I previously mentioned joining the Letter Writer's Alliance and, happily, I received my membership card today. My life has been a flurry of activity lately and I have felt somewhat off balance being out of my comfy routine. In the midst of the flurry with many things on my mind I filed away the fact that I had joined the Alliance. So, it was with some surprise that I opened my mail box today to find an envelope addressed to me in my own writing. It was, of course, from the Letter Writers Alliance and contained a short letter of welcome and my membership card. I am once again enjoying the same happiness I initially felt when I sent $3 off to Chicago to join this grand institution. I'm not quite sure why things like this tickle me pink but they do and it somehow makes me feel a little more oriented. Now to sit down and read my mail. Finally, an evening at home with paper and pen. Bliss.

Thanks for visiting, Tammy. I wonder if part of the fun is due to feeling ourselves in the minority as though we were a handful of letter writers in a sea of technomaniacs.

I've received my membership a little while ago and decided to participate in the pen pal swap. I got my pen pal's name today. I thought it would be fun to have a pen pal in the LWA. I've already written my initial letter in anticipation.

Anna, I hope you enjoy your LWA penpal experience. I do not yet have a LWA pen pal but plan to mail in my request soon. Thanks for stopping by and I'd love to hear from you via snail mail sometime!

I received my membership late last month and love all the little goodies you can lay your hands on as a member. Haven't tried for a penpal yet as I am pretty flat out with pals as it is but perhaps in the future.
