I hope I'm posting to the right forum. I participated in a holiday card swap on here for Christmas. I submitted my husband Joseph and his cellie who's first name is John (I apologize I don't remember his last name) from Connecticut and they wanted me to sincerely thank those who sent them cards on their behalf. They loved getting them! You are awesome! My family loved helping out! Please include us next year!

Awww....cool, I'm glad to know he got them! He's mine. It's tricky because where he is, it's one of the places I used to work, but I'll see if Frankie will write him before he leaves prison and offically can't have any contact with past or present felons as part of his supervison. Putting him in the swaps though...they can't complain because the mail's not coming from either one of us directly

MomtoSRS · #9 01-02-2012, 12:22 PM

I got the cards that my son received, He is trying to clean out his area as he will be coming home next month.
I wanted to let everyone know that he got your card and I know he loved each one. Thank you

Thank you to Denise from Carl T. in AR.

cheylynne · #13 01-02-2012, 07:10 PM

I've received several Christmas card thank you's lately.

To those that sent my friend Teddy B in Texas a card he writes: "Let everyone know that I truly enjoyed every card that I've received. Everyone of y'alls thoughts touched a spot in my heart and put a smile on my face. I thank y'all deeply, and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!" He didn't include names, but thanks to each and everyone of you from Teddy and myself.

I received a nice Xmas card from Danny J in NC. He asks that I write back, but I've got my hands full right now. Would the OP please tell him thank you for the card?

I received an Xmas card from Elvis J in NC. Would the OP please let him know that I can't take on any more penpals, but thanks very much for the card.

Larry B from AZ wrote a letter asking me who Jane was and said she owes him a letter now. He also said to convey his thanks and appreciation to Christine in FL.

Randall D in FL sent a cute little card. Please tell him thank you from me.

Enrique Z in CA also questioned who Jane was and said that he had never written you, nor heard of you. He thinks you may be using a pseudo name and questions where I got his address. Could you please explain to him and thank him for the letter.

danndlion · #14 01-02-2012, 07:37 PM

Thank you ladies for everyone who sent a Christmas card to any of my friends!!! They've all been overwhelmed by the mail rolling in with their name on it!

Please feel free to write back to any of my pals who you'd like to (or PM me if you want to check specifically...I may miss your message in the threads as there are LOTS of thank yous being posted just now.)

Next, I have received thank you letters/cards from:

Anthony in Darrington Unit, TX (thru his friend Richard H.)

Mark J. in MI - He didn't know what PTO was if the OP wants to fill him in?

Jesse S. in CO

Brett H. in OH

Toby P. in IL

Larry D. in TN

....my mom helped me send our cards this year because I was working lots of extra hours, her name is Lana W. in TX, and I guess she confused a lot of our guys....oops. LOL

OPs, please let me know if it's okay for her to send an occasional card/letter to the above?

Thanks!

Dyan

Niki · #15 01-02-2012, 07:44 PM

Dyan, feel free to send whatever you like to Toby, Brett and Larry D

Poor Jane.....Enrique sent the same thing to me.....how could he just FORGET someone as sweet as her especially since they've been writing 7 months? I chose not to write him back and passed my thank you for his thank you on through her.

Stoneite · #17 01-03-2012, 12:14 AM

Thanks Nikkol! I'll get a letter off to Enrique and demystify him. If I'm feeling charitable (am I feeling charitable? not really!) it may be that he's thinking in terms of it being someone from the US and he just hasn't associated me with PTO. No more card swaps for him!

kirstyenarno · #18 01-03-2012, 07:32 AM

Today I received a letter from my penpal Carl H. in Texas. He wants to Thank everyone for the birthday cards you've send him (31st dec). He was so overwhelmed by them all, he forgot to mention your names....

He also gave me "the best friend of the year award"...

.... but I guess I should be thanking you all as well for making these little treasures happening for him.
So THANK YOU!!!!
Kirsty in the Netherlands

Is Jane the name you use when you write him?
Poor guy will probably feel just awful when he figures it out

jmanning · #20 01-03-2012, 08:59 AM

I got a thank you letter from M Schilz in N.H. I believe the OP is sweety83. I cannot do anymore penpals, can you please tell him.

**lisainengland** · #23 01-03-2012, 02:56 PM

I recieved two thank you's today. One from Lee S in CA and one from Wesley H in TX. If its ok with the OP's I would like to reply to both

mysticblue07 · #24 01-03-2012, 03:39 PM

I got a few thank you's today:

Antoine F. in WV, could the OP tell him thank you for the nice thank you note

Richard V. in FL, if the OP doesn't mind I'd like to respond to his letter. He was a little confused as to how he knew me or I got his info, but being that he's in FL is kinda hard to explain it to him.

*#1AndOnly* · #25 01-03-2012, 06:25 PM

Lisa youre always able to write Lee back

Tell him Shari sends her love xoxo
