> [@Northern\_Piper](#): > > and a lovely card of Red and Zed arrived yesterday from **jackdavinci**! painted turtles, right? Yes! I was beginning to worry. If sending a postcard to Canada takes this long I can only imagine how long Australia takes 🙂 That makes all postcards to and from me complete. ---

Received my last card today, but I can’t tell you who it’s from. Really. I can’t read the signature! 🙂 The card is a picture of the library at Oklahoma State University. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > It’s about time! I was beginning to doubt the existence of International Post there for a bit. I was beginning to think that perhaps the USPS stockpiles its overseas mail and only sends it out in batches, weekly, fortnightly etc. or when enough has accumulated. ---

I have received a beautiful card from **minionkat** and an EXTRA BONUS ™(C)(R) card from **Algher**. Thanks guys! 🙂 I am worried, though – it seems as if none of my cards have made it! ☹ I swear, I put them in the mail on August 20th! Finally – I am up for the 3rd round! ---

I’m starting to get worried. Only one of my cards has been reported as received, and it’s the international one! My only hope is in that both of my intended recipients have only posted ONCE to this thread… ---

And a lovely card from **JoseB** , of the resort beach of Schevenigen, near The Hague, has arrived in today’s post! I’ve now received three cards! ---

Looks like all 3 that I sent have arrived (and yeah, I knew you’d appreciate the spectacular skyline, **BooFae**. :D). Yay! I posted earlier that I’ve received 2 from this round as well as a bonus card from **Algher**. (I’m guessing I’m either on **Labtrash’s** or **JoseB’s** list…am I right?) Also, I’m in for the 3rd round. Dates don’t matter to me. I’m hoping to find some different cards at the arts festival I’m going to on Monday… Thanks again to all who’ve sent me cards. It’s been fun! ---

> [@Cunctator](#): > > **Northern Piper** - did **kmshrader** or **Nayna** end up participating? Trust the dual class actuary/lawyer to keep track of these things! I’ve not heard anything from either **kmshrader** , **Nayna** or **Man With a Cat.** However, I’m thinking that **kmshrader** may be the source of the card that **Francis Castle** got with a difficult signature. > [@Cunctator](#): > > And what’s Red and Zed? Two painted turtles, taken in close-up. I assume they are **Jackdavinci’s** reptilian masters. ---

I had Nayna and kmshrader on the list and they should have received their cards by now, if Cunctator got HIS and his card had to travel 9000-some-odd miles ---

My third card arrived yesterday. It’s similar to **FrancisCastle’s** : a picture of Oklahoma State University and an illegible signature. We had more snow last night!
