Hullo everyone, I'm Lindsey and I'm new here. A while back I was given two Minkus albums - British Europe and British Oceana ranging from 1840-1977 (sadly - no penny blacks!) I've finally decided to dig into them to check out the world of stamps! For right now my main goal is to identify and organize all of these babies so that I know what's here. After that, we'll see where it takes me. I'm sort of a hobby addict so I'm always doing something new it seems but few hobbies actually "stick" for the long term! As you may notice by my username, I'm female - there doesn't seem to be a lot of us around! I'm from the lovely state of South Dakota and have 4 kids ranging from a stepson who is 14 to the youngest little girl that will be 1 year old on July 4th! Whew!

Welcome Lindsey

I hope you get "hooked" before November - good way to occupy yourself during a South Dakota winter. Sure helps me pass the time when the snow piles up too high to see over!

Welcome Lindsey,
Lots of great folks here always willing to help. So dont be afraid to ask. I'm just the opposite I love getting out in the snow and cold to do some ice fishing with friends and family.Nothing better than a cookout on the ice!!!! When it gets hot is when I stay inside with the A/C cranked and sort through the piles.

Welcome Lindsey, from another July 4th-er! I don't know how you approach having your b-day on the 4th, but I enjoy annoying friends and family by insisting that the celebrations are on my behalf. Glad to share the day with you.

@drmicro - it's actually my daughter that's having her birthday on the 4th! She will be turning 1!

Gro - I'm glad there are lots of us ladies! Happy I thought about going to my library to check out their Scotts but I've got some pretty hefty late fees so I tend to shy away, lol! Not to mention their set is 2006! I ordered from an ebay seller that cuts up the Scott cat by country and sells them individually which is MUCH cheaper for me and I get the 2014 version!

Bob, your daughter is wrong. There is a 4th of July everywhere; just it's commemorated in a few select places. In America, there's even a few folks who understand its significance.
