Came home from work to find a postcard today from Grrlbrarian! A lovely view of the Adler Planetarium that reminds me of Star Trek TOS - LOVE IT! 🙂 Glad to hear all my packets made it to everyone safely - YAY! That was fast! Romansperson that Cuyahoga River bridge does look like the lift bridge in Duluth! 🙂 EinsteinsHund that Sauerland looks like beautiful countryside! Glad you liked the Duluth card too! Grrlbrarian enjoy the WI food when you get here! 🙂 ---

And I’ve got a third postcard from **Silenus**! This one has the Southern California Desert and allows me to put together the message across the cards. 🙂 ---

Huzzah! And the second wave to the late-comers hit the mails 30 minutes ago. ---

Okay, mine are in the mail. Hopefully they’ll arrive intact. I’m in the middle of my 3-week road trip, so I won’t be able to report on any cards sent to me until mid-June. ---

Thanks, everyone! Remember, all postcards should be on their way by Tuesday. By my count, eight Dopers still haven’t dropped their postcards in the mail yet. ---

I got two postcards today! One from Denver and one from the Hague, both from **Algher**. I am amused to note that **Algher** , like myself, is busily using up his Christmas stamps. ---

Two postcards in the mail! The first was the front of a cute blue elephant from The Butterfly’s Ghost, and as a surprise, a four leafed clover was taped to the back. I don’t find four leafed clovers, and have really never seen one, so I was excited to get this. Then, as a surprise, a postcard showing the rear of the blue elephant from EinsteinsHund! Totally unexpected! It was more amazing because it had slipped inside of a magazine that was delivered at the same time, and it wasn’t until this morning that my husband came in and said, “I think this is for you.” Thank you both!! ---

I received my first card yesterday, a picture of the Starschnitt elephant from The Show with the Mouse, from **The Butterfly’s Ghost**. Now I can anxiously await some butt in the mail.🙂 ---

Yesterday I got a postcard with a beautiful aerial view of Lake George, N.Y. from **Anaamika** , and no fewer than three (!) postcards from **Algher** : a Dutch museum card showing (I think) two people dancing, a promotional postcard for a Dutch handmade Western-style boots and leather goods company, and a Forties-era view of an airline stewardess serving a meal to several well-dressed passengers. My thanks to you both! Remember, all postcards should be on their way by Tuesday. ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > So…yesterday I got yet another postcard from **Algher**. Dutch cowboy boots. Did I miss the memo that said we were supposed to send multiples? Thanks, **Algher**! I have had some delivery problems in the past - so I do a multi-card blast now. I also pick up random cards in my travels - and save them until the call goes out. ---

Over the weekend, I got a card from **Karen Lingel** , showing the front of the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, all vintage style-like. Very nice.
