More happy mail on this last day of April!
#5 (@Maslover12) sent an AI-generated illustration with a nod to Dr. Who. 
Since I live in the Evergreen State, Spring is the season that allows Mother Nature to show off so many colors! It is beautiful.
From @MissChristinaAnne (#7) sent a map of the Fiji Islands. 
Enjoy your cruise (even if it isn’t to Fiji)!
From @KQ (#8) street art entitled, “The Unexpected Bookmark.” One can never have enough bookmarks. 
And @Blue_Fox (#13) sent a Spanish Mission near Tucson, Arizona. Wishing you a complete recovery! My uncle used to watch one baseball game on TV, listen to a different game on the radio and was able to keep both games straight. 
And a Total Solar Eclipse 2024 card from @TwoDoggies (#14)! 
We weren’t in the path, either, but the news showed the airport and the security lines full of people. Many of them heading to total eclipse locations (according to the interviews.)
Received: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
Waiting: 9
Thank you all!

#14 @TwoDoggies Another cool ad card from Galerie Kartis, Unique Jewelry & Fine Art in El Paso.
I’ve gotten so many awesome ad cards this month. Thanks to everyone who has sent me one!

#14 reporting cards received.
#1 @AccentonHakes sent a beautiful RPPC of two Francois’ Langurs (mini-monkeys?) I’ve never seen before.
#2 @Hazygirl sent a VA map card for my challenge. I still think it would be interesting to get cards for one state. There are a surprising number of different cards out there in the world.
#3 @harleyq2btrue sent a very cute doggie. What did you make with filet crochet?
#4 @Maslover12 sent a GF Iowa with a map. I’ve never been to Iowa. I hope I can someday.
#5 @sleepyhippo1 sent a Cypress Gardens “Now and Then” card. Amazingly they look pretty much the same! To be really accurate, the “Now” should be blank since Cypress Gardens is sadly no longer.
#6 @sraelling View card of Sanibel Island, FLA. Also a cool circus stamp. This definitely works for my challenge. I have a few people bringing me postcards when they go on vacation and sometimes I feel weird about sending them, but it’s no different than buying cards on-line IMO.
#7 @MissChristinaAnne sends a GF SC. I was born in Charleston and grew up on James Island. I laughed when you said you were looking for the South of the Border signs. Everyone loved those! The same day your card arrived, I also got a GF South of the Border card from another RR. A great coincidence.
#8 @KQ Come back to Detroit! I absolutely love this card (guns not so much, but hey it’s a post card). This story is sort of related; hope it makes sense. Here goes. I live near Washington DC, a city also known for violent crime. The NBA team used to be called the Washington Bullets (now the Wizards). Anyway, a radio DJ said the team owners were thinking about changing the name because it was associated with too much violence. So…they were going to take the name Washington out. Bah dump bump…
#9 @Cocosmom sent a card about oranges. I worked in libraries also, but never as a “professional”.
#9 @Calisunshine sent an adorable Cocker Spaniel puppy. I love it. Cool that you going to be a vet assistant!
#11 @eirbjorn goat with glasses. My Dad was super into kite flying. He and my Mom would take picnics to the park and fly kites. Whenever we went to the beach he always had a good assortment in the days before anyone was flying a fancy kite. He passed all the kites along to my husband who only gets the opportunity to fly if we go to the beach. I have not yet heard of windless, indoor kite flying.
#12 @kat4544 sent a map of the earth’s orbit and the northern hemisphere. I’m so, so sorry you also lost your pup. I do have another pup though so it’s not as hard.
#13 @Blue_Fox sent a GF Ed’s A-1 used Beach. (Garfield). Hope you are feeling better! My husband has had a couple of back surgeries. The “before” the surgery time was brutal.

April has been wild for me!! Anybody else? I’ve been meaning to post all the great cards I’ve received but I ran out of time each day. Well, today is the day! I’ve got time now as I sit in the Miami port awaiting to board our cruise. 
Thanks in advance to everyone whose card has been received so far… I’ll check the mail again when I return home.

@Calisunshine : such a fun mix of elephant and octopus… land and sea! And I love that happy mail sticker!!
-
@AccentOnHakes : I hope you enjoyed visiting with your new niece or nephew… newborns are my favorite!
@Hazygirl : we’ve lived in Nashville a little over a year now… it has its perks for sure, but I still miss Chattanooga. 
ps: I love that Polaroid sticker!!
- @harleyq2btrue : vintage cards are great! and yes, I love those scalloped edges too!!
@Sunhilde : I have a TBR list about a mile long and that’s not even counting the new releases. I started a new job so I’ve had much less time for reading, sadly. this card is so cute btw!
@sleepyhippo1 : Nashville has changed in 20 years - trust me!! I’ve only been here a year but many people tell me it has grown wildly over the years and new restaurants, apartments, and hotels are popping up everyday. come back soon! 
-
@kat4544 : omg - we love Schitts Creek! we watched it obsessively and David was our favorite. he was simply the best…better than all the rest.
-
@Maslover12 : it think we had more than a week of rain here and I was over it by day two. yuck! love that washi - so cute!
@Blue_Fox : I hope you’re doing much better now and healing up quickly! Sending all the good vibes your way for a speedy recovery!
-
@TwoDoggies : I’ve been collecting matchbooks too! Mostly I find them at antiques stores but there’s a few restaurants and shops locally that give them away for nostalgia. Great octopus sticker!!
-
@sraelling : aren’t the cave parks so awesome! my husband and I want to visit mammoth cave NP again to take a longer, more in depth tour. they’re fascinating! I’m glad you enjoyed your trip. SD is on my bucket list!
-
@KQ : I’ve met the guy who draws UrbnPop, Chris Hamer, several times at comic conventions and was drawn to his unique style. (fyi: he’s on Instagram as urbnpop.) Also, I love the sidewalk drawings… I keep finding them on social media using manholes, cracks, etc. They’re so creative!

8 @KQ What cool art! It hurts my brain to look at it. I admire the transience of temporary art like that. I’ve learned some German, and lived in Germany for a couple years, so hopefully it will help ease into Old English!

#8 @KQ sent the Mackinac Bridge. Such a pretty bridge. I always think I’m buying enough cards when I’m somewhere and then when I get home I wash I bought more.
