I love podcasts.

  • Favorite is Crime Junkie!!!! Followed by My Favorite Murder, Dateline, Criminal, Anatomy of Murder, and Park Predators.

We have two cats we saved from the local Animal Control. Bella on 30 January, 2015. She is a Tortie! Daisy we saved on 21 July, 2022. She is a grey/white Tabby. We also have a terrier mix (Half Australian Cattle dog and half Schnauzer) named Katie who is about 14.

Comment: Thanks for the snowy July card! We’ve been having crazy hot weather up north here, temps at 38°C 🥵 (I think that’s 100°F for you) I’m thankful that I work night shifts, when it cools off…I think I’d spontaneously combust or melt if I had to be outside working in this.
Response: You’re welcome. If I remember correctly this was a pretty Ohio pc with a horse pulling a carriage on the front. with a snowy/rainy background. I thought it was pretty. Hope you’re keeping cool!

Comment: Yay! It finally arrived! If mail could talk I'd love to hear the saga of its adventures in the USPS Zone of Uncertainty. Great swap, and worth waiting over 2 months for its arrival. Love your collaged envie. The bottom of the envie was almost completely open, but I don't think anything fell out. Your lovely note card containing 3 extra postcards and 3 cool solar/lunar related stickers were all intact. Thank you so much, Kaci. It's been an adventure!
Response: I am SO GLAD this finally arrived!! Sheesh, this is getting ridiculous with mail times. I am glad everything was still in the envelope. I think the mail machines need a tune up. Almost every thing I receive is torn up to some degree. Thank you for letting me know!!
