Sorry for the tardy reporting. I’m having issues with a new medication.
Received:
#2 @Beachyblonde - Incline Railway on Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, TN - they always remind me of gondolas you see in ski areas, though the incline carriage is a lot larger than the largest gondola I’ve been on, which held 24 people
#3 @missedith17 - the Pastor’s Orchid reminds me of the lady slipper orchids I discovered as a kid and fell in love with. Great (uncancelled) stamps
#5 @roxy - Season’s Greetings with a vintage vibe and pretty stamps. We actually just “smelled” a skunk not too long ago.
#6 @LaurenceB - fabulous map of Quebec and its regions. My husband just shook his head and muttered “you and your maps”, though he doesn’t seem to mind when we’re on a roadtrip and I find some interesting place to stop and explore!
#10 @oniisen - lots of pretty batik fabrics on display. We were lucky enough to see women creating batiks when we visited St Kitts and Nevis islands. I’ve never gotten up the nerve to cut into the fabrics I bought to make something out of them.
If I don’t speak to you before Christmas and New Year (or your holiday of choice), I wanted to wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Thanks for keeping my mailbox filled throughout the year with little colorful cards of joy,
Mora

December update (waiting for 10 & 12)
@DCMdVa
Love this holiday card, although it looks like everything else in Washington DC Santa had some budget cuts and could only afford five reindeers this year. Also, the cat stickers you put on here are absolutely adorable!
We only have turkey buzzards (and I am slightly obsessed by them) in my area and they look absolutely nothing like this common buzzard. If anything this looks more like the Hawks we have around here.
Look at this cute little dinosaur! Thank you so much for the Vancouver Olympics stamp, I’m slightly obsessed with Canada’s stamps every single one I’ve received so far has been beautiful! All the stickers were super cute also!
You and @LaurenceB are making me so jealous with your 2 weeks off! I managed to somehow get four continuous days off for Christmas this year which is amazing (but I do have to go to the dentist one of those days
).
The absolute stranglehold that weekly world news had on me when I was younger was amazing. I miss it. I wonder what Bat Boy is up to these days. Also, the bear riding the bicycle sticker is adorable!

Hope you all had a happy holiday season. Mine was a lot busier than expected.
#8 @DCMdVa - awesome lace Christmas card. I can tell the days my regular mailman is off because it’s then that a mail disaster happens - mail left on the ground, the wrong mail is delivered, mail is not delivered… so I definitely sympathize with you. One Sunday we were out walking the dog at 8 pm when we saw our mailman delivering parcels. NUTS!
#9 @scoutingbear - cards with lots of spinning wheels. Did you know it takes an average of 6-8 highly proficient spinners to keep one weaver busy? It’s why the Spinning Jenny was so revolutionary. If you ever have the chance to watch a sheep-to-shawl competition, take a look at how many spinners are there to the single weaver.

@Sunshein sent this gorgeous view of the Delicate Arch and amazing clouds at Arches National Park. Thanks for the lovely card and looking through my favorites wall. I’m sorry to ready about the road closures and crowds. Hopefully watching the World Cup helped to balance out the experience!
@oniisen sent a great collection of food and nice vintage stamps. Thanks so much for the cool card and message! I love places with great desserts all year round, and I love restaurants with delicious soups this time of year.

#6 @LaurenceB - a black-and-white photo of a gorgeous small lake in the Swiss Alps. Thank you. I’d love to visit the area. Yes, I’ve been enjoying great family time during the holidays, and feel extremely fortunate that I don’t work now. Retirement is wonderful.

Thank you to #13 @anon15095882 for the great greetings from card. I LOVE IT! How fun! I just finished reading House of Brides - Jane Cockram.
Thank you to #14 @roxy for the gorgeous Cob postcard! I have horses myself, so I can never get enough horse postcards! I also loved the stamps. 
Thank you to #1 @Sunshein for the Petrified Forest postcard! I love that national park and don’t get to visit as often as I’d like! I also loved the washi tape you used! Thank you!
