@YOIYUMTEWA yes! And come during Fiesta! The weather is cooler, the skies are beautiful and though there are tourists in town, there is still less than over the summer!

Hi @CrimsonKing ! This image is looking up inside the balloon called Infinitude which is owned and operated by The Fractal Foundation. After my flight on that particular day, my balloon landed and shortly after we landed, Infinitude landed just feet from us in the field. Since I mainly crew for hot air balloons (as in, I donât fly as much as I crew), I went over to the Infinitude balloon and helped them until their crew could arrive. This is when I took this photo up the envelope. Youâre looking at the crown of the balloon, and itâs what you would see if you were in the basket!

#1 @cawindt a lovely camping in Michigan postcard! What a nice, serene scene. I agree that writing cards is a nice reprieve from the challenge of the week.
#4 @jenhart a lovely âBlack Women Matterâ postcard; thank you! I love how we switched where we ended up living, but I agree! Iâve even been getting my hubbie to admit to liking (not quite loving yet) the Midwest.
#9 @mere5oh a beautiful southwest meetup postcard! I love the design, Meredith! I also recognize so many of the usernames 
#30 @RockyRoadTrip a GREAT Greta Thunberg postcard! True that it climate change is the real horror story.

#1 @cawindt Cute Halloween card with pumpkins afraid of a black cat! I hope your friends enjoyed the Balloon Fiesta! Hope you get to come down and enjoy it soon, too!
#3 @Cruzin LP Dia de Muertos card! Thank you! I hope youâve been able to locate all your cards (& tax stuff) now!
#6 @mikeyz1 Great Buddha - made from earthenware - card! Thank you! Thank you for the chant!
#8 @Shesa-Renegade âThey did the MashâŚâ Halloween card! Thank you! And, I love this monthâs quote!!! 
#10 @emotis World Postcard Day card! Thank you!!
#12 @teddypostcrossing Amelia Calavera card! Gorgeous! Thank you! Definitely go to Japan! I would love to visit Japan one day, too. Also, so great that youâre still connected to your past students! We are as well, and enjoy watching them build their lives!
#14 @dnrhott Gorgeous beach shot! Wish I was there! Iâve been wanting to get to a beach for so many years now. One dayâŚ! Thank you!
#22 @uconn GIANT postcard - Calavera of the Revolutionary! LOVE it, Thank you!!! I also really love the stickers you added! Are you happy to be back in the office? We have 3 dogs, but mine specifically is a giant goofball, and when he even hears the slightest anything outside, will wake me up to go out. And, most times, when we get to the door, heâll just stand in the doorway, then turn around and run back to bed. Ugh!
#30 @RockyRoadTrip âHalloween Witches and Spooks are about- They will grab you - nab you - If you donât look out!â Thank you for the cute Halloween card! Haha, I saw a meme today that someone posted to Facebook that gave the new Michael Myers movie 3 stars because it didnât include any âGroovyâ or âDo I make you horny baby?â lines!

#12 reporting-Three excellent cards arrived this afternoon:
#1 @cawindt~Jelly fish are always a concern! This âTime Outâ Michigan card is so inviting! I agree-enjoying nature and just listening is really essential, yet we just donât do it enough. I have never been to Michigan. I have always wanted to go on a Lake vacation! Thank you!
#29 @melvnoble~This mixed media piece is just awesome-all the parts must have been collected over time by the artist. Alexander Calder created this in 1944! I love seeing those details of art! The buggy washi tape is very spooky⌠and cute! Thank you!
#30 @RockyRoadTrip~Thank you for this sweet vintage witch Trick or Teat card. I am not sure about the trick-r-treaters this year. We have a pretty mixed neighborhood in terms of people with young kids and people with older or no kids. I am guessing they will be coming out to ring doorbells as long as the weather is good! I will have my jack-o-lanterns ready! Oh, and candy too!
Thanks very much!

#29 @melvnoble - thank you for the pretty winter scene. I agree, love snow, hate driving in it.

#1 @cawindt very lovely and peaceful looking scene. Thank you.
#21 @Beachyblonde Nightmare before Christmas is my all time favorite movie. Love the Halloween card. Thank you.

#13 here with cards from:
#3 @cruzin â a recipe for Old South Pecan Pie. I must attempt to make one of these. I love a good pecan pie. One of my favorites! In my endeavors to rid our house of âstuff,â some of my Halloween decorations have gone to my daughters. Not all, but some! My witch, Sinead, still terrorizes greets trick-or-treaters every year. Sinead is a mannequin we inherited when our neighbors moved. She has been our resident witch ever since (not including me)!
#6 @mikeyz1 â a fairy tale book illustration urging me to âBe a romantic.â Well, if a knight riding a white horse carried me away to his castle, I guess I could be! I must admit I caved when our youngest, our daughter Sarah, cried and cried when I left her at preschool. I took her out and gave her another year at home. She was fine the following year. This same daughter now leaves her Josephine, who will be 2 in January, at preschool. She cried the first two weeks or so, but now goes in without a peep. However, when she sees Sarah at the end of her day, she carries on as if she had been in prison. The teachers say she has a fun time. Little stinker!
#9 @mere5oh â Thank you so much for the Postcrossing meetup card from the 6th Annual Southwestern Meet-Up featuring all the hot air balloons! And, what a terrific cancellation mark! Iâm sure you had a wonderful time. I love meetups and am having severe withdrawal!
#12 @teddypostcrossing â Thank you very much for the cute Halloween card. Although I can find something to like at all four seasons of the year, I really do like Autumn and all that October brings in the way of celebrating the season. I do like Halloween and all it entails. Great stickers and washi!
#22 @uconn â Thank you for the painting by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio featuring an angel tending to Saint Francis of Assisi. A visit to a museum is always an enjoyable way to spend the day. We used to take our kids to the museums in Philadelphia when they were young. I must admit that their favorite rooms were the ones filled with armor and mummies. More recently, our grandson wanted me to load the mummies we took him to see on my phoneâs lock screen. I declined his request!
#25 @jocrafts â Diamond Head Lighthouse on Oahu. What a beautiful sunset sky. Thank you! It sounds like you had an outstanding time in Hawaii. I imagine if you went back your days would be filled with still more new experiences. Jealous!
#27 @KeKet â Thank you for the very creepy, burning pumpkin and the great washi tape. Two of my granddaughters ages 2 and 4 are enamored of Jack! They have not watched the movie but have seen the one song which popped up on YouTube. All four of our young granddaughters ages five and under are crazy about skeletons and the Day of the Dead. Go figure! Puccini & Verdi play ball. Now that is funny!

