About Me

I was born and raised in Virginia, but now I live in Pennsylvania with my husband and 4 cats. We also have an adopted timber wolf who lives in a sanctuary. I love video games, hiking, geocaching, traveling, learning languages, crossword puzzles, documentaries on any subject, and American football (Go Cowboys!).

I had penpals when I was younger and I've just recently gotten into Postcrossing and snail mailing. Nothing is more exciting than opening the mailbox and finding a surprise from somewhere else in the world!

My profile picture was taken in front of Gullfoss during my trip to Iceland in February 2017. Although I missed out on the northern lights, it was an amazing trip and I can't wait to go back!

A note about mailing dates: I mark my items mailed when I put them in my mailbox. However, I live in a small town and our carrier delivers on foot, and on busy or bad weather days he might not make it back to the post office before the mail truck leaves. Therefore, items may not be postmarked until a day later.

Tea Preferences

I like most kinds of tea, especially spiced/fruity/dessert teas. I love to try new flavors. I love chai, salted caramel, apple, peach, orange spice, grapefruit. I'm not fond of bergamot.

Some of my favorites:

From Canada: PC Chocolatey Chai

From Netherlands: Pickwick Dutch Tea Blend

From Turkey: Dogus Apple Tea

From Slovakia: Mistral Magic Time

From Germany: Messmer Rooibos-Vanilla

From Hong Kong: Or Tea? Yin Yang

Please no Bigelow Vanilla Chai - loved the taste but it made me break out in hives. Other Bigelow teas are fine and other brands of chai are fine :)

  • magnets
  • small flag of your country
  • non-US coins or small bills
  • elongated coins (pressed pennies)
  • stationary and pens

  • air mail/par avion labels
  • lip gloss/lip balm
  • nail polish
  • good luck items (4 leaf clovers, horseshoes, etc)
  • Japanese Gashapon

Dislikes

  • licorice
  • cheese flavored snacks
  • strong perfumes
  • spiders/insects
  • clowns
  • erotica (artistic nudity is fine)

Quotes

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." - Henry David Thoreau

"Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean." - John Muir

"Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity." - Unknown

"After all, tomorrow is another day." - Scarlett O'Hara

Comment: What an adorable card. I can feel Santa just relaxing there and taking in the sunset with his buddy, , something he probably rarely has a chance to do! Thank you for sending an unusual card to go up on my "wall of cheer."
