I'd like to take this opportunity to thank "Tom No one" for
organizing this great event, and to Lady Alafair for her gorgeous
event book and stamp! The pictures that I have viewed thus far are
terrific (though my daughter, when viewing the pictures, asked
me "Why was the Frugal Gourmet at the letterboxing event?" - a
chuckle to Yachtsman!) and certainly captured the spirit of the day!

This was my very first letterboxing event, and a little rain was not
going to dissuade me from going! I am very grateful to Mary RI and
Safari Man for providing me with both transportation and
accommodations so that I could revel with you all. I finally
returned to my "winter" home today, and had a chance to count up the
event stamping (my hands are still a bit crimson).

**Shock !!**

2 Event Stamps
8 Found Stamps (guess I was lucky with a lot of magic words!)
42 eXchange Stamps - and there were folks there with whom I had
previously exchanged stamps, so their number is not even included!

I loved the Boo! box! Also snagged Nibiru and Canonicus.

The funny story from the day:

Since I live in Narragansett during the summer, I have been
corresponding, via email, with "Mad Mary". We "knew" each other in
cyberspace, and traded emails back and forth, and I even went to find
her letterbox earlier in the summer.

Now switch to Real Life. In Real Life, I met this really great woman
who worked in a business near my summer home, and we spent quite a
bit of time chatting in her store. I was sad to return to my winter
home (for many reasons) but one of the reasons why I was sad was
because I would miss this terrific woman with whom I had struck up a
friendship over the summer.

Fast forward to the Mystery Gathering. As I am busily stamping away,
I look up - and who is standing in front of me but my friend from the
store! And lo and behold, I discover that she is - hang on - Mad
Mary!

We both "knew" each other in cyberspace and in Real Life, and we had
never put the two together. What a riot for us both!

The endorphin rush from the day will keep me high for a week!

Thank you to, well, EVERYBODY !!!!
