Back in town late this evening, after a whirlwind 36-hour trip to Montana and back to tour the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. A pair of cards were waiting for me in the mailbox…
GROUP 1740
@steresem shared the cutest little prairie dog…thank you, Stephanie! Your Gracie is a lot more people-tolerant than Sir Meowsalot…his modus operandi around strangers involves a generous amount of swatting
@uconn sent a vintage linen postcard featuring a 1950’s beach babe (reminds me very much of an early Marilyn Monroe). Thank you, James! Postcard shows are great…one of the (admittedly few) things I miss about Tampa
2 cards from 2 different groups recieved yesterday.
Group 1733 @uconn sent me an awesome UN vintage card with UN stamps. This is great, I love it and thanks for sharing this with me
Group 1735 @LeftyLydia sent me a funny dog card. This dog looks like one of mine i adopted from the shelter in January. He is a big goofy thing that just wants to be loved
Yes, thank you for asking. Only minor flooding in their area. Found out the neighborhood I lived in until last July (during my days as @HoosierFloridian) got treated a bit more roughly, saw a picture of one of my former neighbors standing in water a foot deep in his front yard. Thankfully, the mobile homes there are almost all slightly elevated!
All have been received for group 1731.
That includes a beautiful detailed pattern card from @jendallas . The chandelier is lovely. How fortunate for you to have grown up surrounded by such architectural beauty. The oldest house I lived in was built in 1895 which was pretty cool.
3 cards came in from 1740 @steresem love the wyoming card about the last man legally hanged in WY. I am going to look this story up! I love true crime and actually watching a serial killer tik tok right now
@uconn
Thanks for the cool stamps and old cabin from Branson. I have been to Gatlinburg so many times but never Branson and its on my list (just farther away for me)
Last trip to the mailbox for the month of August was a happy one…
GROUP 1740
@sleepyhippo1 shared an autumn view of the monuments and cannon lining Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg National Military Park. Thank you, Marcella! Now that I’m out west, I’m really glad I visited so many of the eastern parks while I had the chance.
