The Orchid Mae Letters: Archeology Adventure - Monthly

I received this as a gift from my daughter, Julie. It was a surprise and I hadn't seen anything about Flower Letters so had no idea what it was when I received it. I'm just loving the idea of it and the story. I anxiously await the letters and it reminds me of when I was younger and mailed letters to friends, and family and waited for their responses. Certainly different from how things are now. I'm only on letter 4 but the story is wonderful and I can't wait to see what happens next. Before I got them my daughter simply asked me if I could do an adventure would it be a western or an archeology trip and I picked archeology. It was the perfect choice even though I did not know what I was picking. When I finish this story I will definitely buy another one.

I anxiously waited for letter #3 as we were out of town. I patiently waited. Then it arrived. But I was tired. I rested before opening the letter up. I love when you don't know what's inside. I have shared with my book club. In fact will do so tomorrow morning as well as a book! A new member suggested last month to remind them who the main characters are and what has happened so far. I love the archaeology behind it real and make believe. The mystery so far. I love the journalism aspect; the yellow journalism in the story line as well as what really happened and how it ties in. Very clever; lots of research!! I love to write as well. Maybe I will get a story published. We will see. I love the romance part between Orchid & Sam. In time it is apparent that the Aunt and Colonel make it official. And, of course all the minor characters play their part: Jack's best friend, Orchid's former boss and the new boss. So can't wait for letter #4!!!!

I plan on making a journal for it and using the letters and extras as ephemera.
