Japanese Commemorative Stamps for Summer 2008

This blog has been bothering me all day because it didn't feel right to start it off with, "Does anybody want stamps?" And I have been mulling it over in my brain, so let me add the introduction to make it more of something that I would do, OK? Here we go.

Today was a hot, humid, summer day. I left the house before noon and drove into Fukui to pick up my video camera that I had stupidly used to squash a big wasp against Stefnee's house when I was there (I shattered the LCD and was making videos the entire time with only half a monitor... stupid me. Learned MY lesson, I did). Then I went next door to the recycle shop "2nd Street" but didn't find anything that interested me this time. So I headed on home as I had a few things to do back here.

I made a detour into the drug store on the way home and picked up an eyebrow trimmer for Mayu, some Seabreeze body wash for me (I like the cooling effect of the chemical menthol body wash in summer), some bug "keeper-awayer" for the cat if I can find him again, ZipLoc bags and water. Then I came home and put a package together that needed to go out today.

I hopped on my bike and rode through the rice paddies (which are looking fantabulous by the way, and probably ready to harvest by the end of this month) down to the post office where I updated my bank books (yep, the post office is also the largest bank in the world), and then shipped my parcel off.

As I was standing there waiting to have the enveloped weighed I noticed that the post office was selling their "summer collection" of commemorative stamps. I looked them over and was quite impressed by how beautiful they are this year. I immediately thought that there might be some stamp collectors out there in the world who would appreciate getting their hands on a sheet or six of these particular commemorative stamps for 2008!

Does anyone collect commemorative stamps from around the world?

If you are interested in collecting them, I would be more than happy to go to the post office and get any of the sheets that you like, and mail them to you. So contact me if you are interested and we can work out how to get you what you want!

I love you!

P.S. Ahhhh.... that's much better. Now it seems much more like a "Camblog" and not just something I tossed up there because I had nothing better to do. Now I can sleep tonight...
