Alternative Monthly NARR - July to Dec 2023 - December sign-ups closed

[LaurenceB]

Hello everyone!
The 2023 topic was getting crowded, so here’s a new thread for the second half of 2023!

The Alternative Monthly North America RR that opens each month after the main NARR closes. The goal of this RR is to create a second group of members who were not able to join the main RR but still want to exchange cards for the month.

A few ground rules:

• @cawindt ‘s RR is still the main one. This alternative RR will only open AFTER the main NARR has closed for the month.
• Anyone is welcome to join, even members of the main NARR. However, if more than 20 people join, 2 groups will be made randomly, each with half of the month’s participants.
• This RR will close on the 1st of the month regardless of how many people have joined.
• If some members do decide to join despite being in the main RR, please give priority to the main RR and send your card for that one first. You can therefore have until the 20 of the month to send cards for this one.
• Please consider the preferences of members when choosing cards!
• If you are joining for the first time, don’t forget to send me your address
• This RR is open to North America members only!

Thank you everyone for your interest

#6 @dnrhott - Delia - My husband was able to visit Hot Springs many years ago before we knew each other and he has always said I would love it and he needs to take me. I told him your postcard was a sign we need to go sooner rather than later! Love the stamp, too!

#7 @nursegarry - Garry, your profile was one that really intrigued me when this began! Your card just added to that! I hope you, the hubs and the pup are doing well!

But, my heart hurts your beloved book store closed. ANNNNNDDDD…can we take a minute to bow to the queen?!? 978 books in a year!! Holy Moly! Care to share your goodreads if you have one?

#13 @Hazygirl - Thank you for the lovely Van Gogh card. Last year my family visited The Interactive Van Gogh Experience in Pittsburgh and we really enjoyed it! We had lots of fireworks here, too! It seemed like Independence Day became Independence Week…fun for the humans…“ruff” on the fur family members!
