I've got a bunch of new cards bought just for future Round Robin use.

Anyone want to start a new one? If I get 10 people to sign up here, I'll start it off.

With a Round Robin, the package gets passed from one person to another. It contains 10 different lighthouse cards. When you get the package, you choose any cards you want to keep from those in the package and insert an equal number of NEW cards to replace the ones you took.

IT might be fun to keep track here on which cards started out in the Round Robin and which ones it ended up with after making the circuit.

So I'm #1 on this list. Any others? Newbies and first-timers are most welcome.

John I have lots of extra cards and will join in as #2.

Put me down for #3!!!

I'm always up for more postcards! I'll take spot #4

Sure, I have plenty of extras and don't mind jumping into another robin. Count me in, and that will #5.

Joyce

sure, why not

Please put me down for #7. I've never tried this, and it sounds like fun!

Judy

OK, count me in! #8

Charles

John I can't say that I have any NEW CARDS but I do have lots of extra cards. As I allways buy extra just for the Round Robins. So sign me up as #9. And maybe I'll have one or two that somebody needs!

Whew! I've been waiting for a long time to participate in my first round robin. Sign me up as # 10!

Tammy

Looks like a wrap to me. If John doesn't have your mailing address, please send it to him so he can get the robin out of its nest . . . . .

Sanddollar - if you are Charles Bernith, I've got your address and all the others.

Except Judy -- I need your mailing address. Please email it to me and I'll include a set of labels in the package to make it easy to ship on to the next person.

Shortcake -- I've got your address in Mobile, but I think you're in FL. SO I need yours, too.

John

Okay...I've sent it to you , John.


Judy

Thanks, Judy...

It's packaged up and ready to go in tomorrow's mail. It's in a stiff resuable mailer. Open it carefully and you'll be able to resend the package in it. It takes $1.29 for first class postage.

There's a sheet of labels with two columns of identical labels -- one side to be used as your return address label and the other as the address for the next person on the list.

The order for mailing is:

Shirin Pagels
Joyce Holland
Dave Hannum
Randy Kremer
Stephanie Dingler
Tammy Wolfe
Lorie Roe
Charles Bernth
Judy Castleberry
John Chidester

I put Charles down the list in case that's not the right Charles. And I recalled that Shortcake is getting her mail through Mobile in the past.

The package is starting off with 10 cards, 8 from Oregon and the west coast + a couple from the outer banks.

Let's set a record on how fast we can send this 'robin' out and on!!

Enjoy, enjoy...

It is me - Charles Bernth - Sanddollar

Received cards from Shirin today, removed and replaced 5, and went right down to the post office and sent it on it's way to Dave. I want to help break a record on timing.

Joyce

I will be out of town thru late Saturday, Joyce, but I will have the cards back in the mail Monday morning (presuming the USPS gets them here first).

Dave

Cards were waiting for me when I got home last night. Nice selection this time around! Will take and replace, have them out to Randy tomorrow.

Dave

Arrived Saturday from Big Dave.

Took 7, replaced 7.

Sent out today, heading South to Stephanie.

5 days to get to Randy???????????? Geez, that's a whole 200 or so miles. A mule on it's death bed could do better than that. Great job, USPS.

Sadly Dave, I think it's only about 100 miles! (Give or take a few!)

Makes you wander, don't it???

Yeah, Dave does tend to wander......

Received my mail package today! And man was it FULL!

One Round Robin, one PCE#19, two Christmas Cards, three PCE#18 , a nice letter from John Gaskill, and one PCE#14. And we won't talk about all the bills that wore in it too!

The Robin has been plucked and re-feathered and is now ready to fly out again with the morning mail. Headed your way Tammy!

Stephanie

Hello. I received my first round robin yesterday. I kept all 10 cards and replaced with 10 new ones. I mailed it to Lorie today.

Tammy

I'll be on the lookout Tammy. Let's see how long it takes to head west during the last few days before Christmas.

The postal system never ceases to amaze me. I received the RR packet from Tammy today. It made it from Minnesota to Utah in 2 days!

I'll take a look at the cards and have it back in the mail Monday morning to Charles.

OK...the RR is ready to fly east to Charles this morning. I took out and replaced 9 cards from Tammy.

Received the swap yesterday. Took 2 cards out, put 2 cards in & off to Virginia tomorrow

Charles

Will be watching for the Robin to land here!

Judy

The Robin arrived here in Virginia yesterday afternoon.

I've taken 5 out and replaced these with 5 new ones, plus a "bonus" card, and it will be off flying to John in Arizona shortly!

My first postcard Robin!

Judy

OK, the robin has returned to roost in AZ. I have sent a note to those who participated this time around. We will get this one back on the road in a week or so. If there is someone (or maybe a couple) who would like to participate, please post a note here to let me know.

