About Me

I am newly retired and working on downsizing big time.

I love writing. I have been writing pen pals for 53 years.


Concerning Ratings: My "1" rating is from 2019 during a family emergency. I've contacted the recipient but she's not been on SB since 2019 so I don't have a lot of hope of being able to make up for it.

Current Interests

I splurged on an Instax camera and have fun using it.

I have a garden that keeps me busy and fed.

I have a booth in an antique/craft store to help get rid of things and give me a little cash.

I am attempting my hand at zines again.

I started a secret YouTube channel since retiring.

I would like penpals, be it one off or a friendship that lasts years.

I like to work on my glue book which I find very relaxing. I use composition notebooks and have several in the works.

I don't have a television.

I am very much into frugal living.

Favorite Swaps

I am not collecting much these days. I do enjoy the tacky, absurd and bizarre. Items with a Catholic bent alway catch my eye. I also enjoy anything Jewish, yiddish or kosher.

I do like flamingos. They represent balance.

I have a overwhelming amount of letter writing stationery that I've collected over the years. There are enough books in my home to never have to buy another again. I need to merge my fantasy self into my reality self. Now that I have time I can start.

I am mainly interested in letter writing, journaling or postcard swaps. My favorites are journal swaps of all kinds be it a week or month. I also enjoy question a day or listing types. If you have these and want to swap or even do private swaps let me know!! I prefer real letters and journals, not email. Call me old fashioned.

I also have a large collection of art supplies. I could open a store in my own home.

Bye

Response: Thanks for the info. That means it is all getting sent further away rather than Green Bay which is closer.

Comment: Thank you for the weekend review! I hope you have quiet weekends in the future! Harvest season we will soon hear tractors back and forth for several nights. I recently saw some bunnies in our yard! The garden is about over.

Comment: What a lovely letter, I so enjoyed reading about your weekend! Tadpoles! Ha... I would stare at them every day! :) I've heard of people cutting their hay later in the season, to give the birds time to finish nesting. That's awesome that you do that!! And pastels in the park?! oh yeah! Thank you for sharing, and for the extra stickers! ♥♥!

Comment: Thank you for the great shot of your cute post office! It looks very similar to mine! I also live in a little town (believe it or not, New Jersey is not all city!) and we live at the base of the Sourland Mountain Preserve. I love learning about where people live, what's special about their area and about the people who live there. It fascinates me!! The Amish community is 2 hours from me but we frequently visit that area for delicious, fresh produce and PIES!! Its worth the drive!! Thank you again!! xx Gabi
