I have my niece that is now 15 that I told you I send mail to regularly. She has trouble communicating in person but can get everything across in writing so always respond promptly to her. She has gotten really good at mail - I swear she can get a letter to me as quick as most people can get a text to me. I love sending mail but I try to keep it interesting so always include little treasures like lottery tickets, stickers, pictures, book marks, anything I see that I can mail easily. In addition to that I have 3 nieces and nephews in college and so I have to keep their mail boxes full since I do not do Skype. It is starting to get difficult to keep finding little surprises but check these out. First I have Mexican scratch tickets - they are real, have not been scratched and do not have one word of English on them! I think that will throw them all for a loop and worst case scenario they can bring them to Spanish class and have their teachers translate. In addition last week at the dog fair there was a stand selling handmade knit finger puppets --- how odd and random??? The thought of the kids Skyping with finger puppets and well I just could not pass it up. I cherish that I am the insane uncle but now I am on the hunt all over again for more stuff to mail. It is never ending but enjoyable.
