Hi, folks,

The Piper clan holiday plans have shifted a bit, and I’ve got reliable on-line access for the next couple of days.

How about we move the schedule up a week? Cut-off for Round II can be tomorrow night instead of next week, an I’ll get the pm’s with addresses out tomorrow night or sometime Monday.

That gives us more time for a Round III if folks are so inclined in early September.

Sounds good. I may be moving again, so later into September is good.

To be clear, September would be great for a Round Three. Round Two cutoff sooner is fine. 🙂

Sounds good. I’ll draw up my grid of senders and addressees tonight or early tomorrow, and get them out to everyone.

Right - all the pms have gone out with the three addresses.

If I’ve missed anyone who signed up and you didn’t get a pm, please let me know.

**Atomic Mama** , I had to send it to you by e-mail because your private messages are turned off.

How about we set **Monday, August 20** as the cut-off date for postcards to be sent? That gives us all a week.

Great. I was wondering about this as mine won’t go out until Monday. I am going on vacation the next couple of days, and will buy some nice postcards while I am out.

Got mine, and realized that I took this coming Friday as a vacation day. Maybe I’ll go do something silly and touristy to get good postcards. 🙂
