Hi Julie!

Hey, I'd go looking for a letterbox with an exotic Egyptian duck
anytime!

Anyway, I'm in NH - that's a bit far from Texas, right? :) Oh well, if
you're ever in the area - it does seem like letterboxing is booming in
New England - c'mon over! I don't think I'll be getting another one out
before Christmas (someone said snow soon!), but I'm fixing to have the
next one out by spring (hey, how's that for talkin' Texan?? when I
first heard that phrase, I thought all the kids I was screening had a
language impairment!).

Good luck with your boxes!

Nisa

Hi Nisa--

Nice to hear you'd accept my duck however she turns out...

>Anyway, I'm in NH - that's a bit far from Texas, right?
Yes it is, darn it...

I'ts shockingly realistic--when my kids come home with this phrase--which
they actually pick up from TEACHERS! (yikes) I give them a hard time about
it until they drop it. They may have been born here, but I wasn't and
there's only so much fixin' I can listen to...

Well, you may have been right!

Good luck getting another box out before the snow.
Julie




It could be that the real purpose of your life is only to serve as a
warning for others.



Want to buy a book? I'm trying to make a life-long dream come true and
open a bookshop. It's tiny, but it grows now and then. Come see!

Oh but I much prefer "fixin' to..." over the alternative I hear more often....
they leave off the middle of the word---the X for pete's sake-----and say
"fin" ...
"I'm FIN to go to work"

Oh PLEASE!!!!!
As for me, being a terrific procrastinator, I do enjoy saying "I'm thinkin'
about fixin' to get goin'...." hehehehe
