Received my second card yesterday from Baker in the far off land of Kansas. Thank you!!
Finally made it to my post office when it was open and I had a full [del]mailbox[/del] pigeonhole. When your entire post office is the desk on the front porch of a nice older lady then you don’t get actual mailboxes. It took me a couple years to get my own pigeonhole, having moved up from a pile of mail under a seashell on the corner of the desk.
As a one person operation the entire post office is subject to being shut down for vacation, a medical appointment, or miscellaneous errand. I stopped by a few times over the last couple weeks but just wasn’t managing to be there when the postmistress was home… until today. She does stamp received on times as they come so, in order of arrival:
Oct 2 The Seattle skyline in all its glory on a card from needscoffee along with a brag about the weather. And the coffee. Cayman is close enough to Jamaica to get good Blue Mountain beans… possibly the second most common agricultural import from that island.
Oct 2 The Maine coast is the feature of a card from Atomic Mama. To answer your question… our seafood is pretty good but your lobsters outclass our Caribbean claw-less lobsters any day. Try a conch ceviche for a taste of my island.
Oct 4 I have a nice card of the Shenandoah Valley from Raventhief. Why do I not remember cliffs like that from my roaming around the southern Appalachians?
Oct 8 Bonus round card of a northwoods cafe from the Northwest Territories thanks to Northern Piper who wins the prize for the single largest postage stamp on any post card. Of course if your stamp features the HMS Titanic then the stamp has to be huge!
Anecdote to add… upon my visit to the post office today the postmistress’ husband was home and well engaged in one of his favorite past times - hand weaving palm fronds to make a tote bag or basket.
What a great post Iggy. I’m picturing the postmistress’ husband weaving away right now.
I haven’t received any more cards. **FloatyGimpy’s **one from Canada got here over a week ago, but nothing since.
I hit the Canadian trifecta this round. Had already mentioned the Mountie from FloatyGimpy, received a passel of Mounties from our esteemed organizer a couple of days ago, and today received a stamp-themed postcard from minionkat. So, yay! All 3 received for this round.
Thanks everyone!
Who’s Wayne?? 
Not on my lists…
See my comments re temporal warp device in post # 117, supra. 
There you go, Baker! The USPS comes through for you!
You know, until you posted this, I hadn’t noticed that you got an All-Canadian theme this round.
And only 2 Mountie cards out of 3! not bad!
And today I got a nice winter scene of a snowy bridge in Manitowoc from Francis Castle - thanks!

I received my second postcard, an underwater scuba scene from Iggy in the Cayman Islands. Where I wish I were right this very minute!
Thanks, Iggy!
I have no idea. The handwriting is just that bad. The postcard is at work so I’ll check again on that day.
I have received two cards. I thought I’d mentioned them but I guess not.
One is from Anaamika, and is a neat picture of African wildlife. The other is from Anya Marie, and there are beach scenes fro Siesta Key on Florida’s West Coast. If I had a beach body I’d like to be there!
Anaamika and Northern Piper, I guess I’m Wayne! It’s true; my handwriting is awful. I should just type on the postcards and save all of us some trouble.
The postcard described was from a former Exchange, though. Maybe it just took a long time to arrive.
So only one of the cards I sent has been received? I swear, I sent three!
Received my third and final postcard yesterday from Iggy. I’ve never actually swum in the ocean, let alone gone scuba diving, but the sun and sand parts sound delightful! 
I have received all my cards and have finally posted mine. Only US stamps this time though.
If I squint really hard I can see that it says “Nanya”. 
But yes, now that you mention it, it says September 5, and I only got it at the end of September (I posted late). So it still took a couple of weeks (!!) to get here. And I only live across the state!
My second card arrived last night, and it’s another from Canada, sent by minionkat. It features a Canadian musician, Bruce Cockburn.
Thanks minionkat!
YAY! I had a stress dream featuring Bruce this weekend. Glad it arrived.
In other good news, my second card arrived. Scuba fun from Iggy!
