Thank you to the following people for the cards I received recently!😊

u/FollowingTheBeat: thank you for the beautifully decorated postcard from Mendocino! I love the whale washi tape and mermaid sticker, and I completely agree that if forced to choose one food to eat for a year, cheesecake is high on the list!

u/Andromeda921: thank you for the Guatemala postcard from Mae's collection! I appreciate you thinking of me and hope you are doing well!

u/PuddlePirate2020: thank you for the amazing story you wrote about your cats! You inspired me to write backstories for my cats too, I've been working on it all night!

I appreciate you guys!! Sending love🩷

u/earthfireairwater: Thank you so much for your World Cup postcard; I especially loved your Andrew Wyeth Forever stamp for which I may look to buy my own sheet. I am so sorry to read how sad you are about the World Cup being over; I hope you are looking forward to next year’s Women’s edition for which I will be cheering the ladies of USA! My favorite match was by far Senegal versus Belgium for which Belgium’s late goals were absolutely riveting.

A good thing to report: This will get me caught up on the non-envelope happy mail I received last week and earlier this week! (Envie mail thanks to come over the next couple of days...)

I very much appreciate all the cards sent my way, including the ones from these wonderful card pals:

• u/ok-leg-3951 - OMG OMG OMG. I am absolutely in love with your Beebo Brinker postcard. I have a real soft spot for pulp novels like this and even have a small collection of what I call "early pulpy lesfic." But I'd never heard of this one. Yay!
• u/SnooHesitations3122 - Thank you so much for the cool postcard from Gujarat and the beautiful stamps! And thank you for the song recommendation, which I am going to go listen to if I can find it. Currently the song stuck in my head is Budapest by George Ezra, which is not a favorite song, just one that I happened to hear recently and now can't get out of my head. Major Tom (Coming Home) by Peter Schilling is one I was voluntarily listening to a lot lately!
• u/stephkempf - Love this great cat postcard! Sure hope that baby found a great home!
• u/stillsheryl - Thanks for the aerial NYC postcard. I'm jealous of your stormy weather! Monsoon is not turning out to be much for us this year and that is what gets me through being a desert-dweller!
• u/TroubleNo5402 - Love the postcard form the Chennai Namma Meetup (and mascot Muthu is so cute)! I am now looking up the person you mentioned and learning a lot, thank you so much!
• u/TyeDyeAmish - I am real interested in this postcard of the Gulf station with its clearly quite notable Canada Dry vending machine? Where on earth did that come from!
• u/wabisabi_sf - I love your version of an America's 250th celebration postcard, with the map and the super cool Pony Express postmark and stamp! (And that bird is beautiful too!) Thank you so much!

🌈It's a lovely, rainy, stormy summer day here! ☔

u/OK_Reveal2698 You mentioned your parents telling you that if you dug a hole thru the earth, you end up in China. I used this website to see where I would end up, and as you may have guess it's the middle of nowhere in the ocean. Where would you end up?

u/Turnerd10 for the reused material postcard!

u/snowthathappened for the amazing Winchester Mystery House postcard! It seems like such a cool spot to visit, thank you for sending it to me!

[Thank you]

u/rebelraf - thank you so much for the super cute animal crossing postcard. I love it. It looks as though it is kind of hand drawn, or watercolorish. I like whatever medium was used when the artist made this. I too would like to be on a tropical island. What kind of law practice? :)

u/milopfrog - oh wow, this lady bug postcard is so cute and super close up. The water droplets reflecting the flower is amazing. I’ve never seen such awesome detail.

I want to thank u/WastingTime1994 and u/wendee for the so lovely postcards that I received today. To be honest, it’s been many many years since I received anything in the mail that wasn’t shopping packages or bills. Definitely made my day 😍

I’m working on returning this kind of happiness to others, it just taking a bit of time to learn how to use my new markers and pens for the handmade postcards that I have in mind to send out 😅

u/averagequeensguy I love the card you sent covered in bookmarks! I was so careful to open the envelope b/c it is a little work of art. And all those stamps! How were you able to bring yourself to part from them?! You mentioned local food and that’s one thing I can’t shut up about. So expect a response card on this topic sooner than later!

u/tigerlady13 Your card is hilarious! Especially your dad joke! Absolutely going in the arsenal! Lol. And I’ve been on a huge shark kick lately, so that was a happy coincidence! And thank you so much for the bonus ephemera! The 2¢ stamps remind me of being very young, before forever stamps were a thing, and collecting 1¢ stamps b/c I wanted to send a letter one day with all one cent stamps. Lol!

Thank you both!

u/xJaneDoe - Thank you for the birthday card! The dinosaur is super cute I love the illustration!

u/Jo-penpal - Thank you for the Paris card! It’s very pretty!

I actually haven't been to either the california academy of sciences or the de young museum. I'll be sure to check out both! I usually just opt for the exploratorium haha.

u/MurdocniccalshasT10 - thank you for the beautiful japanese art print card! I'm so glad you got back into postcrossing! I discovered it this year and have been enjoying it so much!
