My email address is my name at gmail dot com. I do not have an unusual name. A lot of people who know someone else called Mary Paterson assume that that person has my email address. In other words, I’ve been getting the wrong people’s emails, regularly, for the last 7 or 8 years. I always reply to point out the mistake, but rarely receive a response. This is a selection of the emails I have received. (Names have been changed).

I picked up Annabelle tonight at 1AM and she is back from the dominican republic safe and sound and the skin infection looks gone. She had a good time and saw a different part of the world. I’m super glad she’s home. love, missy

Dear Mary Paterson,
I wanted to thank you again for having Michael and I over for a consultation on Saturday morning it was a delight to share time with you and your chickens, and we are excited to work with you on some cool projects, Michael will be working on your design during his free time from other projects this week and next and we will have the 4 separate estimates for you that we talked about:
- arbor for grape on both sides of fence
- Extended Arbor option
- short Hog wire fence between neighbors
- a basic chicken run that allows more space for chickens and head room for yourself.
- also a price range for one of our exquisite chicken manors.
As we talked about cost wise it is usually more affordable to find a used coop on craigslist, or to purchase a standardized coop from an operation who have a workshop set up for their model. but if you would like to explore hiring us to do a one of a kind artisanal coop tailored to your personal aestheic. we do enjoy getting to do that.
Look forward to talking with you again soon.

Hi Mary Paterson
Erica told me about your order (thanks!) so I am following up with pricing and scheduling. We are out of island coops but are making some next week so should be able to deliver this in about 10 days or so… We do of course have the one at the store we could sell. Incidentally, did you want the door to the coop and run on the side as the one at the store or the opposite side? Also did you want an anti-tunneling skirt or mesh floor on the ground? I understand this is a 10’ run that starts at the face of the coop, not including the coop. Did you want the area under the coop meshed in as well or left open and just a mesh wall below the face of the coop between the legs below the egg-shaped cutout?
$495 Island Coop (specify roof color if no preference then galvalume)
$55 Single exterior nest box
–$20 option for painted nest box (red)
$432 10’x4’ 4’ tall run = 24 linear feet @ $18/LF
$48 run access door
–$80 option for mesh ceiling over run –or-
–$128 option for metal roof over run
$60 local delivery
–$89 option – mesh in area underneath coop
Thanks, Terrence

Dear Mary and Adrian,
I thought I would drop you a line before I lose your email address! Happy New Year to you both. How are you doing these days and what are you up to work wise Mary? I know that it is a long time since we met but at that point you were reviewing your career and looking at law. Have you finished your studies now? And what about Adrian? What is he up to and where is he working?
[…]
We still have Max but unfortunately Alice died at the end of September after a brief and sudden illness. I really miss her and poor Harry was lost for a while but is doing well now. He is 15 ½ which is a good age.
We are currently enjoying the snow and the children are hoping that school will be cancelled tomorrow but it looks unlikely at this point. We have had loads of snow and I think you have too haven’t you?
[…]
It would be lovely to hear from you and I hope that this email finds you both well and happy.
Lots of love,
Juliax x

Hi Mary,
Couldn’t help but wonder if you baby came, and how you are doing whatever you status!
It’s been such fun seeing you in a different phase of life, and especially at the church we have grown to love.
Hope you can eventually make some more M & M’s meetings. As you could see, lots of moms bring their itty bitty ones, but
I know there are many variables!
Hugs, Hilary

Hi mom,
I made a donation to the youth law center in your name for your birthday–it’s a national nonprofit that helps kids going through the system. Here’s their website: http://www.ylc.org

Hey Mary,
Can you please pick up Mom’s pay stub from her to scan or take a focussed picture with your iPhone and send to me via email? I just emailed her to tell her that you will do this at your convenience. Please communicate with Mom to confirm where she put it so you do not waste any of your time.
Thanks,
Brad

Dear Mary, I’m so sorry to have been a nuisance. My wife Mary ‘s address is so similar to yours!!!!. Could you please shred the attachment to the email I inadvertently sent to you which is a draft for my autobiography so it of no interest outside the family. Again, so sorry to have been a pest. Yours sincerely, A Paterson
