I get letters in my box from all over the world, a few are regulars in my mailbox and most are just visiting for the moment. I wanted to find out a bit about where these letters come from so here is what I decided to do. I am going to google the cities on the envelopes and share it on these posts for others to enjoy and for me to remember. I want to remember all the wonderful places I receive letters from.

The first is West Frankfort, IL where a new pen friend Elizabeth is from.

What have you lost recently?

Share what you have lost recently?

What have you lost recently? And what are you doing to try to get it back? Or are you now surprised to be glad you lost it?

Recently I lost my iphone when I got on a plan after a lay over at Dallas Lovefield. I sat down on my seat and the plane was getting ready to take off. I search for my phone to turn it off and couldn’t find it. I searched all my bags over and over finally giving in to the fact that I must have dropped it somewhere. I feel asleep on the flight and dreamed about what could have happened to my phone. When I woke up I was all okay with the fact that it was lost and all I could do was replace it when I got the opportunity.

I got up to use the ladies room and was walking back and what did I see but my phone under my seat. Oh wow if I would have had more room I would have jumped for joy, I felt such a relief not to have to do all the leg work to replace it. Also the fact that it was going to keep me connected to people in case I needed to over the course of the next week.
