I’ve been meaning to say I got an absolutely stupendous postcard from Anya Marie? Hard to read the signature. It’s got an 800 pound skull of a T rex on the front! It’s awesome. I also got a Wildcat Cafe from Northern Piper some time ago as well as a “Breakfast of Champions - Buffalo Wings” from Wayne. Sorry. I’m a little behind. Thanks! ---

Got a postcard the other day from **~Olive~**. My ex-husband lives in HI, but I think he is on Oahu. I also received a card a few weeks ago. That must have been a bonus round card from **Northern Piper**. Thanks!! ---

I got one today from **gardentraveler**. Thanks! It features The Ohio State University football team.

Who knew? 😉 I’m a transplant who was born a Michigan State fan, but I’ve lived here so long that I’ve outgrown my distaste for the Bucks. ---

> [@Baker](#): > > Did anyone get the cards I sent?☹ Patience, young padawan! We have discovered many vagaries in delivery time in doing the Postcard Exchange. The most dramatic is that it seems to take less time for a postcard to come from Australia to the United States than it does for a postcard to go from the United States to Australia. Why this should be so is unknown; possibly some temporal warp device used by the Australian Post Office. Cards do ultimately seem to arrive, however. ---

I’ve still received only one card here. But with daylight saving having now started, I’m at least into the summer mood. ---

I got two postcards today, both from fine country of Canada!One from Minionkat, with folksingers featured that I will have to check out. My sister knew exactly how they were tho. (Kate and Anna McGarrigle, for the curious). The other was from Northern Piper, featuring the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Awesome! Thank you!