#6 @mikeyz1 sent a statue card from ancient Rome. I love it, and glad that she notices the snake climbing up the back of her leg. Yeesh! Iâd be freaking out, lol. Thank you for the card! 
#29 @melvnoble sent a reproduction of a 1910 card of a church in Poland, Ohio. The church looks beautiful on the outside and Iâm sure itâs just as beautiful on the inside as well. Thank you!

#1 @cawindt â A gorgeous Michigan sunset, and great vintage stamps. Thanks! So much fun to stumble upon a stash of new postcards! I was in West Virginia last week and found cards I hadnât seen in Ohio for years - many of the same cards, with the name âWest Virginiaâ substituted for âOhioâ. No matter! I came home with a stack.
#6 @mikeyz1 â Iâve been going through all my âartâ postcards received (scanning them to Flickr), and I really appreciate all the great ones youâve sent me. I really liked this surrealistic painting for âCrime and Punishmentâ. Thanks!
#11 @PostAddy â âKeep it Creepyâ! I love this advice! From a pumpkin head! What a great Halloween card! Thanks!
#12 @TeddyPostcrossing â More Halloween fun - ghosts! Thanks! Your âRun Across Americaâ sounds interesting to me. My hiking club has a challenge to cover 1,000 miles this year. Walking is just fine. As Iâve gotten older, I walk more than I run.
#14 @dnrhott â An old-fashioned Halloween card. Thanks! I do indeed love the cool fall air â and the leaves. But they havenât changed color much yet. Fall is my favorite season.
#15 @NittanyLionRI â Thank you for the Wyoming Jackalope. I have a small collection of postcards that I call âimaginary animalsâ, where this will fit perfectly.
#21 @BeachyBlonde â Happy World Postcrossing Day to you, too! Thanks! I sent out some postcards that day (including this RR), but nowhere near what you did.
#24 @roxy â A different World Postcrossing Day card - thank you! A bridge named after your mother-in-law â wow!
#25 @jocrafts â How wonderful that you are in Hawaii! I have never been there. I love the lava card! Thanks!
#29 @melvnoble â Wow! I love this statue! Thanks! Do you know where it is or what itâs called? I tried googling the image but couldnât find it. We drove (detoured) around Pittsburgh last week â went on a hiking trip to West Virginia. When I saw the highway exit for Poland, Ohio, I thought of you.
#30 @RockyRoadTrip -This Halloween card has everything but the black cat! A great old-fashioned design. Thanks!
You can see my postcards for this RR here.

I had tried to reverse google image that postcard as well but I am not sure what it is. I got it in a random lot of postcards. I wish it had something on the back to say what it is! Even though Iâm in Pittsburgh, Poland is always my home!

My âmainâ fiber hobby is weaving. Stitching is an evening pursuit, often while listening to podcasts or books on tape. Then I read before going to sleep.
I forgot to add that a lap stand is another great option. Look for a Morgan Lap Stand, they now come in two different hoop sizes at once, easy to assemble and disassemble, and reduces wrist strain.

re homecoming: I grew up in Germany and neither it nor the surrounding countries have anything like it.
Update from #2 Sunshein:
#1 @cawindt - Dear Craig, I really appreciated not only the card, but that the wildflowers were actually identified. Not sure if you can call low 80âs (our temperatures) fall weather, especially as there arenât many trees that loose their leaves here. Awesome stamps.
#9 @mere5oh - Dear Meredith, echoing the earlier comments, thanks for the picture of all the floating balloons and how did you get a special cancellation mark?
#21 @Beachyblonde - Dear Whitney, purple is my favorite color, so the typesetting and the imagery is very much up my alley. Why does the Post Office put neon orange line codes on the FRONT of postcards in addition to the black code on the back (and it doesnât overlap)? Anybody?
#29 @melvnoble - Dear Mel, my second incline railroad card, so fascinating. Thanks for the Halloween decorations on the back.
#30 @RockyRoadTrip - Dear Rocky, thanks for introducing me to a new-to-me artist Jan Sierts Wierenga. My family, both in the US and in Germany, hand me a cup of coffee and donât talk to me before Iâve drunk it, so Iâm assuming my face is similar to yours and the painting in the morning
