picunurse: if you went through San Antonio on the way to Corpus Christi the you went within a mile of where we live now! We are about 27 miles south of San Antonio about a mile west of HWY 37.
Gorilla Man, yeah, I was bowert on the list. Sorry for the confusion!
I’ve been bad, I have 11 post cards from list number 2 left to mail. I swear I’ll hit the post office and get those out tomorrow. I still need to print the short list and get those out too. If i can crank out the last 11 here (already addressed, just need to write note and buy postage), maybe I can get out the short list tomorrow also.
I’ve received 12 post cards already, and sadly, today is my first day of getting the mail and no cards.
But the good news is, I found 2 more different post cards today and they must be 15 yrs old, just sitting in the store trying to be sold. I got 5 of each. And mostly I’m excited because I found a post card of the Pithlachascotee River that I live on. This river isn’t really all that long and I just can’t believe there’s a card. I might go back and buy 30 more.
I also found a weird card and I think it was dbygawdcapn that wanted weird ones. Kinda dumb, but definitely weird.
And, belive it or not, I still can’t find a card saying “Florida state bird” with picture of mosquito. lainaf , did you get a card like that from Florida yet?
I’m still having fun with this and after I finish what names I have, I’ll be requesting list number 3 from Misstee
Oh, and my husband is also really enjoying the cards too.
Thanks for the cards everyone, this weekend I’ll post who I received cards from.
I will be sending out and few more postcards Monday. I live 20 miles away from my P.O. box and can’t go there everyday to check it. 
I did check the mail yesterday though and received many cards.
Lok ~Picture of the Brumback Library (looks almost like a church very pretty)
Quiltguy154 ~Nice looking quilt called the Tennessee Lily
Low Key ~Pretty view of Goteborg (I need to look that up on the internet)
Sternvogel ~Plane flying into the horizon
lainaf ~Santa Claus House, North Pole, Alaska
Hugh Jass ~Texas style BBQ (can’t wait to try the recipe)
Bambi Hassenpfeffer ~Beautiful picture of St. Petersburg Fl.
screech-owl ~Universal Studio Popeye water ride (looks very fun)
A big thanks for making my day. I love all the postcards I have received. 
One today from screech-owl. I don’t know what it is like to work there, but it looks like a fun place to visit.
Lok
My apologies to everyone on list #1. I didn’t fill my cards out until last night, and they should go out in the mail today.
I have a nice pile waiting for me to peruse, which I will also do today.
I spent 2 hours figuring out how to do a document merge in MSWord and setting up the text blocks to fit the cards I bought, only to find out that the would not feed through my printer. Hope y’all can read chicken scratches… 
I was also at Lackland AFB for basic training, but, that was in 1965.
As previously stated, I’ve been remiss on this adventure. I sent a stack of 15 out this morning.
I’m now going through the pile that’s accumulated over the last 2 weeks.
Ashkicker - I love the Smokies! Too bad NASA doesn’t have a facility in Asheville…
Hugh Jass - My dad lived in Sherman (TX) for a few years.
Archergal - Beans at Stone Mountain, GA. That rumbling probably isn’t thunder…
Libwen - the Michigan capitol in Lansing
Low Key - Thanks for the Swedish card, just like I ordered.
Sternvogel - living in Indiana, not too far from where I did, sent a card of a hotel in the Netherlands
Quiltguy - nice quilt card. Maybe I should get you talking to the mrs., because she’s a quilt fan, too.
Lainaf - I’ve always been a fan of the south, including Mississippi. Except they’ll probably kick me out for being a Pepesi drinker…
Lok - I’ve actually been to Van Wert! I went to college at Tri-State in Angola IN, and roamed widely looking for girls and cheap beer…
Ravenous Lady - I thought manatees were aquatic speedbumps…
Bambi Hassenpfeffer - I’ve only been in Florida as far south as Melbourne, which is the wrong coast for you. Hopefully that will change.
I also noticed that every one of you misspelled my last name, which is Hostetler. That means I must have goofed when I sent my name in to Misstee.
Haven’t any of the cards I sent arrived yet? I’m sure I put stamps on them. and even addresses. My hand writing isn’t great, but…?
I feel like a redheaded stepchild.
I know picunurse , I mailed mine out Monday for goodness sakes.
I got cards yesterday from
GorillaMan: Such pretty scenery in Suffolk! I’m jealous!
Archergal: Now I see why all these people are talking about beans!! That’s an awesome idea - do you bring beans with you everywhere for photo ops?
And I’m starting to wonder why mine aren’t getting to anybody yet. Canada Post is notoriously slow, but I sent them out last week…
More in the mail today! I’ve received from:
Roxx222 - the recipe sounds wonderful: too bad I am a lousy cook! (I’ll have my neighbor try it out for me.
