MAIL CALL!

From Bernadette Devine, Terlingua School

                             

For our geography project this year, our Second and Third Grade students are hoping that YOU will send us a postcard - from your own town AND from any place(s) you visit.

Please write one or two legible sentences about the location, appropriate to 8-9 year old students. Interesting facts or observations are encouraged.

Whether you're in a state capitol, your backyard, a foreign country, a national park, visiting relatives or friends, fueling up at a truck stop, enjoying a museum or rodeo or carnival, or on your way to see the Home of the World's Largest Ball of Twine, we want to hear from you!

Feel free to share/invite others to this event.

Mail your postcard to:
2nd & 3rd grade Paisanos

Card#2 Me and my dog Goldie, December 2007

Just got the rest of the postcard order in today and they are good to go.  Over the next 11 days I will be posting a sample here.  The sets are packed and ready to ship just in time for Christmas.  12 Field Lab postcards for five bucks including shipping.  Buy 4 sets for only 18 bucks.  The first 250 orders get a free bonus Benita postcard.  You can send cash through the mail to John Wells 2500 Mailbox Rd. Alpine, TX  79830 or paypal me at my email address - lifeoffthegrid@yahoo.com   All proceeds to help sustain the Field Lab experience.

Worked on the Ural all morning.  Did a down'n'dirty purge of the left carburetor, then changed the air filter and spark plugs.  It's riding sweetly again!   61,82,38,0,C

Input

Thanks for all the marketing ideas...I always welcome suggestions.  Two things I will never do is fill my blog up with Google Ads or put up a Donate button.  If I have something to sell, it won't be someone else's ad and I will never ask for a donation. Nor will I ever ask someone to pay me to come build something for me just to learn how to do it. 

That being said...I just received part of my latest postcard order and completed the order for a set of 12 Fieldlab postcards to be offered up for sale just in time for Christmas. http://www.vistaprint.com/   The set includes some of my favorite images that document my new life in the desert over the past 3 years.  This photo of Benita is one of them. Ordering details in about a week. 54,78,38,0,B

repiled...

A couple of days ago, either a 4 legged creature (no names) or nature felled my east rock pile on the new wall out front.  Decided fixing that would be the only physical labor today as I am resting up for 3 big concrete pours.  Filled in the day by gathering the photo files for a set of Field Lab postcards to be printed up and offered for sale next month.  My friend JD helped me cull the blog archives for a choice selection of images.  78,90,49,0,C
