> [@melodyharmonius](#): > > [QUOTE=me] > I received my first card today (thanks floatygimpy!) and I will be sending out mine this weekend - apologies for the delay, I’d explain if I didn’t think my excuses all sounded so lame. Anyway, if I promise that I’ll actually send out my cards on Saturday, can I play in round 3 too? did they get mailed yet? [/QUOTE] Yes. Yes! They got sent out Saturday, they are incredibly pretty, and I apologize most profusely for being late, and I am now groveling before you, oh Melodyharmonius, as well as before the SDMB as a whole - please let me play in the third round! Also, I humbly report that I received two postcards from faraway California, one from **Reply** , another from **The Blue-Sighted Shadow**. Thank you all very much! ---

I sent two, and i am very sorry for the delay, but i am having difficulty getting my hands on any Indiana postcards. I am hoping to send the last one Tuesday. I can only beg for forgiveness and the third round from the SDMB because i thought i had more postcards. I have some postcards from a hotel in Louisville, Kentucky but i have no recollection how i got them, nor can i say with much certainty that i was at the hotel i got the cards from. I did get cards from Noone Special, Butterscotch and Cherryblossomgirl ---

I got a postcard and then left town for the weekend, and then got busy with work all week and then had another busy weekend … anyway, I did get my third postcard from Round 2, _long_ ago … from Cherry Blossom Girl. Thank you! ---

Wowsers, wowsers, wowsers! A chilly rural dawn scene from **old\_joe** , Thank you! Could offer you an equivalent scene from my home … except we don’t have any mountains (or hills for that matter) and I’m not sure it snowed there even in the last ice-age. That gives me the full set. Three in, four out! ---

I just got one from **gardentraveler**! It went into my neighbours mailbox by accident. It’s a beautiful card from Puerto Rico with a lovely frog on it. 🙂 The card is from Puerto Rico but it was mailed from Ohio. ---
