Just got my second card. This one’s from **minionkat**. A very cool green skull from the Stones 'N Bones Museum. Just the thing to scare the cats away from the beer fridge. 😃 ---

> [@ScareyFaerie](#): > > I got a bonus postcard from **Labtrash** this morning - great picture of the park and a very interesting building. Ah-Ha! That’s why it didn’t come out evenly when I was doing up my chart! I accidentally assigned **ScareyFaerie** to four different people, and thus had one left over, so I sent out four myself. So, to tally, the following have had all three of their postcards received: **Elendil’s Heir silenus Anaamika labtrash JoseB ScareyFaerie Cunctator** There is also a group who have not had any of their postcards arrive yet: **Iggy Sunspace FrancesCastle Northern Piper** [sigh] **Iggy** at least has the island time excuse. 🙂 ---

> [@minionkat](#): > > I love your username too. To answer your question, yes, many trips to Stratford were made. Basically every year in high school as a part of the English curriculum. It is only about a 90 minute drive from where I grew up. I have tickets to see Christopher Plummer in [_A Word or Two_](http://www.stratfordfestival.ca/OnStage/productions.aspx?id=16138&prodid=41235) next month. I can’t wait. Sounds great. Mrs Piper and I used to go to Stratford quite regularly, but then the Cub arrived, and he’s still a bit too young for it. In a few years time, maybe we can return… ---

The cards I sent seem to be arriving in order of farthest to nearest. That is not what I would have predicted. ---

Yay! So all 3 of my cards have been received. I thought of you when I was at the State Fair the other day; one of the concessions was selling deep-fried Buckeyes. That would make a cool postcard. ---

Thanks for the offers to send additional cards; I’ve already taken **IvoryTowerDenizen** and **Lsura** up on their offers, so I think everything will work out evenly.
