I dropped my cards in the mail slot a couple of hours ago. And I’ve received cards from **Baker** and **Elendil’s Heir**! ---

Yesterday I got a Kansas bison card from **Baker** , and from **Karen Lingel** a “bonus postcard” showing the dramatic surf at Lighthouse Point in Santa Cruz, Calif. Thanks! I presume the non-bonus postcard is still in the mail. ---

**Nayna** ’s card came today and now I am thirsty! It also had a cool stamp on it. The folks who received cards from me might notice something interesting about the stamp as well. ---

Thank you romansperson for the “Guglhunds welcome” card from [Café Guglhupf](https://guglhupf.com/). 🙂 I just had a look at their website: the menu looks great! And yes - bread and beer is both very important (and usually really good!) in Germany. 🙂 ---

And yes - bread and beer is both very important (and usually really good!) in Germany. 🙂 Glad you got my card today and enjoyed reading about our tiny little piece of Germany transplanted into the American South! I was intrigued that you got **silenus’** card before mine. I believe they were mailed around the same time, but I am 2,400 miles closer to you than he is; the mails are mysterious things … Also, the [card](https://www.inkognito.de/en/postcards/greeting-reasons/photo/2151/perm?c=0) that **needscoffee** got from me is from a site you recommended during a previous iteration of our postcard exchange threads. I love that site! ---

I mailed all of my postcards on Wednesday! And I’ve received two postcards - one from **dbygawdcapn** - I love the card - and who knew scratch 'n sniff stamps existed?! - and one from **Allecher** , with a cool history of the Toad Suck Daze Festival! Thanks for the fun, all! ---

I got a card today from **Helena330** with a picture of a [Frank Lloyd Wright house, Wingspread, in Wind Point WI](https://wrightinwisconsin.org/wingspread-wind-point). It is much nicer than my house. Thanks **Helena330**! ---

I received two on Saturday, one from **Allecher** and one from **Nayna**. I only pick my mail up once a week since I retired from work and it’s so nice to get something besides bills and ads. It looks like all three of mine have been received. ---

Score! Got cards today from **romansperson** , **needscoffee** and **helena330** , who shares my approach to these exchanges. _Al dente_ mouse tail, Leavenworth, WA (I’ve been to the building on the card!) and Mr. Data.
