Postcard feature: Slubberdegullion

SLUBBERDEGULLION.

Isn't that just the juiciest word ever?  I'll let you look it up.  You may find that someone you know comes quickly to mind.  Or maybe not, if you're so lucky as to have no slubberdegullions in your life.

I started a series of cards I think of as my vocabulary lessons.  I love doing the big letters which calligraphers call initiums and printers call drop caps.  And I love finding obscure, delicious, wonderful, nearly-forgotten words to resurrect from their dusty graves.





Dear Haylie, 8 yrs:  Oh, I do believe you can.  I have very strong thoughts about heaven.

Thank you for sending this card back to us.  I wish you every beautiful thing, including long rides horseback with your Mom through the most beautiful heavenly landscapes.  But not too soon.  Because earth life is wonderful too, and there is so much to learn.
