3 weeks now, damn Mexican post

The voice of this guitar of mine, at the awakening of the morning, wants to sing its joy;

I sing to your volcanoes, to your meadows and flowers, that are like mementos of the greatest of my loves;

If I am to die away from you, may they say I am sleeping, and bring me back home.

16 days, not 3 weeks, feel like many will get their cards this week

Card received from penhorse87. Nice card Ken, thanks. Is the card one of your own? Looks good. What are the flowers? The seal came through the sorting equipment OK and gives a very professional feel to the whole thing.

While it is a homemade card, the image is not my own. My father was an avid photographer. He took that picture back in the mid 40's. I inherited his old slides and photos when he passed away. Have been scanning them in to try to retain them when the original media deteriorates. Glad you enjoyed.

Ditto on the cactus flower picture!

Really sorry about that loss. Well, not too sorry, but we here in Hokie Nation realize we did not deserve that win!! (But we'll take it anyway.) I was on College Avenue the night before the game and the Huskers were wonderful people & fine fans. Come again, or maybe we go there next year.

I think I've found the solution to the problem with feathering on the back of the Red River Postcard paper, and I think it would work for most any postcard back that is not coated (much) and feathers badly.

 

And the answer is Krylon Matte Finish Spray. I sprayed it on the back of the postcards after printing the 'postcard format' on the back, and the picture on the front. The Matte spray takes a bit of time to dry, and then it takes a bit longer for the FP ink to dry and it's easy to smear the FP ink while it the ink drys, but the ink doesn't feather at all. I think this is going to make me happy with my self printed cards.

A bunch of cards out today & yesterday.

 

 

And just something for you to think about. I started sending postcards to my nieces/nephews. I am told they love getting mail and have been writing me back. Postcards, just a few lines. Another way to get kids to love writing? Take that step!!

Much Love--Virginia

I have received some lovely cards lately.

 

Thanks to:

Robert for his photo of Julia Child's kitchen.

Deborah for her card from Oriole park.

Paul for his card of the Rockefeller centre.

Tripp for the awesome Biltmore estate that looks like something from England.

FredRydr for another of his awesome vintage cards.

 

And all of them had the same stamp :-)

 

A lot of cards have been sent out this week, hopefully they will reach their destinations soon.

Hoping you have a Happy Mail Day!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
