just adore getting little packages and letters in the mail!

  4. Hey, thanks for sharing my little photo. I hope you recognized the hearts from the Manzanita beach that Marilyn and I put together! Actually, when I was on my trip, I thought it might be nice to send my hospice patient a postcard. She really appreciated that and today I will bring her some Idaho wild huckleberry hand lotion. Love doing little things like that, meed to do it more often!!

  5. Such pretty things in the mail, what a treat! Getting special things in the mail makes my day too. The most recent exciting thing that I received was when I took the Unravelling course, one of my fellow unravellers sent out postcards that she hand-made to many of the other people in our group. On each one she made a collage of her impressions of the person...the one she made about me was about embracing life, I was deeply touched. Hope you are having a great vacation! xo

  6. It is the BEST to get lovelies in the mail! I just gave an unexpected gift of one of my small paintings to a friend who recently had a good friend who died (she is a florist and was asked to do the flowers for his funeral and that crushed her) so I sent her a surprise gift. Sending you love sweet Kolleen!

    Last week a friend wanted me to help her paint faces, so I made a painting w/ her. At the end i let her keep my portrait :) She was pretty darn happy which made me pretty darn happy.

    Your pic is so cute!
    Loves to you,

  14. I love receiving mail too! It is so nice to have something besides junk and bills!! I recently sent a silly game to a friend for no reason except that it looked like a game she might really enjoy. I also sent off a book and a note to a friend who was under the weather. I rarely do this, but I found it to be fun and am sure that I am going to try to do this regularly.
