mail call

while i was sick, 
the mail still came. 
wireless worked.
a few new goodies arrived
as i was becoming ill
and then during.
some i've written about
some are not yet seen, 
but sophie, and carol, and haystack, and pien
here they are!
 sophie munns sent me a book and a few goodies
that made me dance and shout
 carol showed me some tempting process photos, 
as did aimee
 these are mysterious
but there's even more mystery i can't write about, yet
 a place i want to go to this summer
maybe
and i may have some interesting teaching gigs popping up,
 can't give details till they're worked out.
 and pien rotterdam
someone i "met"
years and years ago as part of the YAHOO papermakers group
evertything was beautifully wrapped
 and her sample book was lovely
really fine papers
the kind that take your breath away
these and so much more 
(you know who you are, i've still got it all confused)
enriched my illness
with caring, and art, and thought, phone calls and interest,
enough so i was able to keep stitching
one     stitch     at     a     time     .
love makes it through the internet
i swear it.

  11. I lived in upstate NY for many years and yet have never heard of the Blue Line. What is that?

  12. if you have to be laid up and awfully unwell then a spot of t.l.c.-in-residence + snail mail is a treat. Thanks for posting your pics and a mention... and the mail in the snow... SO delightful!
    100% I hope very soon!

  13. faisal, i AM healing, thanks, and i like that funny red ladder, too.
    roberta, the blue line is the invisible line a legislator drew around the adirondack forest preserve in the 18 somethings...maybe 70's...designating all lands within it "forever wild"
    sophie, you are so sweet, the mail sure did help. taking the last antibiotic tonight!