Dave, have sent you my address by email, and will still participate.

Joyce

I'd like to get in.
Bob

Dave, any chance of adding my name to this round robin? Do you need my address?
Darlene

I have also added Jen Selwa who indicated an interest in joining. So, that makes 3 new players - no more unless one of the current folks do not wish to continue.

Dave

Would love to join one of these if I could, so if one of the originals does not wish to remain in the round, I would love to be a part of one.

Dave,

I'm interested in participating in round 2.

Tammy

Dave, please remove me from this robin so that members who have not participated can have a chance to add some great cards to their collection. There is no need for me to be in all of the currently active robins. Time to share with others who want to get in on the fun!

Dave, please remove me from this one as well. I'll set this one out and try to get back on at a later date.

Just too much I need to concentrate on right now.

Thanks!

Judy

Dave
I'd still like to participate if possible.

Charles

It is time to start RR8, Round 2! I will be putting an envelope full of cards into the hands of the USPS tomorrow. Hopefully they will quickly make their way east. Here is the sequence we will follow:

Charles Bernth
Jenifer Selwa
Darlene Cook
Bob Scroope
Eileen Dunlap
Lorie Roe
Randy Kremer
George B Hood
Joyce Holland
Tammy Wolfe
Stephanie Dingler
Dave Hannum

Please be sure to post a note here when you receive the envelope containing the robin, and when you put it into the mail. Try to get it back on its' way within 2-3 days or let me know vis email.

Charles, have these cards not yet reached you?

Not yet. Maybe later today when I go to the PO

Still nothing received here.

Charles

Good news folks. The envelope arrived today. I took out 3 cards, put 3 cards in & will send to Jenifer tomorrow.

Charles

19 days to go like 600 miles - got to love the USPS when they perform so well. I didn't realize they were hand walking it all the way to the east coast. Nice that it finally appeared - I was about to put together a new set of cards of restart the blasted thing!

I'm sure there have been cutbacks at the USPS. Our local PO is now closed between 11a and Noon each day. When our last mailman retired his route was added onto the other routes. One thing I wonder is how much longer we'll have Saturday deliveries.

Post script to this incident-I did a trade with a gal in Finland, she mailed last Friday from Helsinki & after a weekend and a national holiday on Monday it was waiting for me on Tuesday. Go figure!!!!!!!!

Charles

Anyone know where this RR is?

Jen's a little *GULP* guilty of being slow. I was in California when it came and it was on my counter when I came home on 2/24. I've been so tied up the last several days it completely slipped my mind. It will be in the mail tomorrow. So Sorry! :rolleyes:

I am going to make a modification to this robin so that it can speed its way to the end - I am going to start a second set of cards in the mail to Randy tomorrow. Lorie will forward the robin she receives to me.

Please see this thread to learn a little more about what we are doing.

Dave

Received Big Dave's package on Saturday. Took/replaced 6 cards - back in the mail today going to NC. Nice selection Dave!

Was it a golden selection, Randy? Feel free to send any of your spare gold pieces this way in recognition of the great stock of cards I sent you. . . .

Received RR from Jennifer on Monday the 15th; went back in mail this morning to Bob. Sorry Bob it is mostly Washington cards--finally a RR that had a number of cards in it I did not have.

Received the Robin from RandyK today, 3/19. Goes out in the mail 3/20 to Joyce Holland.

(Transferred this reply from RR7 thread to this one.)

Got the Robin from George and it will fly out of Chesapeake today to Tammy. Took and replaced 2 cards.

Joyce

Today I received the robin from Joyce. There were a few very interesting cards in the bunch. I don't think I have any of them. So, I kept them all. Thanks!

I replaced with 10 from 10 different states. (Most of my extras are larger sized postcards.) Wish I could say that I have seen all of these lights...

Stephanie, I will put the robin in the mail to you tomorrow. I hope you like the cards.

HI. Received cards on the 25th. Have had more going on since got back from FLA regional, but will put back in the mail tomorrow. Sorry guys, I am showing my RR inexperience, but am glad this one was split up to help people like me. Next stop is Lorie in beautiful Utah! I took 3 of places I would like to visit but have not had a chance yet. Happy trails! :rolleyes:

I received the RR from Eileen today. I'll look through the cards tonight and have it back in the mail tomorrow to Dave.

This will about wrap up this 1/2 of the RR. I'll be ready for the start-up of the new and improved RR's.

Receive the first part of the robin back today. Great cards in there, some really neat views! Thanks to all who contributed to the stack!

As soon as I get back the second half, I will divide up those who have signed up for robins into three robins for the cycle to start over.

My mail package arrived today containing the Round Robin. I will take it to the postoffice tomorrow so Dave should have it sometime early week.

Stephanie

I received the robin back from Stephanie yesterday. That concludes RR8. The new ones will start up very soon.......
