Hi Mary! How are you doing? We've have been extremely busy with school
stuff and now Tae Kwon Do five or six times a week after school. You should
hear Madeleine yell "EEEEEAAAAAAA!" Yup, she's the best yeller they've
got!!

I am hoping once Halloween is through and this charity event I am working on
is over, that we will have more time for boxing. As it is now, it seems
that we only have time when we are away!!

Hope you are having more luck than we are! Take care! Nancy

Thanks so much for the update. We are very happy to hear that it is
starting to get around now. We would kind of like to have it make
its way back to Wa to the Dancing at Bougival Letterbox by Valentines
Day next year as this is where it all started.

By the way, could you pass along a request from us Nails? The email
address listed in the log book is no longer active. Could you or
whoever has the box at this time change the contact email address in
the log book to the7nails @ yahoo . com . This will ensure that we
are able to keep tabs on its whereabouts.

Thanks again and I hope you are enjoying the dance as much as we are.

Nailhead and Happy Mom of the Nail Family

Thank-you to Seeker of Flags and Reporter at Large for delivering the Dancing at Bougival HH to me from Mary of Va! It's a touching poem and very nice stamp Nails & I love the 'box'! I couldn't bring myself to stamp it with black ink and cover all the color that had been used to stamp it previously...So, I made a special trip to the store for some markers. It was the first time I had used markers to color a stamp and was very impressed with the color saturation (I hadn't expected it to come out so crisp & dark). I still used colored pencils to enhance the nice image a bit further (colored in her dress) :-)-old habits are hard to break. I will be taking it to our F-100 gathering this weekend and it will go home with the letterboxer that is most likely to meet with another letterboxer soon (or it will have to go in the mail). The box is too nice to leave it out in the woods. I made an additional log book for it too, since the first will be nearly full after the gather (both fit easily in the box with the stamp).

Thanks again!
