THOSE PENPAL DAYS

I was thinking of not writing an entry to this week’s Nostalgia, Dang! I’m so dazed with tons of depressing scenes around here. Accidentally, while looking for some things that could save my day I stumbled on this 27-year old letter. I was digging deep down my murky memory where this letter came from… and later figured it out that once our family has a penpal in Alberta, Canada. I was still in my late elementary years during that time. I remember we exchange packages, we send exotic items to their family in Alberta and they send us lots of things too, you know the px things before.


But I don’t know what happened communication just shut-off. My curiosity actually made me search them online but can’t find them, or I just didn’t search enough, anyway, They’re the Hufnagl, the father’s name was Alfred and they have two boys at that time, this letter has a return address of 349 Scot Haven, 52246 Rge, Rd 232, Sherwood Park, Alberta…. So for those who are living somewhere in that area, I won’t make some favors for you to check, but some kind of things letting you know … nyahahahah!

Anyway, with last week’s entry on the logging truck thing, some has been asking --- OK, OK, I was the one in curly Bob Marley kinda hair in retro horizontal, multicolored stripes dress. Ngeeee! Walang kokontra!

Thanks for dropping by see you again next week for another round of Nostalgic Marveling at Roses’.
