From Easter Sunday night to Thursday, Sue and I are coming to Bushkill, PA. We had points that we had to use from our Disney timeshare and decided it was time that we took a trip to PA and the former home of buddy Silent Doug. Just far enough for a nice ride from CT without hopping a plane.
We've …
Sue & Mark at Steve & Katie's wedding, July 3, Mount Snow, VT
It's that time of year when we both face the new year with wonder and anticipation, and tend to look back at what just ended. And, for Sue & I, it was an action-packed 2010 to say the very least!
February found Sue & I in Florida - St…
Sue & I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year filled with all the promise of a new beginning.
Here's to hoping the economy begins to boom and people get back to work. We wish you peace, health, happiness and, of course, boxes, boxes and more boxes!
As we begin getting ready for the festivities of the Feast of the Seven Fishes for our family, Sue & I wanted to take a minute to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. May you, too, find some time this season to spend with those you love.
Our Christmas wish to you is a day filled w…
Years ago, Sue & I started selling boxing bands with our slogan "Get Out There & Box!!! After selling hundreds, sales slowed and we've been donating them to gatherings like Live & Breathe, LB Con and the annual Georgia shindig.
Well this week, Teacup from the wilds of Maine, sent an email inquiring …
Several years ago there were a few take offs on Clement Moore's Twas the Night Before Christmas that appeared on the Great Lakes talk list.
At that time, we asked permission to print them on our blog to share with everyone. The authors are Wisconsin Hiker and Ace Blazer. It's been a while so we tho…
We heard confirmation today via most of the letterboxing talk lists and on AQ that Live & Breathe 2 will be a reality. And to make matters even more exciting, New England is the location during Labor Day weekend of 2013! Der Mad Stamper specifically mentioned either New Hampshire or Massachusetts …
Sue & I would like to wish you all a great holiday. Even in a very soft economy, there is much for which we can give thanks.
And if you have too much leftover turkey, we might suggest this awesome recipe that we share this time of year.
Enjoy and be thankful!
Whether you are off from work or still on the job tomorrow, take some time to remember our veterans. Honor them for their sacrifice and for helping to keep us free. Sue & I would like to wish Happy Veterans Day to all of our armed forces around the world - some who even read this blog! We honor and…
By now, you are probably sick of hearing about our next Pinecone Adventure - our July Letterboxing Cruise to Alaska!!! But we have to discuss it one more time to ensure all of you who want to go know about this event.
Never happy with just the norm (the 7 night cruise), we also added an optional 4 …
We have 2 upcoming Pinecone Adventures - one in the immediate future and one next July but it also has a very current deadline!
Next weekend is our annual Bed & Boxing. This time we've switched to Vermont as our venue. And as always, there are a few twists & turns planned. Check out the AQ event pag…
I should be in bed right now!
Our son, Matt, is getting married to Meredith tomorrow at noon!
Sue & I had a great rehearsal dinner here at our house for the wedding party. We fed 33 people and were finished cleaning up by 8:30 pm! So I'm a bit charged up and Sue went to bed. I figured this was a g…
Yes - Laundry!
Your Letterboxing Laundry!
NoSox has just put out a cool series at Mt. Holyoke entitled Doin' A Little Laundry. This 10 box series is located at Whiting Street Reservoir in Holyoke, MA. Stamps are very creatively glued to camouflaged clothespins hanging on the branches of trees! Very…
It's nice to see that Silver Eagle of Texas is still planting boxes after all of these years. That's the silver one on the right of the picture, along with original letterboxer, Tom Cooch on the left, both of whom were at our Back to Our Roots gathering back in June of 2009 in West Dover, VT. Tom is…
Before we left for vacation, pal Tsuki Ames gave us a box for us to take to IL. It was the Illinois State Quarter that she had carved for a state coin postal series a while back. She felt, as did we, that IL was the perfect home for this artfully-carved little gem. So we did place it on October 1st…
Do you love to travel? How about a land tour that showcases the beauty of Alaska and breath-taking Denail Park? And then a 7 night sea cruise that travels along the Inner Passage with its quaint fishing villages, glaciers, history and wild life? How about if we throw in some great boxing as well as …
Sue & I are preparing to do what we do best - travel! This time, we're getting ready for our first Chicago trip to visit our pals, Tiptoe & Tonto! This whole trip was hatched during Back to Our Roots back about a year and a half ago so you can just imagine the amount of emails that have gone back an…
How have you all been? We're in between our sons' weddings (July 3 and October 10) and planning for an upcoming vacation the end of September. The following are little bits and pieces of news we would like to share with you:
* We've finally taken up the invite of boxing pals Tiptoe & Tonto, who have…
We have several gatherings that we're presently working on at this time. Gatherings are such a special way to meet letterboxers and learn. Our very first gatherings that we attending not only sealed the deal on our interest in this hobby but found it to be a vehicle by which we formed some very spec…
Sue & I finally got back to VT and had a great weekend. The weather on Saturday was terrific and we enjoyed Wilmington's Old Home Week Parade; a parade that brings Wilmington, VT born residents from all over the country to attend events. Saturday's highlight was a nice, old-fashioned parade down the…