GorillaMan - ooh, lots of boats! I am pro-lifejacket, and I boat!
Torie - whee! More boats, and a cove to boot!
Thanks folks!
I’ve got a big ol’ pile to report:
Tanookie: Big grey stone Norman-ish looking edifice, that can be rented for functions.
screech owl: A roller coaster in Florida that looks for all the world like a giant green rubber band.
Archergal:Old style red brick schoolhouse, that just kinda’ grew.
Hugh Jass:Aerial view of Austin, TX
LowKey:Six views of Sweden[love the lobsters!]
sternvogel:Art Deco-cum-Svengali[the movie] in color.
lok:First county library in the U.S.[being from Philadelphia, and what with Ben Franklin and all, maybe, maybe not]
Bambi Hassenpfeffer:St. Petersburg, the one with palm trees.
RavenousLady:Windswept, palm-lined Florida beach.
Ashkicker:A dozen views of the Great Smoky Mountains.
lainaf: Another roller coaster, this one obviously from a RC afficianado.
libwen:And the winner, thus far, is a patchwork quilt map from the great state of Michigan[I’ve suggested, to my guild members, that we do something similar for New Jersey]
Thanks to one and all. Some of you guys were not on my list, I’ll have to see ‘bout gettin’ back atcha’.
Many thanks to misstee for being an ace coordinator.
Yup, they’re trickling in, and I love getting happy mail.
So far, I have gotten cards from ibwen, lok, Sternvogel, dbygawdcapn, Bambi Hassenpfeffer, Hugh Jass, Archergal, & Ravenous Lady
This is a neat Idea!
Thanks to aankh for the cool postcard. You’re the first to ask me about my name actually. I’ll leave you guessing though.
Also thanks to Rooves, The things you learn. 
I haven’t mailed mine yet, but I did get them all purchased!
Some of mine are coming with no house number. I’m getting them anyway–which is somewhat miraculous. I live on a street with only about 40 homes but our carrier routinely gives people the wrong mail and I’m regularly running stuff down to the correct house. I hope if any of my neighbirs don’t recognize my name, they’ll use the neighborhood directory to find me.
Oh, I see the problem now. My house number is printed as part of DazzlingWhite Diamond’s address.
That’s the typo MissTee mentioned earlier. Well if you’re still aiming to send me one, peel the “3636” off of DWD and use it as my house number.
Updates. I got cards from:
GorillaMan: I could do with some Florida sunshine too. Last couple of weeks have been our standard springtime downpours. It’s clearing now, though.
screech-owl: I’ll have to take you up on your offer some time after the semester ends. I’ll talk to you on 4/24 @ FCM’s going-away.
dbygawdcapn: I like your sumo wrestler fans. I in fact have two of them I bought from Archie McPhee. Neat.
Just put my second batch (15 cards) in the mail. In addition to libwen and dbygawdcapn, I’ve now heard from Lok, Low Key, Ravenous Lady, quiltguy154, lainaf, Ashkicker, Archergal, screech-owl, Hugh Jass, and Bambi Hassenpfeffer. So I’ve sent 30 and received 12, with at least eight more scheduled to arrive. it’s interesting to see what everybody picks to mail to me (and, from reading this thread, whether a particular poster opts to send multiples of the same view, several related scenes, or a random selection).
misstee: Glad you’re glad I’m sticking around! Hope this idea will become an SDMB tradition.
Yay! I win!
Anyway, after the first two, I’ve also received cards from:
Sternvogel, of Coca-Cola graphic art. How was the basketball game, and isn’t Kellogg’s interesting? My dad works in Battle Creek, so we go there occasionally to have dinner and enjoy the sites of the Cereal City.
Archergal, of the Dutch Mill in Duluth. You know, west Michigan has a large Dutch population, so that’s a familiar scene!
Ravenous Lady, of manatees. They’re pretty cute, in a pug-ish way.
Lok, of the Brumback Library. Pretty cool – all-white lit up at night.
QuiltGuy154, of an Album quilt. While I am not talented that way at all, I do enjoy looking at quilts and other handicrafts. Thanks!
lainaf, of a possum from Alabama. Don’t worry, I thought the story was funny, despite not being there!
Bambi Hassenpfeffer, of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. I imagine the view is quite spectacular.
Hugh Jass, the classic Texas postcard. I really like it, and I don’t intend on messing with Texas in the foreseeable future.
Low Key, who really made my day with his postcard from Goteborg. I had just taken an exam over Northern, Southern, and Eastern Europe that day, and I come home and there’s this postcard about Goteborg, one of the largest manufacturing centers in Sweden. Blew my mind!
screech-owl, of Jaws. This one scared me when I saw it, because I thought it was a real shark at first. Then I realized it would look a little more traumatized if it were real.
Thank you all for brightening my days for the last week and a half!
