NEW FEATURE ** LIVE VIDEO!! Click on IMG_0337 — A video of me showing you Cate’s “Thank You” puzzle. * I’m working on Cate’s puzzle. I needed a drink halfway through. Went for cranberry juice. Wanted vodka. I’m still not done. Finally at 2 AM I gave up for the night. Please Share
My pen pal Cate, age 7, sent me a thank you in the form of a puzzle today. I’ll show it to you after I put it together. Be patient… it may take me a few days! Video of Cate’s puzzle Please Share
Rainbow Loom bracelets are blowing up… and my penpal Cate, age 7, probably has one already and is busily creating bracelets. I got her some additional rubber bands and sent them with this note. It’s always fun to get something in the mail, even in a teeny tiny package. I want to create a sense…
Gloria’s typing has gotten better and better with each card she sends. I had a package of gifts taken over to her by Gloria Z., who works for me. (There are three Glorias. Gloria #1 — AKA “Auntie Gee Gee”. Gloria #2 — Gloria S. (who’s best friends with Gloria #1). and Gloria #3 —…
Cate F., age 7, sent me a piece of paper yesterday with notes and pictures on the front AND the back. An array of well-drawn animals — a dog, a cat, a fox, a mouse, an owl, a bunny, another mouse, and an elephant — all saying “THANK YOU”. On the other side Cate drew…
Here’s a close-up shot of the puzzle Cate F., my 7-year-old pen-pal, sent me from New York. It took me THREE days to figure it out. The pink shiny background is the square TARGET platter I rested it on as I tried to assemble it. It arrived as a tiny box. I was so enthralled…
After I give a party, I like to remember the high points. It’s my way of living the party all over again. A meditation, reflection. When I get a note from a friend — in this case, Gloria G., or “Gloria #1” as we call her (since we have three Glorias to distinguish between) —…
Cate Ferrall (my 7-year-old pen pal from New York) wrote to tell me: (a) Thanks for putting her cards on the website. (I sent her Daddy the link so she could see her work in “lights”). (b) The Dora doll I gave her little sister Grace — that got “lost” at Grandma’s here in California…

They love cats & gardening (Gloria #2) and jewelry, football and the movies (Gloria #1). I keep them supplied with AMC Movie tickets whenever I can… they choose carefully what to see and we talk about it afterwards….
