Comment: This PC is huge! I really like it. I ended up needing to postpone on the marathon, sadly. Maybe 2025 will be my year!! I wish you continued healing!

Comment: Thank you so much for the deco and the cards! I may have to check out Looking for Love in All the Haunted Places-- I'm doing a reread of the Diviners series currently (more specifically, I'm rereading the first two so that I can catch up for the third and fourth that I haven't read). It takes place in a mystical world of 1920s New York and I highly recommend it! It's pretty spooky though. Happy swapping! I love the notecard too.
Response: you are welcome. It was really a cute cozy book. I will check out the diviners series. Thank you.

Comment: Here I was thinking that our communication was one sided (lol, you’ll understand when you get my letter). I too am a fan of KettleCooked mesquite bbq chips but I have a “ look but don’t buy” policy. Because with those chips, an open bag is an empty bag! Take care!
Response: looking forward to your letter. Oh my goodness those chips are so good. I will only live once, lol so I will buy them. treat yourself! Ha ha thank you.

Comment: Thank-you so much for the lovely vintage postalette and note (and photos!). I went on an online deep dive with the info on the back of one of the pictures (info on the paper company) and it ended up in a funny google street view story I shared with my Mom. Nice way to entertain myself for an hour of downtime on a random weekday! I haven't sent any PCs back to addresses, but there is an identical street address to mine, except located in another Canadian province, and I think I might send them a card at Christmastime, just for fun:) Hope you have a great weekend!
Response: Wow!! That took its time to get to you. I am SO glad it arrived. I like your idea about sending that christmas card, lol. Thank you.
