asakiyumeIn addition to being catalpa day, today is also the day Pen Pal starts. On this day, Em and her friend Small Bill row out into the Gulf of Mexico, and Em throws her message in a bottle into the water.
Here's a (very amateur) picture to commemorate that.
In the next few months, I'll post pictures and things that go along with the letters and diary entries of Pen Pal--but without spoilers. I'm hoping to do a book giveaway on Goodreads, month by month, too, but I'm waiting for word from them, because I want to do it a little differently from the standard way.
ETA: And how nice: a message-in-a-bottle story came my way today, from the icebergs between Nunavut and Greenland to the shores of Ireland:

Date: 2014-06-29 08:04 pm (UTC)One of my favorite things to do when reading Pen Pal was to look at the dates and see if "important" dates in my life figured. My birthday, as well as Sprout's and J's did. :D Junebug wasn't born at the time, but being a springtime baby, he didn't make it. :P

Great sentence. Mark Twain would have approved.
