#4 @hkappespc sent an amazing drawing of Cirith Ungol, a tower from the Lord of the Rings. I admit, although Iāve read the triogy twice (in 1967 and again in 2005), I had to look up the name of the tower. I didnāt have it handy in my memory banks. But as a tower in Mordor, it still gives me a chill. Thank you!

#4 @hkappespc for the great Kafka card! My stamp was not destroyed like the one that @4kids2pay4 received.
#10 @emotis for the amazing card from King Orchards. It has become quite famous! I have not been there yet, but maybe soon
#27 @TwoDoggies for the wonderful work by Brian Moss. I love getting work from current artists. Itās sad that people stole his work, but I guess that means people want it! 
#29 @melvnoble for the cool card showing a proposed capitol in 1791. Iām glad we didnāt go with that one! Love the stickers with the glasses! 
#30 @RockyRoadTrip - Blur!!! I love it!! Yes! Perfect card for me. I was introduced to Blur while on a trip to Finland in 1994. I was a bigger fan of the spin-off band, Gorillaz. Keep the Brit pop coming. Any Will Young, Robbie Williams, Sugababes??
Thank you all!

#21 Beachyblonde
Received all but #20!
#2 @HarleyGirl73 Thank you for the epic Canadian flag postcard with an H for horse postcard! I love the animal stamps as well!! You have a full life of pets, I love it!!
#4 @hkappespc Thank you for the lovely Farmers Market postcard! I love to go to our market, but I havenāt been often since the pandemic started. Even though the ones around town are outside, I just donāt always feel comfortable taking the kids!
#10 @emotis Thank you for the awesome Gr8 Lakes license plate postcard! I hope the rest of the trip was great!!
#13 @ladybug513 Thank you for the epic āI Egret nothingā postcard! I love this series!! I didnāt know what a flock of egrets was called before, very interesting!! I love the Crane stamp as well, thank you again!!

August 2021 NARR Report #3
Rocky Road Trip #30 reporting
Coming through with the home stretch of August entries:
#02 @HarleyGirl73: sent a Greetings from Canada card featuring the countryās most notable wildlife, including moose, black bears, and mountain goats. Sorry for all the wildfire smoke! Thanks!
#04 @Hkappespc: sent my favorite card of the month (and there have been some tough competitors!) with an āeducationalā poster featuring sketches of famous alcoholic authors. Some classics here like Hemingway and Capote, but a few I never suspected of sauce soakers like Dorothy Parker. Yes, Rocky has used the pandemic as an excuse to drink and write himself! Thanks!
#06 @MikeyZ1: sent the most offensive card of the month, with a hunter taking a shot at some Mallard ducks he has lured onto the pond with decoys. Horrific. And the Greetings from Attica, Ohio on the back just makes no sense given todayās standards. Come to Ohio and kill our wildlife. Incredible. Thanks!
#10 @Emotis : sent a hilarious shot of the Giant Clam at Sea Shell City, USA, a tourist trap just south of the Mackinac Bridge in Cheboygan, MI. Sorry to hear this place has fewer cards and is charging more for them. Sad. But thanks for this sea shell relic!
#13 @Ladybug513: sent a spectacular night game shot of Citizenās Bank Ballpark, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. Oh, you should have gone to the game. Stadium visits are a hoot. But a Philly win is not good news for my beloved, and much maligned, NY Mets. But I understand where the Saint is coming from in regards to the Dodgers. Thanks!
#21 @BeachyBlonde: sent a map card that Iāve been looking for for quite some time now: A map of the Appalachian Tail, from Maine to Georgia. This one from Lantern Press is a graphic beauty. Thereās a chunk of the trail that goes through NY near me, and I have done a part of that. But yeah, hiking the full thing is insane ā and yet tons of people do it! Thanks!
#24 @Roxy: sent a billboard sign card from India, where the plumbing supply company thinks little boys, standing in a toilet, pants down, peeing, will somehow sell more American Standards! Incredible. From the āAt Your Convenience ā Public Toilets From Around The Worldā collection. Thanks! Good Luck finding toilet washi!
#26 @Alcott1 : sent a shot of a heavily graffitied, abandoned, church entryway. Simply noted as the Old North Church, itās clearly not the one in Boston, but I couldnāt find one listed for St. Louis where you suggest the shot might have been taken. Abandoned churches. What a thing. Thanks!
#27 @TwoDoggies: sent a Pig Latin card which the uninitiated would probably mistake for a butcherās sign in Italy or some such! Very nice find. Thanks!
#29 @MelVNoble: sent an art card depicting the Trial of John Brown. Thanks to you, and this card, Iāve convinced our History Book Club to read an account of the Harperās Ferry uprising, a topic we all realized gets pretty much glossed over in the high school history books. Let us know of any interesting podcasts you come across. Any for postcards!? LOL. Thanks!
You can view all these cards HEREā¦
All my Aug cards have been sent outā¦
Just waiting on: 8, 18, 20, 28
Rocky Road Trip #30
#3 recād
#2 @HarleyGirl73 Canda LP! Great decorations and stamps!
#4 @hkappespc Awesome Farmers Market postcard! That is such a great idea of them to turn their old posters into postcards!
#6 @mikeyz1 Frankenstein Cat!! Gotta love what comes out of kids minds!
#12 @Yarn-Lady AD Portland! One of my favorite cities!
#13 @ladybug513 LP Sunset Beach, NJ. Sounds like a great family reunion! That is a lot of people in one house!

