Hi,

I love stamps. I sell postage stamps for a living!

Please tell me your thoughts on the CoronaVirus Covid-19 Pandemic. Are you afraid? Do you think your country is doing enough to fight it? How has this virus affected your life? Have you been vaccinated yet?

I was born in California and have lived in North Dakota, Alabama, Maryland (near Washington D.C.), Iowa, and now Minnesota. (My dad was a pilot in the US Air Force). I majored in Film Studies and History at the University of Iowa, became a Social Studies Teacher, then an immigration paralegal for 6 years. I opened my own vintage postage shop on Etsy in 2012. Check it out at EdelweissPost.com.

I got married in August 2011 to the most incredible, loving, sweet, cerebral, honest, man I know! (btw, I made vintage postage stamp bunting for our wedding cake, from my grandpa's collection, which you can see on our wedding video has been seen over 45,000 times on Vimeo~ Here's a link to it:

Our marriage became legal on August 12th, 2013 - thanks to the Minnesota State Legislature and our U.S. Supreme Court, which overturned DOMA!!!!

We have a 1 year old Irish Terrier named Georgie Girl. She is a little red devil, I mean angel.

Tell me:

What are you thoughts about Joe Biden as President of the United States?

Or:

About yourself, what you do, what your passion is, YOUR SECRETS (I won't tell anyone...), something interesting about your town, city or country: its history, politics, architecture, or what its famous for. Local flavor! I've only been to four other countries: Canada, Mexico, Italy, and Ireland (twice).

(p.s. I LOVE vintage postcards and interesting stamps! I also like mail art and "postcards" made out of stuff/packaging that you would usually throw away. Cut something out in the shape of a postcard and mail it to me. I will smile.)

Cheers
