And I also got a card from @Teuton today - a close-up of a tapestry from ca. 1590 showing Oxford and its surroundings.
In the mail today from @Kimstu: a “Saratoga Wild Roots” card of fiddleheads, which are apparently in short supply for foraging this year. Thanks!
Ferns are taking over part of our little garden — I gotta weed them back about twice a month (I love the smell of my hands after doing this). Would they were more evenly distributed!
3 postcards in the mail today! 2 from @Teuton, 1 showing French seashells on the seashore, the other of Historic York, which I have visited. Thanks!
I also received notice that my trash collection rates will be going up soon. I much prefer Teuton’s cards.
I received a postcard from @Rebo featuring things Texas is known for.
I seem to remember the Alamo has a basement that not many tourists know about.
Thanks, Rebo!
I have been very remiss and I am very sorry. A close RL friend passed away and I’ve been helping out with that instead of playing online.
@Mollie_Magill kindly sent me two Tennessee postcards, one with Nashville pics and one of a very nicely maintained Confederate cemetery.
I’ve driven through Tennessee a few times a year on my way to somewhere else, I do need to drive there just to stop and look around.
I also received a lovely card with pictures of Birds of Australia from @penultima_thule. Thank you so much, the birds are beautiful as always and your handwriting is fabulous. Engineer or just a better skool system than us mericans get?
OK, with the empirical evidence that @Rebo is in the game, we have reached 90% of pledges being mailed, 55% have been received and 84% of participants have received at least one (at least according to posts). That so many of you seem to have issued extras has caused some confuddlement with the scorekeeping.

I received a postcard from @Rebo today! Thanks!
I’m a little concerned that no one seems to have gotten any of the ones I mailed over a week ago. Hopefully, the mail is just slow and they’ll show up eventually.
Got a postcard from needscoffee today, my last of three this round, showing a red rooster, the Space Needle and a cheery message about the high likelihood of daily coffee in Seattle. Thanks!
I sent two cards per person in my groups, and one extra, for a total of thirteen cards. It’s nice to see them coming in.
I’ve had a couple more through.
One of Mount Rainier National Park, from @silenus
One of a large Chicago hotel from @kenobi_65
And another from @romansperson showing a herd of sheep in a yin Yang formation.
The next card arrived, with a view of Poughkeepsie from @Ulf_the_Unwashed. And he writes in perfect German! Thank you very much!
I’m in two groups, five cards already arrived, so only one left.
FYI, JaneDoe42 has also received my card.
I sent three to each of my three group members, for a total of 9, plus I’ve sent one each to two other folks.
Same here. Triplets always, plus some extras.
I, too, sent out triplets.
Received an envelope full of 3 postcards from @pjd - loved learning about your hometown! So much fun. That means I have received from all 3 of mine 
Thanks everyone!
I sent one to each of my three assigned Dopers, plus two “bonus” Dopers (@penultima_thule being one - I’m also rather surprised at how quickly my post card made it all the way to Australia!)
Thanks to @Kimstu I just learned about fiddleheads. And for some reason I have a compulsion to watch Little Shop of Horrors. 
Thanks for the quick lesson!
Got another card from @Teuton today, depicting the flag of Brittany. Thanks!
I have recieved a total of four cards. I’m sorry for not acknowledging until now. I have a crazy monster Sci-Fi card from @RealityChuck . Another card with a forecast of “Cloudy with a chance of coffee” from of course, @needscoffee . And a second card from @needscoffee with a picture of the original Starbucks. The fourth card is from Switzerland with Rigi Mountain on the front. Unfortunately I cant read the signature, just D.C. Is that @Die_Capacitrix ?
Thanks, everybody! It’s fun to see cards from all over the world!
