Good afternoon Everyone!
I must admit that I’m playing it lazy today, and so plan to lounge on the couch until it’s time to go to work.
This week, I was glad to hear from Elsie here in California. I fell out of contact with her for a while because she moved, and I must not have received her change of address as a letter I sent her was returned. Can’t wait to reconnect with her.
I also received this awesome parcel from Franziska, in Detmold. I am drinking one of the teas she sent and look forward to drinking the others in the next few days. (Especially now that it’s raining again. Though, here’s hoping the rain doesn’t pick up until after work.) The Heimatland Lippe magazine she sent me is annotated with notes, which is a wonderful way to learn about the place, since I can’t read German, and of course, her letters are always a blast to read.
She also sent these really pretty stamps, which I have adhered to my Midori Notebook.
Well, I have to get writing, and then get to the P.O. for some stamps. Have a great day and week everyone!
