"Boy, Joanie has finally come to the end of the photos she has taken of me. I think she is going to miss me when I am gone, but she will get more work done too!"
"Here I am trying to comfort Joanie. She has let her office work for the Dept. of Corrections where she works pile up and up and up. Now she feels badly about it. I hope she will be able to do better soon. Cheer up, Joanie!"
"Here I am helping Jane to make muffins for our breakfast. They came out very good too!"
"After a meeting one night, Joanie stopped at the store and bought some of her favorite ice cream, made in Skowhegan Maine, which is less than an hour from here. See...I am being a model like those ladies on TV who sell cars, sitting on the hood. I say, 'Eat ice cream...it is good for what ails ya!' Mmmmmmm..."
"Every day I wrote in my journal while I was in Maine. I plan to write in it as I continue traveling throughout the USA too!
"One day Joanie and I saw pretty flowers on the internet and we both really wanted to see REAL flowers. So she took me into the grocery store with her and took this photo. Aren't these flowers so pretty?!"
"Joanie took me in to the Farmington Post Office to meet the nice postal clerks, Patty & Sylvia,  who will safely send me off on the next part of my trip. They said I was very cute! I think they are very nice (and OBSERVANT too..haha!) Joanie says their friendly attitudes make going to the office a nice spot in her days."
"And here is the FINAL photo. Joanie's Tonner girls gave me a candlelight blessing ceremony to send me on the next leg of my travels across the US. That was very nice of them, wasn't it! Goodbye to Joanie, goodbye to Maine. I had a good time here and now I am headed to Minnesota where I will meet Kathy LaPlante."  XXXOOOXXX, Love, Betsy
Especially for Elaine U, who likes my poem so much!
             "Traveling Betsy"

Traveling Betsy is coming your way!
She may stay a week;
She may stay a day.

Take her to the park;
Take her to the zoo.
If you find it fun,
Betsy will too!

She likes to have her picture taken
She likes to wear new clothes.
She likes to visit members
Especially she-who-sews!

Betsy likes to journey
And learn new things on the way.
So welcome Betsy to YOUR house,
And remember...she likes to play!
