About Me

A customer came in to the Post Office where I work and I thought this sounded like fun! I live in a small coastal town in Oregon where there is an abundance of wonderful fresh seafood, and I am five minutes from the ocean. I feel very blessed to live in such a gorgeous area of the country.

I am fairly artistic, and I am just starting to make time for it again after raising two kids. I love calligraphy and oil painting, and I want to get back into knitting and embroidering.

I love to read, and a good book can keep me up all night. I love to cook as well, and used to do so for a living. Of course I am a chocoholic. Raspberry is my most favorite flavor, and I am currently growing red, black and yellow ones in my back yard.

I love both coffee and tea, and I am drinking more tea lately.

As my name implies, I am in the military, having served 24 years in the Air National Guard/USAF Reserves.

I prefer cats to dogs, having had 12 at one time when I lived out in the country. I am down to two at the present time.

My most favorite colors are green, turquoise and purple, although I love them all.

I love old movies. And popcorn is also a bonus. I don't watch much TV anymore (there is too much going on in real life!). I love to travel.

Comment: Very fun to receive your package and all the extra goodies! I loved reading your letter and looking at the postcards and visitor's guide. I love the coast! Thanks for the sand dollar (it arrived safe and sound!) and the legend of the sand dollar magnet--very cool! ♥
Response: Thank you so much for the heart!! I'm glad you liked the sand dollar and that it didn't get smooshed. I feel like I died and went to heaven when I moved here.

Comment: Thanks for the great letter and extras. I <3 Oregon and I am so jealous! I'd love to switch coasts. I was born in Eugene (we moved when I was too young to remember) and I think OR is in my blood. Everytime I visit it feels like home. I love Eugene, Portland, Bend, Bandon, and Sisters. I've never been to Garibaldi though!
Response: Thank you so much for the heart! I know what you mean about OR getting in your blood. When I lived in Texas I missed 4 seasons, snow, the beach, fresh seafood, berries of all kinds, mountains, etc. I was born and lived here most of my life. Let me know If I can send you something from here!

Comment: I'm not sure I could live where you do, I'm to scared of the water. But, actually, maybe not the water, but what's in it!!! Rated a 5
Response: I didn't learn to swim until I was 34, but I am still afraid of water (you won't catch me in a boat! And I didn't join the Navy/Coast Guard for a reason). With a crab horoscope figure, I've always been drawn to the ocean. The beautiful sunsets and plentiful seafood make up for the water phobia.I don't look forward to a tsunami so I live a little ways inland.

Hi; I have checked and it is prohibited to send coins to Portugal; nevertheless, I have received coins in the past with no problems whatsoever. To my knowledge, it shouldn't pose any kind of problem as long as the coins are well concealed. This said, to my partners, please ignore the prohibition if you may. :)
tkichinka on Jul 22, 2007:

Thank you for the forwarning. If not everyone recieves their coins due to this problem, I guess we'll have to figure something out or be creative.

I didn't think it be a problem.

Why is that? Perhaps I will just write on the letter suvenior? One of my partners are American.

I don't want people to get a bad rating.

Yes, I understand what you mean. There's this one time where I sent a mail (surface) to Belgium and it took only 9 days! Really surprising.

So far, to US has been okay. But UK is really terrible. It's been more than a month! I try to use air mail as much as possible, like you've said, flat envie, etc.

Thanks so much for your advice and generosity. Good to meet such nice people like you around Swap-Bot!

Maybe we could have a one-on-one swap sometime?
hyperoma on Jun 16, 2007:

Aww, thank you for being so generous!

We have a few things in common! I prefer cats to dogs as well, and my favourite colour is green!
