Today is also the start of Pen Pal

In addition to being catalpa day, today is also the day Pen Pal starts. On this day, Em and her friend Small Bill row out into the Gulf of Mexico, and Em throws her message in a bottle into the water.

Here's a (very amateur) picture to commemorate that.



In the next few months, I'll post pictures and things that go along with the letters and diary entries of Pen Pal--but without spoilers. I'm hoping to do a book giveaway on Goodreads, month by month, too, but I'm waiting for word from them, because I want to do it a little differently from the standard way.




ETA: And how nice: a message-in-a-bottle story came my way today, from the icebergs between Nunavut and Greenland to the shores of Ireland:

Not as awesome as what's in my *head*, needless to say, but thank you! Glad you liked it.

Very few things come out as amazing as what's in our heads.

Did you listen to that song I linked to?

We're talking about the ones from the museum exhibition? Those I did listen to. Or did I miss an entry?

Yeah.

I don't think you missed anything recently.
