Listen to me when I say this! Don't ever try and get clever with the Duc! She'll turn it around on you in a hearbeat! Here's my story . . .
Last week a message from Rubaduc appeared in my Inbox with the subject reading "This is for Sue." Then her message followed that I should let Sue know somethin…
After many months of holding out, I finally dipped my big toe in the Facebook pool last Friday! Now I know how newbies feel when they attend their first gathering!
Almost immediately after joining, the requests started coming in via our email from various people who wanted to "befriend" us. Ok - who…

e we've posted, hasn't it! But boy have we done an awful lot.
First, we've been working on two gatherings for this year - The New Boxers Gathering that takes place at the end of April in West Dover, VT and the newly announced (and almost full) Bed & Boxing 3 that will take place in a mystery l…
Sue & I are sponsoring a New Boxers Gathering Weekend on April 23- 25 in West Dover, VT. It includes a Saturday learning experience where boxers will be shown the basics of everything from choosing an image, manipulation of the image, transfer to your carving media, some carving tool suggestions, cr…
Sue & I have not been doing much as far as letterboxing is concerned - we're putting away Christmas decorations! Don't even get me started - that's a story for another post!
Anyway, before I get in trouble . . . at least some of our letterboxing pals have been busy and we thought we'd bring a few o…
Chrismas morning held a special Pinecone Production for me - a pinecone quilt created by Sue! The picture to the left shows me unfolding the quilt after removing it from the wrappings.
During the years we've picked up various patterns of pinecone material that was purchased for the intent of creatin…
Sue & I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you might celebrate this time of year.
Our hope for you is that your home and hearth are warm; that all are healthy, that your house twinkles with the sound of laughter from those you love; and that your holiday table cont…
Are you fairly new to letterboxing?
Have you been boxing a while but want to learn some techniques that others have found to be successful in image transfer, carving, logbook-making, etc?
Several months ago there was some talk on the Newboxers list for a gathering that might give some instruction to…
Sue & I received an email from TRex several weeks ago. He had carved a Christmas-themed box last year and wanted to turn it into a traveling holiday box that he would send to a different boxer every year in various part of the US. He offered this box to us first to plant in our neck of the woods.
W…
Once again (and all too quickly,) it's that time of year - the holidays. A time for family and gifts and parties and shopping and running and rushing. Before all of that madness begins, we're reflecting on why, in this crazy economy, we are still so thankful.
While many are without jobs and the hol…

I've written before about how our 2 sons think Sue & I are a little nuts chasing Tupperware through the woods. Our oldest son, Matt, thinks letterboxing is a cult. Imagine???
Cults have secret words. Letterboxing has PFX and hitchhikers and such. It's not a cult, right?
Cults have meetings where the…
Remember Soupy Sales? Uncle Soupy?
Saturday mornings, growing up in the 50's through the 70's, were special with that killer morning line-up: The Soupy Sales Show, Sky King, Lone Ranger and others.
I still remember the craziness of Uncle Soupy! And the voices. Sure, he got in trouble at times but …
As difficult as it is to believe, Bed & Boxing Redux is next weekend - Friday, October 30 to Sunday, November 1 in beautiful Jackson, NH at the Whitney's Inn. It seems like just last week we had our first B & B event. This year the event takes place on Halloween weekend and we've decided to util…
Found!
It's always a thrill when a letterbox is found -- and sometimes it's a thrill when a clue is found, too!
Are any of our readers familiar with the Found Magazine web site or series of books (http://www.foundmagazine.com/)? This web site collects often strange, occasionally hilarious, and som…
In case you are ever wondering what kind of letterboxing policies might exist in one of your area parks or one that you might be visiting, the webmasters at the LBNA have made your life a whole lot easier!
Without any fanfare, they've introduced a new section on the website to cover Park Policies; a…

Thanks to Terri & Jim for another award-winning design. This team is responsible for last years Bed & Boxing patch as w…

If you missed last year's event, you'll want to make this one. Check out the AQ event page here and our special webpage w…
35!
Happy 35th wedding anniversary to my favorite letterboxer - Sue!
35 great years together and hopefully many, many more!
How do we even begin . . .
You might have read our story from July 13th entitled One of THOSE Moments. We told about meeting Tony & Veronica's new son, Patrick and how happy and proud we were for the 3 of them. Some of you might have seen the three of them at the America Boxes gathering in Coventry …
