Yay, that’s my last one! I was growing concerned. I’m glad I could participate this time, last time I was in the middle of a move and things were too crazy!
Two more in the mail today: An invitation to a You Catch It, You Eat It lobster lunch (Long Sands Beach, York, Maine) from davida03801 and a Holy Shit I Love Canada! card from minionkat. Canada Post has issued Star Trek postcards, and minionkat sent me one of “Amok Time.” As the wife was walking in with the mail she said “Someone on the Dope has great taste in postcards.”
Thanks, you two!
I got a beautiful card from Pai325 today - a chihuahua drawn by her nephew!
Plus it has three stamps: Elvis, Batman and Dobbie from Harry Potter! Perfect! Thank you very much!!
I just wanted to repeat the cards I got.
A lovely scene of Colorado, with mountains, a green valley and big round hay bales. Such a gorgeous sky. This was from** Ms. Jinx**.
The bright lights of the Seattle skyline, just before full night. I liked the northwest, all three months I was there. This card from needscoffee.
A similar scene of twilight in San Francisco, with the Trans America builing in the center. This was a “bonus” card from KarenLingel.
How cool, thanks! I bet some of those are worth a bit of money now if they are in good shape.
DANG!
I totally missed this. Maybe there’ll be a Christmas postcard exchange, or something …
:smack:
Sad
Could be!
A week after all postcards were supposed to have been mailed, I still have some blanks in my notes as to postcards sent and received. Please PM me, and the person(s) from whom you’re expecting a postcard, if you’re still waiting. Thanks.
Out of town for work, but will be back early next week. Can confirm that my one gap has been received then.
Thanks, but do it via PM, as asked, please.
What Christmas? I vote for a Labor Day exchange!
I’ll send you one if you PM your mailing address.
I received 2 cards from Baker. One of American Bison, the Kansas state animal, and one of the Kansas State Capitol copper dome in Topeka. Thank you!
Well, you could always start up the next thread (“2016 Summer Postcard Exchange v2.0”?)…and add your name to everyone’s mailing list to make up for the cards you missed out on!
The last card arrived, great shot of Niagara Falls from Whisky Dickens, who commented that mine had already been received. This was fun!
A another card from minionkat. Star Trek gunmen (Kirk & Spook) doing mayhem to the galaxy.
believe one more to arrive.
I got a card from** Whiskey Dickens**! It’s a view of Niagra Falls from the Canadian side! I’ve been to Niagra but always saw it from the US side, so this was really cool! Thank you!
This means I got cards from four senders, not three. I’ll just enjoy getting more than expected.
2 cards arrived from Baker on two separate days! Both postcards are of the Kansas state capitol. One of the exterior, which includes the new copper dome and a statue of a Kaw warrior named “Ad Astra.” Is there a story behind why a First Nations warrior has a Latin name?
The second postcard is a stunning shot of the interior of the dome. Gleaming and intricate, and just a good shot in general.
Thank you!
Oh, I don’t think it’s the warrior’s name but the name of the statue as a whole. A fine distinction I admit. His arrow is pointed towards the North Star, and the full motto of the state of Kansas is “Ad astra per aspera”, or, “to the stars through difficulties”.
I received my final postcard, from Whiskey Dickens last week. It’s a picture of Niagara Falls looking luminous in the nighttime with colored lights on it. Thank you!
Even though I wasn’t officially part of this summer’s postcard exchange, Helena330 was kind enough to send me two, both from lovely Seattle & gorgeous Puget Sound. (I’ve been to Seattle only briefly but have ferried around the islands there
Now I’m off to send her a couple from my side of the U.S. In many ways, both states are similar.
Thank you thank you thank you alllllllllllllll !
