If you do a search for [Chistina] you will find some very nice envelopes done by the Christina who sent this envelope. I'm going to have to be careful to not mix up Mary and Christina. They are both close enough to Milwaukee to have a Milwaukee postmark - although neither of them live in Milwaukee. I do have some lovely pen pals in Milwaukee. It would be an ideal place to have our workshop/retreat that I dream about.
This envelope reminds me of a much harder one that I might find. The original was by Rachael and I did a couple versions of it. Christina's looks easier so I might have to appropriate the idea. If there are any orphan round stamps in my stash, I will for sure use them on this idea.

I'm still on my surfing sabbatical. I am cleaning out the folder with random things I saved when I was a surfer. This one reinforces my current point of view.
It looks like I saved it on Sept 3rd. I am not a fan of choosing a day to observe something. I'm OK with the major holidays but filling up the calendar with a day to observe something is a distraction. I guess if we return to our most <pause to think of the right word> I guess I will go with basic. When we were basic humans who didn't pollute and make weapons and then use them - did we have holidays? What was the first holiday? We don't need to consult Google to know that it must have been both summer and winter solstice. People were noticing those things in the sky and the patterns. And maybe equinoxes. Do people celebrate those?
If someone wants to toss out a different suggestion for what the first holiday was - please do. I'm all ears.
I will try to refrain from complaining about the holidays. Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I have a soft spot for T-day. My first kid was born on a the 1980 T-day. Maybe we can stretch this into a two day topic.
We can celebrate that I did not rant about the AI situation. Although Troy likes my rants. Maybe I'll rant about AI - since I do feel a kooky perspective bubbling up.
