#28 reporting cards received many cards for my January theme!
#2 @CrimsonKing Ski…Denver International Airport. It looks real!
#4 @JenHart hockey. We didn’t have hockey in the south when I lived there. The local, all-purpose arena would have an ice rink during the summer and we would go there a few times. It was wonderfully cold after being outside in the Florida heat.
#5 @carolreader the Skating on Duddingston Loch oil painting. I’m wondering what journey this card took to get to me. No postmark, dated New Year’s Eve, and not in my mailbox until 1/18, a looongg time to travel. Yeh, New Year’s Eve is boring.
#6 @mikeyz1 a vintage ski Vermont card My first ever skiing experience I went with a couple of friends on a bus with the Arlington (Virginia) Ski Club to Killington, VT. It was ridiculously cold (below zero). The first morning I took the beginner group ski lessons then one of my friends took me up on the slopes. I was clueless. She took me up to a black diamond run that was solid moguls (did I mention this was a newly made friend?) I managed to snow plow my way down carefully without falling until SHE ran over the back of my skis. As I was laying on my back, my other friend passed overhead in the chairlift and was like WHAT are you doing on a black diamond slope? A very memorable trip. So, not a ski fan.
#8 @Shesa-Renegade a beautiful photo of a Strawberry Poison Dart Frog in Costa Rica. Why does a beautiful creature like this have to be poisonous?
#13 @ladybug513 interesting this card says it is a Railway Poster. Does that mean it was an advertising card? See my explanation above to mickeyz1 about my first skiing experience. I did try two more times to ski but conditions were mushy and I really just didn’t enjoy myself. I was too worried about breaking a leg!
#15 @AccentOnHakes this card titled The Star of Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus. Thank you I like this. What do I typically order for take out? Usually Italian food; caesar salads, garlic bread and lasagne. They don’t have delivery so we just pick it up. Very close to our house.
#16 @jacieslar Lantern Press, Ski Apache. Is that ski area suffering from the effects of climate change yet?
#18 @LaurenceB The quintessential Canadian card showing a Sugar Shack in Spring.
#20 @alcott1 Vintage winter hats from 1900. Wouldn’t it be awesome if these hats were in style now (like the royals in UK wear?).
#21 @Beachyblonde Lantern Press skiing poster. I have skiied but don’t like cold either.
#26 @sarahaeyo snowboarder. I like how there is nothing else in the picture except blinding whiteness. I’m positive I would not be able to handle snowboarding.
#30 @RockyRoadTrip long line at the chair lift in Yosemite Park. Yes, I believe waiting in the line counts as a winter activity worthy of a hot toddy in the lounge. It also seems very dangerous riding without a safety bar.
fascinating plot and very of its time hahah i hope your classes are going well and well wishes for the rest of the semester! 220 students sounds like more than a handful; my grad class has 15 students in the section and i have no idea how the instructor wrangles us all together!
; i definitely need to do a better job at this. my goal during the past year was to do a better job being kinder to myself and giving myself more grace; dont know how successful i was though haha
with school and work ramping up, the last few weeks have been nuts. it seems like right after new years everything is an emergency and needs to be done this very second haha
it’s just before dinner and now all i want are bacon and eggs lol
Good luck with the yarn.
I love mushrooms- stuffed, fried, sauteed, raw, in pizza …
