It's been a while since we last posted but we've been on a great adventure! Our youngest son, Steve, was married to his new bride, Katie, in West Dover, VT on July 3rd. Sue & I had a blast and enjoyed every minute. For years I have hoped for an excuse for a big party at our home in VT and these nupt…

A Fantastic Time!
A Thought or Two . . . .
I have a bunch of things to report and thought the easiest way to do that would be in a listing:
1) Our deepest sympathy goes out to Deanne (the Lazy Letterboxer) & Dave (the Letterboxing Ham,) our traveling companions and great friends, at the loss of Deanne's brother, Denis. Sue & I send our pray…

Two is Better Than One . . . I Think!!!
I know we've mentioned our youngest son, Steve, quite a few times here on our blog. Steve still lives with Sue & I but is getting married to Katie this coming July in VT. Sue & I have been looking forward to this wedding - I've always wanted to throw a party at our place in VT and this wedding is a…

Imagine a World Without Email!!!
This past Friday, Sue & I headed to Leominster to spend a weekend at the Pinecone Suite (Dave & Deanne's 3rd floor apartment) and box with the lazy ones. During the 2 hour drive up on, I said to Sue "imagine if there wasn't email - we wouldn't be on our way to Leominster this weekend. How it's chang…
Don't Ever Email Rubaduc!!!
Listen to me when I say this! Don't ever try and get clever with the Duc! She'll turn it around on you in a hearbeat! Here's my story . . .
Last week a message from Rubaduc appeared in my Inbox with the subject reading "This is for Sue." Then her message followed that I should let Sue know somethin…
Facebook??? Really???
After many months of holding out, I finally dipped my big toe in the Facebook pool last Friday! Now I know how newbies feel when they attend their first gathering!
Almost immediately after joining, the requests started coming in via our email from various people who wanted to "befriend" us. Ok - who…
It's Been A While . . .
Sinc
e we've posted, hasn't it! But boy have we done an awful lot.
First, we've been working on two gatherings for this year - The New Boxers Gathering that takes place at the end of April in West Dover, VT and the newly announced (and almost full) Bed & Boxing 3 that will take place in a mystery l…

So What Have Our Friends Been Up To . . .
Sue & I have not been doing much as far as letterboxing is concerned - we're putting away Christmas decorations! Don't even get me started - that's a story for another post!
Anyway, before I get in trouble . . . at least some of our letterboxing pals have been busy and we thought we'd bring a few o…
The Best Pinecone Production Ever!!!
Chrismas morning held a special Pinecone Production for me - a pinecone quilt created by Sue! The picture to the left shows me unfolding the quilt after removing it from the wrappings.
During the years we've picked up various patterns of pinecone material that was purchased for the intent of creatin…

Our hope for you is that your home and hearth are warm; that all are healthy, that your house twinkles with the sound of laughter from those you love; and that your holiday table cont…
Calling All New Boxers . . .
Are you fairly new to letterboxing?
Have you been boxing a while but want to learn some techniques that others have found to be successful in image transfer, carving, logbook-making, etc?
Several months ago there was some talk on the Newboxers list for a gathering that might give some instruction to…
Limited Christmas Letterbox Placed!!!
Sue & I received an email from TRex several weeks ago. He had carved a Christmas-themed box last year and wanted to turn it into a traveling holiday box that he would send to a different boxer every year in various part of the US. He offered this box to us first to plant in our neck of the woods.

So Why Are We Thankful?
Once again (and all too quickly,) it's that time of year - the holidays. A time for family and gifts and parties and shopping and running and rushing. Before all of that madness begins, we're reflecting on why, in this crazy economy, we are still so thankful.
While many are without jobs and the hol…

It's Not A Cult . . . . Right?
I've written before about how our 2 sons think Sue & I are a little nuts chasing Tupperware through the woods. Our oldest son, Matt, thinks letterboxing is a cult. Imagine???
Cults have secret words. Letterboxing has PFX and hitchhikers and such. It's not a cult, right?
Cults have meetings where the…
Remembering A Childhood Legend
Remember Soupy Sales? Uncle Soupy?
Saturday mornings, growing up in the 50's through the 70's, were special with that killer morning line-up: The Soupy Sales Show, Sky King, Lone Ranger and others.
I still remember the craziness of Uncle Soupy! And the voices. Sure, he got in trouble at times but …
