#12 @Yarn-Lady sent The Danmark, a ship that helped train cadets at New London during WWII, thank you Cynthia! All those ropes look like a tangled mess to me from mast to ship, haha. The men in the lower left corner remind me of pirates.

#3 @Cruzin A Midsummer Night’s Dream is dear to my heart. I wrote about it in my dissertation and somehow managed to still love it. And yes, cats are the best! Thank you!
#4 @jenhart Shrimp and grits are one of my favorite meals. I’ll have to take a trip to Fort Mill one day 
Thanks for the Minnesota card!
#13 @ladybug513 And another lovely A Midsummer Night’s Dream card. I’m being spoiled. Thanks! I went to a play once and someone’s phone went off. The actor stopped and just waited for the person to turn it off. It was quite awkward.
#24 @roxy Love this card! My oven has been broken for a month! I was finally going to get a new one last week and the delivery truck accidentally drove into the oven when delivering it 
. They are delivering another one tomorrow.
#30 @RockyRoadTrip I love vintage Chicago cards. I have a bunch I’m saving for the na wbmp . I’m sure this view still exists, if not from a condo, then from some executive’s office. Thanks for the card!

#4 @jenhart I really like this vintage style1900’s postcard of Lake Minnetonka. As a child I spent every summer weekend on Lake Erie and have many fond memories of those times.
#8 @Shesa-Renegade Thank you for the lovely postcard showing Richard DeSpain’s depiction of the Old Statehouse in Little Rock, Arkansas. I think the museum there as well as the Clinton Presidential Library would be great places to visit.
#12 @Yarn-Lady. The postcard of the Oregon coast looks sooo inviting. Thank you! We’ve had a lot of rain but have been spared the excessive heat.
#13 @ladybug513 The Washington Crossing Historic Park looks like a beautiful place. While getting lost there probably wasn’t funny at the time, your recalling it made me smile. I’m glad you found your way out!
#19 @ellistrations Thank you for the wonderful Lantern Press animal silhouettes card as well as the great stamps and stickers. Your card is going into a frame and added to my collection in the travel trailer.
#22 @uconn The postcard showing Spaceship Earth is great. Thank you! I’m probably one of the few people on the planet who has never been to Epcot but it sounds like a fun place to visit.

8 @Shesa-Renegade - rené, thank you for the fun viking card and i hope you enjoyed minneapolis! i dont think i’ve been to minnesota - i grew up next to a tiny mall so i cant wrap my head around a mall with a rollercoaster haha i looked it up and it looks super fun!
13 @ladybug513 - susan, i hope you enjoyed your family vacation~ a two week stay at the beach sounds lovely!

27 @beatriceh - charisse, thank you for the gorgeous alice card featuring cheshire cat~
thank you! my dad moved down for a job when i was younger and initially moved by himself, but over the years one by one, the family moved down to join him! i think i’ve been down here ~15 years? my sister ended up moving back to canada for work, a few years ago, but this gives us a couch to crash on when we go back to visit her and extended family 
28 @TwoDoggies - terri~ thank you for going through my favourites and sending me a miffy card! i think miffy’s dutch name is nijntje

I dropped all my postcards in the post office mailbox this morning.
#29 - One postcard!
#10 @emotis - Thank you Erin for the adorable Russian Blue Cats knitting! I tried to reverse image search to find the official name of it, and if Google Translate is correct, it’s called “First Snow” or “November’s First Snow.” I didn’t notice the snow out the window, so that’s a cute one. Knitting is definitely an obsession! I love buying new and pretty yarn, but my partner says I need to actually make something with the yarn instead of hoarding it!

#2 @crimsonking – a postcard showing vintage paper dolls. I love it! I loved paper dolls when I was a kid. And no, I’ve never received a card like it. Thank you!
#29 @melvnoble – A new (to me) Monet water lilies painting. There are so many! Thank you. I’ve never been to Philadelphia. It’s not so far – I should.
#30 @RockyRoadTrip – Yes, I see you there on this Massachusetts map. Hope and trust you’re having a wonderful time. Thank you.

#11 @volvomom Vermont. Hooray for spending time at your happy place!
#24 @roxy scary vintage ad featuring “Pream”… a powdered coffee creamer that both lightens your coffee AND can be used to make delicious entrees. Just trying to imagine using coffee creamer in anything but coffee…
#29 @melvnoble Cool Philly LP card. Glad you had fun! And is there such a thing as “way too many postcards”??

Thank you, @emotis, for the great bear card! We have a momma bear and cubs running around the neighborhood at the moment, so this card was very appropriate! Please let me know when you’re back in Boston!!!

#3 @Cruzin sent Mickey Mouse skiing, thank you Lori! Love the Mickey washi tape too, hehe. I’ve never been to Disneyland or Disney World, not sure I have the desire to go with a lot of people there. Was there a certain meal you and your husband would get each Sunday evening for dinner?

There is a restaurant called The Blue Bayou that seats inside of the Pirates of the Caribbean. We would eat there, then since it was Sunday night and all the tourists were gone, but the park was open till midnight we’d go on rides. You could go on the most popular rides and at the end they’d ask if you wanted to go again because there was no line!
