Yippee! I received postcard número uno today from the wonderful **Anaglyph**. It’s huge, trifold and an incredible bunch of different shots of the loveliness of Zürich! Oh my goodness, I’d kill to visit there. The panoramic view on the inside will be going up on my wall. Thank you! ---

I got two postcards today! One is a beautiful field of tulips in Oregon - I love the red of the flowers, thanks **jayrey**! The other came Australia and **Cunctator** , which is an awesome view of Sydney Harbor. Beautiful. (I also got the newest issues of Garden & Gun and Harper’s, so all in all it was an excellent mail day. 🙂 ) ---

I got another card today, this one from **Cuncator** , with a gorgeous view of Syndey. I’m ready to move immediately!! Can I come crash on your couch?? 😃 (just kidding.) What a beautiful place. I had no idea. And is that a little hedgehog on the stamp, **Cuncator**? He’s so cute. ---

I’ve had a house-full of company for the last week, so I’m playing catch up. 🙂 I received a card from **JKellyMap** last week. 🙂 It’s kinda nice to hear from a next-state-over neighbor! Yesterday I got one from **The Butterfly’s Ghost** that came all the way from Cologne, Germany! I’m going to work on mine tonight and get them in the mail tomorrow or Monday. I hope the recipients like them! ---

_Danke_ to **Butterfly’s Ghost** for the card depicting Cologne’s _other_ famous tall structure (a landlocked lighthouse – who knew?!) – that card traveled fast! – and, to **Pai325** for the first of two cards (this one of a beautiful quilt). **Cheez Whia** , no problem…look forward to it. ---

I got the first of **Pai325** ’s cards today, and I am looking forward to the “real” card! I actually got mine to the PO yesterday, so I’m feeling pretty good about that! 🆒 ---

I’m just home from choir practice and have discovered my first card in the letter box. It’s from **Lsura** , and it’s a 3-D one showing the CNN World Headquarters in Atlanta. Plus a rather interesting circular stamp. Very nice. ---
