Caught up!

All received postcards are finally posted and I hope to have the time to start sending more again soon.

Also time permitting I will be sharing postcard from my childhood, the ones that made me fall in love with the little rectangles of paper.


Above is a postcard I received from my grandpa while he was traveling in Ireland, I have no idea when I received this. Also below is a picture of the amazing man himself, everyone called him Boss, but I just called him grandpa.


And yes the little person in his arms is me and yes I am eating pork rinds.

Last but not least


On 4/1/10 (April Fool's Day) I received a little piece of Autumn from Shirley in Ontario, Canada. Her handwriting was the mirror image of my Grandmother's handwriting, so I was not surprised to find out she was a mother and grandmother.

This is the last card for 2010!

First Card From China


I received this card from Jessie in China. She expressed an interest in being pen-friends. Doesn't pen-friends sound so much more inviting that pen-pals?

This card was received 3/31/2010.

Greetings!


I received a postcard from Jaana in Finland. I just wish I knew what the card said. Google's translator says that "ovi onneen aukeaa ulospain" means "door to happiness opens outward". If that is the correct translation then I think I can agree with that. This card was also received on 3/23/2010. Another Two-Card Day!

Leo is his name


Mailed 3/8/2010 and received 3/23/2010. I received "Best Wishes from the end of the world!!!" Leo from Argentina wrote a simple postcard about the Victoria Bridge, but I was really just excited that my nephew is also named Leo. This is also my first postcard from Argentina.

Below is my Leo, my nephew.