#29 @melvnoble Gal Pals - lighting one up? Lol! Did you know that the first episode of Lone Gunman was filmed before 9/11?
Thank you all for the great cards and words!!!
From #1 @cawindt
Thank you for the āMichiganā card. I absolutely love the wildlife pictured on it. Great postage, 2 of 3 stamps I have not seen before!
From #5 @carolreader
Thank you for the āCardinal - Ohio State Birdā. The cardinal looks majestic. Neat postage, first time I saw the black and gold window silhouette Halloween and the sun sunspots stamps.
From #7 @treeclimber
Thank you for the great āa century of motoring 1886-1986ā postcard. Such a neat informative postcard. I was sure to show my automobile loving husband this card. Sounds like youāre further ahead on your family genealogy than I am. Sounds like we have a lot in common.
From #12 @Yarn-Lady
Thank you for the artistic āOregon Coastā postcard. Looks beautiful there.
#8 Checking in with more received postcards this week!
#2 @HarleyGirl73 An awesome starfish card from Canada! I love the colors on this so much. I need to come visit you with all of those horses.
#4 @hkappespc A humpback whale breaching out of the water! I hope you can make it to Alaska next year. My son wants to take a Japan cruise next December with me.
#6 @mikeyz1 A great postcard from Hawaii with a fish that is hand drawn created by school children. What a unique card! So, classrooms and Deltaā¦hereās what Iāve decided to do with my classes that start this next week. Iām going to chat with my students on the first day and tell them that the decision to teach this class f2f was made in early spring before we knew about Delta and assumed we would be on a downswing since vaccines were now available. I am going to ask them how they would like for me to teach the class, thereby giving them agency in the decision. My class is MUCH smaller than yours, but it might be worth a shot if your admin would go for it.
#10 @emotis Northern lights over Lake Superior! It is on my list to see the northern lights. There are some things that I have built up for myself that when I see them I cry because I canāt believe itās real. Blue-footed boobies was one of those moments. The northern or southern lights with be another, Iām sure.
#13 @ladybug513 A wonderful card from Middlebury College. This looks like a gorgeous campus. Tuition bills are crazy anymore!
Received: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30
To Receive: 20
From #18 @4kids2pay4
Thank you for the āPetrified Forest National Parkā
I bet the view would be breathtaking. It reminds me of the badlands or Drumheller, Alberta. I will add it to my list of places to visit. Thanks for the USA Olympic stamp.
From #21 @Beachyblonde
Thank you for the USA states flag card. I appreciate you going through my huge list of favourites on POSTCROSSING. I love this card. You gave me a couple new USA stamps. Cappuccino and the sun corona loops are neat stamps.

From #28 @sleepyhippo1
Thank you for the āYellowstone National Parkā postcard showing the Riverside Geyser erupting with 3 new to me postage stamps. Yellowstone is a place I hope to visit some day!
From #14 @dnrhott
I think this card was meant for me. It is addressed to myself, but tagged with user #3 @Cruzin (which I think was an oops). I assume this is my card and therefore, Thank you for the neat winter cabin scene postcard. It makes me miss a cool winter day where one can enjoy nature or go inside and sit by a warm fire. I like that the winter stamp matches the theme of the card.
#20 Triol sent me a lovely on the beach of Atlantic City from New Jersey. Thank you!
I am waiting for:
#4,6,9,10,13,20,25,27,29, and 30
