And please remember to post here when you’ve posted your cards, and also when you receive them. Got my names 9/22 … will get cooooool (I hope) cards Monday & send them out. In the meantime, the wonderful USPS LOST my giftie to a friend I hadn’t seen in 45+ :eek: years. ☹ And I sent it via PRIORITY MAIL. Is nothing sacred??? :mad: Let’s hope my lil’ postcards fare better. ---

> [@Northern\_Piper](#): > > Oh, and one housekeeping matter - once this round is over, I will be deleting all my pm’s, e-mails and my address grid - I won’t be keeping everyone’s personal contact info. I’d have no objection to your keeping it. Might save you some work later (unless you are well and truly done with being our hard-working postcard impresario). My three postcards are written and stamped, and will go out in tomorrow’s mail. ---

All cards in the mails, and one received from **Northern Piper**! A beautiful card of what I can only assume is a Canadian mansion of some sort, belonging to one of the elite of Yellowknife. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > All cards in the mails, and one received from **Northern Piper**! A beautiful card of what I can only assume is a Canadian mansion of some sort, belonging to one of the elite of Yellowknife. Ah yes, you got the crippled bootlegger one! I’ve been wondering when they would start trickling in down south - there’s only one road from Yellowknife to points south, and I think the post goes out by truck, not by plane. I was home before the cards I sent to the Piper Cub and Mrs Piper arrived. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > I’d have no objection to your keeping it. Might save you some work later (unless you are well and truly done with being our hard-working postcard impresario). Oh, I’ll probably do it again next year. It’s not like I’m operating on HIPPA standards or anything, but I think it’s best not to keep personal contact info kicking around once the purpose for which I received it has been accomplished. ---

Got my cards into the mail today (Tues.). FINALLY! :dubious: (Annoyed with self for delay.) Got my first card yesterday 😃 From Northern Piper … a beautiful photo of some remote parts of the Canadian Subarctic NWT. Ya know, I really like Canada. I’ve enjoyed my trips thru various parts, and hope to get back to the GREAT BIG CITY of Toronto next spring. I miss Alaska & the Yukon. And I have SO enjoyed the Postcard Exchange(s). Thanks to all. Let’s all do it again … ---

That was the Piper Bonus Round card - I was feeling guilty about how long it was taking to get Round 3 going, because of my road trip. Plus time on my hands in Yellowknife… Glad you’re all liking them!
