@cawindt @sarahaeyo I just drove through London on July 4! In fact, we stopped in London to visit the Coventry Market. LOVE that market!! Bought some strawberries that we then had to rapid eat just before we crossed the border because i wasnât sure about fruit rules and had some yummy Parisian pastries there, too! I miss Canada!

#12 @Yarn-Lady sends a beautiful jellyfish card from the New England Aquarium. I agree that they are graceful ocean dancers. Another of my favorites in the aquariums are weedy sea dragons. Adorable!
#20 @jacieslar sends an adorable card with a doxie in a mailbox. I would be so excited to find this little one in my mailboxâŚhaha! Thank you for adding the dog to your pack. I am always so sad when I hear that dogs/cats have been returned to shelters.

Received a lovely New Yorker card from #9 @ljbbauer I keep saying the next time I move, Iâm buying a king size bed just so that my cats have more room, but I donât think it will matter. They expand to take up the room available 
Hope you enjoyed the Ark!
Thanks for the gnome card @teddypostcrossing #25 I visited Colorado for the first time post-2020 and most things were closed. Iâd love to go back again and experience more.
Iâve never received a button card before. Thanks for giving me my first one! @melvnoble #29 Iâd love to visit the museum.
Thank you for the Paris card @dnrhott #14 Iâd not heard of Prince of Egypt. I really need to catch up on current movies.
@jenhart #4 Thanks for the Niagara Falls card. My friend just got married there two weeks ago! No worries about the recipe. We all have our strengths. Iâm not a fan of salt so more salt for you and more sugar for me 
.
What a cool bookstore! @mikeyz1 #6 my friends had their wedding reception at an independent bookstore and they bought all of the guests a book to benefit the bookstore. It was great.
Thank you for the pottery card @TwoDoggies #28 I wonder if your Belgium trip crossed with Erinâs. What a coincidence!
Thank you for the mussels and French fries card! @emotis #10 Iâm jealous of all of the great food youâll have. I would never think to combine mussels and fries. Interesting combo. But Iâm sure people would think the same if chicken and waffles.
This cat card is great! @suatelier #23 They really do have so much power, but then they show you their belly and you canât help but love them 
Love this crimes of Paris card! @CrimsonKing #2 Iâve also wanted to go to one of those dinner and murder mystery events. I did pet my cats for you. They were grateful

#25 @teddypostcrossing - thank you! Been a fun, hot summer. Stayed indoors mostly, the humidity is really bad this year. Looking forward to cooler weather so I can enjoy walks again.

#4 @jenhart â Niagara Falls, New YorkâI think the Falls are much prettier from Canada, but youâre rightâthe crowds can be awful!
#15 @AccentOnHakes â âSanta Claus So Jollyâ made me think of snow and cold weatherâhappy thoughts when the temperature is 102!
#21 @Beachyblonde â Beautiful old home in Key West, Florida. Around here, the old homes I like to see are the Sears, Roebuck houses in Carlinville, Illinois, built by Pullman (of railroad car fame) for his employees.
#25 @teddypostcrossing â Cute Fourth of July postcardI love the summery stickers!
#30 @RockyRoadTrip â Compliments of Holiday Inn, Mountain River Countryâthis will go with my Holiday Inn postcard collection, although I donât see a Holiday Inn! Itâs prettier than most Holiday Inns anyway.
Thank you!

#5 @mikeyz1 Thank you for the awesome âla courseâ postcard! I was a runner a few years ago, but the most I did was a 10K. Some days I miss the high of running and I would still like to do a half, but I just donât have the time yet!
#7 @mere5oh Thank you for the epic Bison postcard! I wanted to see a Moose when I was in Maine too! I only ever saw the Moose Crossing signs! hahaa
#23 @suatelier Thank you for the lovely Oleander-Leaf Protea postcard! I hope your legs are better!

#3 @Cruzin for the hugely shaped California card! It did end up getting to me in one piece, thank you!
#14 @dnrhott for the Blue Cat card! I love this series and I believe they are a couple as well. Would be nice to travel the world like they do!
#15 @AccentOnHakes for the Salt Lake City card! I hope youâll be able to actually explore this city. I myself have heard a lot about it but never been to sadly! Maybe one day.
#17 @YOIYUMTEWA for the Grand Central Terminal card! Maybe youâll be able to visit NYC again and slowly visit more and more places until youâve seen it all!
#19 @ellistrations for the PHQ card! I also canât wait for cooler weather. Itâs been so hot lately and Iâm dying for autumn, my fav season!

#8 @Shesa-Renegade : Lantern Press/Yellowstone/Camper Van all in one. What a fabulous card! 
Iâm glad it was all open when you arrived - I had a friend out there right when it closed so they missed parts of the park.

#7 @mere5oh Ghost Towns postcard. Neat. And neat that you got to visit one in NM. There are handful of ghost towns in PA, the most famous probably being Centralia.
#9 @ljbbauer âWaterfall, Hollywood, 1988â. Subtle, yes, but cool. Have not heard of the photographer before. Interesting thing about author Amor Towles. I had never heard of him before, when another, international, postcrosser mentioned him. A couple weeks later was at an annual huge fundraising book sale locally. Found the book the person read (and which you have read)âA Gentleman in Moscow. Itâs in my stack of books to read, along with a couple others by him.
#23 @suatelier A Beatles concert poster. If youâve not seen it, a (fairly) recent movie with the Beatlesâ music as a theme has become one of my favorites. Itâs called Yesterday, and stars Himesh Patel. Ed Sheeran also is in it.
#25 @teddypostcrossing a Greg Louganis quote card, with a picture of him diving. Iâm old enough to remember him diving in the Olympics, but did not realize that he was oldest diver to compete in the Olympica.
#26 @sarahaeyo black and white photo focusing on the fad of âdestroyedâ jeans being worn and an in thing. And people pay crazy prices for them.
#30 @RockyRoadTrip black and white photo of kids in DC being cooled off by some water tossed at them.

#4 @jenhart Whoever designed the back of this Niagara Falls postcard knew what they were doing. Youâre right - all postcards should have lines for writing messages!
#6 @mikeyz1 Thank you for the card from Dixon Illinois, the childhood hometown of Ronald Reagan. I wish my petunias were as beautiful as these!
#7 @mere5oh Thanks for the great card from Waimea Canyon on the island of Kauai. Thatâs a spectacular drive and the view from the Kalalau lookout is breathtaking!
#9 @ljbbauer Thank you for the New Mexico card showing our state bird, the Roadrunner. I donât have this postcard in my collection. We rarely see Roadrunners here in Ruidoso, but I did see them all of the time when I lived in Tucson.
#10 @emotis. Your vacation sounds wonderful! Thank you for the great postcard of Fort Napoleon and the interesting Belgium stamps.
#23 @suatelier Thank you for the Box Tree Fairy card. It is adorable! I love mangoes too and have fond memories of eating them on a stick drizzled with lime juice and chili powder in Mexico.
#25 @teddypostcrossing I really like this Riebensahm postcard. I have certainly felt like that swimmer at times!
