I put LilMiss under both the pen pal AND the postcard exchange-
If anyone wants a lovely postcard from Minnesota (think Spoon Cherry Bridge, lakes, loons…)… we’re your people

Smiley Bear isn’t a good writer but he LOVES getting mail!
I’ll drop Shib a line and get him on the list. Add your address to the card and we will send back cards with pictures from the Eccles Dinosaur park, union station train station and other assorted local views.
FCM, Smiley Bear just ADORES gators!

As I said in the other thread, with Philly we got all kinds of historical, plus Rocky. I’ll be happy to send out some postcards to doper kids.
Alas, the vacations planned this summer are for nowhere exotic – a few days in Chattanooga visiting my aunt, then the annual week in Cape May (Jersey shore). I can do postcards from there, too.

Virginia ain’t what you’d call ‘exotic’ but we’re in!

We live in Ohio. Everything is exotic compared to here. If you get to spicy they make you move or sign a waiver. It’s all relativity. And Sicily would be so cool.

I was in Sicily 20 years ago - it _was_ cool!!
When I go to Baltimore at the end of the month, I can send some cards from there, too.

Maybe it’ll make our weekend activities more exciting than going to the movies, I’ll take my son on postcard-worthy discovering trips! Fr’instance, Henry Ford Museum is less than 10 miles from me, but we haven’t been in years, this’ll give us a reason to go.

Probably tonight or tomorrow night. There are a lot of requests, so it will actually be a bit of work. It’s not mindless like posting to a message board can be.

**Shib** - I think I forgot to note who I am in my e-mail on behalf of LilMiss.
Um, yeah. The e-mail that notes LilMiss is from me.

I’ve just sent an email with a spreadsheet to everyone who emailed me about their interest. Please review and update any missing or incorrect info.
If you wanted in but DON’T get an email then I’ve screwed up so please let me know and I’ll forward to you.
Also, huge thanks to **TheLoadedDog** , who already sent a couple of Postcards to the Shibbletts from the land of Oz. They were very well received! I did have to explain where Australia is, but they know that kangaroos come from your corner of the world, so that’s a start. Next we’ll get them up on the more exotic fauna.

Got it - thanks, **Shibb**!! I’ll buy me a mess o’ Florida cards in the next day or so, then get them on their way. Then in 2 weeks when I’m in Baltimore, I’ll do it again.

Got it and replied! Will be sending some post cards out soon. Are the penpals hooked up yet? Should we start writing?
Again, thanks for setting all of this up.
