PCE #16 Mailings & Reciepts

OK All,

I am shipping out my envelopes in the morning.

I picked up a large supply of Southeast Lighthouse Stamps yesterday (let's just say I can do about 18 in envelope exchanges).

I was able to use "special" stamps on 4 of the envelopes. The first three should be easy if you look at the participants.

The fourth one is on Shirin's. I'm curious to see if she can figure out why I used that particular stamp.

They should be arriving soon.

Dennis

Did we ever get a finalized mailing list? If so, I guess I don't have a copy of it. Could someone send me an e-mail of the list? Thanks!

Ooooh! A challenge huh Dennis? Looking forward to receiving the card and figuring it out.

My cards went in the mail on Saturday.

I had mine all printed out and ready to go when I realized that I had two for you Lori (it is stamped and ready to go, so I am sending you a bonus card) so I am wondering who I missed...

Larry

Larry,

I got the list from john and I updated it partially- adding your name and changing one of Lories to Dave Hannum and resent it to all and Dave noticed that Derith hadn't been added either so he revised it and resent it to all.

I got it so I assummed everyone else did also. I'm sending you the revised and correct list via e-mail.

Dennis

Thanks Dennis and Dave for the updated list. I guess I never saved the first list not thinking it was finalized.

Sorry about the 2 cards Larry but I will certainly enjoy getting them both .

My in-the-evelope PCE#16 cards are going out in today's mail.

You are going to have to look hard to find the lighthouse in this card, but if you read the accompanying historical information, you'll see where it is on the post card.

I've also included a photo of this lighthouse that I took on the historical information pages.

Enjoy.

Received Shirin's card and enclosure today, a very nice card that will find good "quarters" for safekeeping. Thanks!

The 16 of you who were also part of the PCE#14 will find that in your envelope as well. The 8 who were not will be receiving your PCE#14 separately.

St. John of the slow clock.

Mine went out today! Hooray!

Received your cards today Dennis. They are 2 new ones for the collection.

As for the stamp, the new Tybee Island Lighthouse stamp, I have some options here as to why. Could it be that this was my nephew's very first lighthouse?

Shirin,

You win the No Prize! Yes, I (for some unknown reason) maintained in by brain your post about taking your Nephew to a Lighthouse for the first time and it being Tybee.

I think it might have been because about the time you made that post I had just been there or was planning a trip there.

Now here's a trivia question for the semi-oldsters out there-

What is a No Prize and what did you have to do to win one?

Dennis

I must be too old to know what a No Prize is? But the prize I received today was the envelope of goodies from Dennis, very nice! Thanks!

Whoo hoo - a No Prize! Is that anything like an un-birthday?

I just received some very nice cards from Shirin and Dennis. All new ones to my collection. Thanks!

Well, they were awarded to people who read a type of book. Although, some would think using that term would be a stretch.

Dennis

I finished up all my envelopes this afternoon and they are at the post office. Everyone will receive the same packet.

Got Shirin's card a couple days ago and Dennis' showed up today. All new additions to the collection. Thank you both.

Dave

Dave,

I'm surprised that you didn't have those two cards- you were just there last weekend.

I figured you would be stocking up. It's one reason why I send my cards out so quickly this time.

Dennis

Received an evelope from Roxie today and it contained a card of one of my favorite lighthouses (2)! Also a sheet of some neat photos and one other item. It took me a while to figure that one out, being slow, but it did come to me. Thanks so much!

Well Monday's mail has brought me more postcards than bills! Received cards and info from Lorie Roe, JoanieO and John. Thanks guys. Great selections!

I got the same ones as Shirin did today.

I like the cards also. Some I've been to, and one I haven't been to.

Dennis

Like Shirin, my mail was full of PCE encelopes today. I received cards from Roxie, Lorie & JoanieO. Good job on the enclosures, and great cards. The reason I enjoy the "in envelope" exchanges is the letters/info that accompany the cards, especially when they tell of the senders lighthousing adventure or why they chose that light to send cards of. Adding your own pics to the letter is a bonus. Thanks to Roxie, Lorie & Joanie for their cards.

