Excellent. Glad you’re happy. It’s nice how the last on has postmark on the front.
My mailbox and I have been very happy this last week, although I haven’t made the time to take pictures until now. Thanks to everyone who sent a card!
@PleiadianDragon What a beautiful, giant-sized postcard of Sequoyah.
@TheHassFamily That looks like a wonderful, scenic train ride.
@sannah82 I grew up spending my summers in northern Wisconsin near the “big lake” but I’ve never been to the north shore.
@SharonMI What a lovely owl. I remember going out to see one that was visiting my area one winter. It was a special treat.
@Arylia Thanks for the wonderful Texas bluebonnets. Next time you try the WOTM lottery, make sure to put your address on the back of the card. Most lotteries and tag games don’t require it, but it’s part of the rules for this game.
@ljbbauer It’s rare that someone actually writes a joke on the card, and that one was perfect. Definitely made me chuckle. Thanks.
@TravelWithMe Oh, I love Ingo Löök’s designs. (I think I relate to them.) Thanks for this fun card and for answering lots of the questions I put in my profile!
@angeli91 Thanks for sending this UNESCO World Heritage site. I was there about 20 years ago and it’s just incredible.

@arylia If you haven’t already, you can send your address to @Hobbittsy via DM so that your name can be included in the drawing for July’s winner of the month 
We took care of that already. Thanks.

Hope you enjoyed this month and how do you feel when it prints the postmark on the wrong side? I think it’s awesome.
Yes, I’m enjoying it very much, thanks!
Hmmm, I have mixed feelings about the postmark being on the picture side. I’m not a stamp collector at all so I don’t mind if the stamps are cancelled or not. I enjoy the pictures themselves, and also the writing if it gives me a bit of connection to someone, or an interesting or amusing anecdote, quote, joke, etc.
In the past, I’ve sometimes used postcards in my EFL classrooms for different reasons - the pictures can give discussion topics for conversation or to practice describing things. The writing can be a real-life example of “authentic text” for students to understand, and it often captures their interest more than something from a book.
So if the postmark obscures either the picture or the writing, I don’t like it. So far, the ones on the back haven’t been a big problem, although the one on the Ingo Löök card is a bit dark. They certainly make the cards unique.

I believe it means English (as a) Foreign Language classes?

EFL = English as a Foreign Language (sometimes people also say ESL - English as a Second Language)

One last card arrived on June 30th, just in the nick of time! Thanks, @halflingstory for the sweet fairy.
Stay tuned - I’ll draw a new winner (and decoy) in a few minutes and create a new post for July.
