Sylvie wanted to thank her “blog friends,” people from the blog and the Army Of Good who write to her, she reads every single letter and tries to answer as many as she can, but she struggles with addresses and stamps, so I am going to start helping her to answer some of the mail starting next week. I’ll sit with her and help address and stamp them.

She has no trouble writing them.

She wanted to say thanks in the video, and she wanted people to know she is trying to keep up with all of the letters, but can’t. I said everyone will understand. Sylvie loves to write letters, if you want to write her, you can send the letters to The Mansion, 11 S. Union Avenue, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.

She will try to answer them.

A month or so ago, I put out a call for help from Sylvie, she asked if people could send her tote bags. She got enough to equip a good sized army and she stacks them on her walker and files her papers in them. She says the other residents are making fun of her, calling her a “bag lady,” but I assured her they were joking.

She loves her  tote bags. I can’t say precisely what she is using them for, but they are always with her, and thanks for sending them. I got her four, the rest came in a torrent. Some are quite colorful and beautiful.