Dave

Yes today was a bonanza day for postcards. I received envelopes from Joanie, Lori and John. Thanks to all!

I too received card from John and Joanie today. Thanks!

Mailed mine out yesterday
JoAnn

Mine are in the mail this evening.

Lucinda got an idea and stamped each of them with a lighthouse stamp she picked up today. Bonus points to Suzanne if she can figure out what it is....

Thanks to all, its actually fun to come home and see the mail...

Larry -

A postage type stamp, a lighthouse passport type stamp or a inkpad type stamp?

Suzanne

It would be an inkstamp stamp.

Am I supposed to guess before or after I receive your postcard?

Suzanne

You can guess when you get it, that way I know that they are being received...

I received a card today from the Pixie. (Guess she was trying to get things done before her July gets kind of hectic). Another new one for the collection.

Dave

I got my card from Derith also. It's one I've been to.

Dennis

Finishing up my cards tonight. Will go in the mail on Saturday.

Have rec'd cards from : Lorie Roe, Dennis, Shirin, Roxie, Jo, Derith, John, & Joan. Thanks to everyone, its great reading all information sent along with the cards.

Larry - I got your postcard today.

I was going to guess Pottawatomie was the stamped lighthouse! Nice. Where did Lucinda find the stamp? (I guess we just need to draw the lantern room on.)

Suzanne

Oscars in Sturgeon Bay. They had most of the Door County lights there.

Was an expensive trip, loaded up on postcards for the round robins and then dropped stumbled across a bunch of lights that my wallet seemed to think I needed to have (looks like I might have some OT the next couple weeks )

Thanks are in order to Derith and JoAnn who's envelopes arrived on Saturday. Both are new cards to me and very nice!

Also Larry's card and info arrived today. I'll go along with Suzanne on the guess for the stamp. It's really neat. And I am so glad to receive a card of one of Larry's local lights! Thanks.

I was at Lake Powell for the past 6 days and came home to 4 new postcards! Thanks to Larry for 2, JoAnn, and Derith.

I just love it when I get new cards that I haven't seen before.

Rec'd an envelope from Larry today! Thanks Larry, a very lovely picture. As a new postcard collector I didn't have this one

I received a nice packet from Melody today. My son graduated from college near the lights on the card so I was able to see all of them.

Lorie,

Would that be either Old Dominion or William & Mary?

My son graduated from William & Mary in 2001.

I received Melody's envelope today. Very nice card and enclosures. Thanks!

My envelopes for this exchange were mailed this morning. The card is a pretty old one but it was the only card I could find in the whole town and I had to go two places to get enough.

Received Virginia LH multiview. No signature or return address. I give up. Who are you?

Charles

The Virginia card is from Melody - MelJB. There was a return address on the envelope mine came in. However, this is a good reminder to all to please sign your notes so we can remember who sent them in the future.

I've been getting something nearly everyday! Thank you to all, who make going to the mailbox more enjoyable!

Received an interesting card from Mombo today. A result of her recent outings with her daughter, I'm sure. I wonder if the little extra that was included means that she cut up 27 or so brochures??

Dave

I also received an envelope of goodies from Mombo today. Thanks Sue for adding to my newest collection.

#37 looked very inviting!

Melody

Yes Dave, I was forced to cut out that picture. I had taken a sample envelope up to the post office to check the postage and the postal clerk said it would cost 60 cents to mail each envelope. So I decided that I could "trim" things down in order to get away with one lighthouse stamp! Nothing much that wasn't already covered in what I sent.

Mine are in the mail today. I sent two different ones, one is Point Sur, CA and the other is Point Vicente, CA.
Ruthie

I just got done plowing through my mail of the last 3 weeks and found the following postcards-

Larry & Lucinda's, MELJB, J. Dawley and Mombo.

Thanks for making my mail more than just junk and bills!

Dennis

Received Ruthie's card and "stuff" today. Very nice, thanks!

I rec'd envelope from Ruthie today also. Thanks so much!

Melody
