About Irene...
I love sewing, scrapbooking, doing all kinds of crafts. I love gardening. I love getting to know new people. And I love my family SO MUCH! I've been learning the piano recently and it is so much fun. I love to play for my family and bring them joy.
I really like stamps with flowers and sets of definitive stamps.
Any postcards are welcome!
--I started because I became jealous of my son receiving tons of postcards in the mail - he is the first in our family on postcrossing! His profile: (https://www.postcrossing.com/user/nadaozhongguoxin) He maintains my PC page and helps me do it all since I have a chronic illness, I'm retired, and I don't understand computers very well. :D
If you are willing and able to, my son enjoys collecting international banknotes and stamps.
His stamp collection: http://colnect.com/en/stamps/list/collection/philatelypostcrosser
His banknote collection: http://colnect.com/en/banknotes/list/collection/philatelypostcrosser
--for both, you can sort by country/year/denomination
My friend enjoys collecting sporks/odd combination cutlery. Thanks :D
WIth my family, I have visited:
Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tallinn, Gdansk, Copenhagen, Riga on a Baltic Cruise (2003)
Barcelona, Nice, Monaco, Rome, Olbia-Sardinia, Palermo-Sicily, Naples, Pisa on West Mediterranean Sea Cruise (2006)
I also visited my son when he was in China with my husband, we saw : Chongqing, Chengdu, Lijiang, Xianggelila (2013)
In 2015 we visited Alaska - Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Vancouver, and Carcross- Yukon Territory!
In 2018 we are planning another cruise trip to England and Ireland! I can't wait because my mom's ancestry is mostly Irish!
I am very proud of my oldest son who is a CPA, my daughter who is a missionary in Uruguay, and my youngest son who finished school in 2016, now looking for a job while staying at home with me, taking care of me.
Hope everyone has a beautiful day
Peace and Love from Virginia, Irene.
