Curiouser and Curiouser

After getting assigned 5 'send tos' to Russia, in a row - I then received 4 postcards from The Netherlands in a row!





from Marie-Jose



from Martin (and it's a vintage card
that he found in a curiosity shop, too!)

from Marion


and from Hennie



Rather good cards, too.

To Russia, With Love

All three of the postcrossers I was assigned this morning to send postcards to, are in Russia. The novelty has added a bit of fun to what is already a blast - (sending postcards out into the world).

I even addressed one of them by hand in Cyrillic script. Mad fun.
Ta-Ta, for now...

PenPalWorld

I have a list of penpal sites I have been methodically checking out. They are not all equal. PenpalWorld is kinda sketchy - at least my experience with it has been thus far. The one person who seemed promising - says she sent a letter to me and it bounced back to her saying something like, 'no one lives there.' ... But we do! We do live here! And I have gotten really great mail all week long. Monday, I got a whole stack of catalogs and magazines - it was like flapping Christmas!

Anyway, I digress. On PenpalWorld it seems I am a magnet for those foreign scammer creeps with poorly accented English grammar ... And of course they're all just sure that I am the perfect match for them. Jeezum Crow guys - I just want to pass notes through the postal service not be drowned in insipid attempts to set me up for some scam or another. Sheesh!

PenpalWorld is a little too penpalweird for me.
