The Great SDMB Summer 2016 Postcard Exchange!

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! :slight_smile:

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! :slight_smile:

EinsteinsHund that Sauerland looks like beautiful countryside! Glad you liked the Duluth card too!

Grrlbrarian enjoy the WI food when you get here! :slight_smile:

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. :slight_smile:

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.

Mailed!

Postcard #2 has arrived!

Anaamika send me great shot of the good ship Mohican cruising Paradise Bay on Lake George in New York. She also shared news of her nuptials!!!

Congrats!

I got a card from KarenLingel! It’s a lovely picture of the skyline of San Francisco, at twilight…Thanks!

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.

I believe Lsura is also using Christmas stamps…

needscoffee sent a lovely view of Seattle with Mount Ranier in the background - absolutely on my list of places to visit someday!

And I got another postcard, from MsJinx. It’s a lovely scene of the mountains in Colorado.

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’ve mailed my cards today.

The Butterfly’s Ghost has supernatural powers when it comes to four-leafed clovers.

And yes, it was a joint effort, and my task was to provide the butt ;).

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 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.:slight_smile:

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.

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.
