This is what became of THOSE pink & black spraypainted board books from a while back. Remember those desperately wild patterns? Remember how you thought, ‘HUH?’ and the alarms in your head began to ring? And the next day you went and bought a box of Good & Plenty but you didn’t know why…Remember? Huh? Do you? Well this is what happened. It’s where all the rash decisions and bizarre color schemes go when they die. Mailart limbo. And that’s where they stay until one of them zip zings its way into my frontal cortex and starts tap dancing.
More will be appearing in the next few days as they gallop across the dusty Texas panhandle and head east to their final destinations. This time the ponies went straight to my sister’s house in Kansas to make the first drop. At the same time those trusty steeds were pulling up to the mailbox, my other sister Dottie was speeding across the Flint Hills of Kansas and stopped to take this breathtaking photo. Pure visual poetry.
Meanwhile back at the ponderosa this is what was occupying Corky Lynn’s mind.
Okay, I’ve resisted writing you, even though you are fab and fun and I love, love, love your blog, but I can no longer hold back. Where, where, where did you get that best-white-pen-in-the-entire-universe, and is it really the best-white-pen? Can you write through other junk and will it keep writing?!? Does it hold its color, or do other colors bleed into it? Looks good from your site, but I need assurance before I plunk down dough, even for the best-white-pen-in-the-universe.
It has been very interesting to have a Google Alert for Blogs on “Kansas Flint Hills!”
Yours came up today!
We have a 22 county Flint Hills Tourism Coalition promoting visits to the Kansas Flint Hills – this is the website: http://www.kansasflinthills.travel/
Our web site is to promote the Kansas Flint Hills; and we are so happy to be in the 22 page color photo spread in National Geographic’s April Issue on the Kansas Flint Hills, as a distinctive landscape.
We would appreciate a link from your site, to ours, if you are willing to do so. THANKS!
Best wishes!
Bill 😉

You see that look on Corky Lynn’s face? That’s the kind of hopeful look I get when I go to check the mail… maybe, just maybe there will be a dispatch from LA in there. And if there is I roll around on the ground right then and there and wrestle with it. Then I remember the neighbors might be watching so I slowly get up and brush myself off and say “I meant to do that” to whomever might be watching, and then I walk calmly to my house and carefully open the package and lose myself in sheer delight. If I have a martini while I am doing it, it’s even better. Mail Art Dispatch #34 above was a 10+ on the art-o-meter scale.
Hmm? What? Just a minute I’ve got three good n plenty candies left..”he loves not, he loves me..he loves me not…damn!” Oh yes I know what your saying! Love when the light bulb comes on though!! 😀 Corky-Lynn says, “Mmmm…tastes like chicken!” Sorry I am in a silly mood today! *grin*…and I will have to agree 100 percent with Nicole…I love reading your posts and all the eye candy! YUM!
Not only are you a talented artist but a captivating writer as well. It’s been a treat reading your entries!
In the picture with the black and pink boards, I especially love the sleeping kitty on the chair. Something about furry cat bellies makes me happy.
