> [@romansperson](#): > > I got three today - two from Baker and one from Weedy. Hey, me too! My two cards from Baker tout the Kansas State Flower (sunflower) and the “Kansas Native” Buffalo (Bison?). Did you know that the state motto was _Ad astra per aspera_, meaning “To the stars through difficulties”? Well now you do! Thanks! The card I got from Baker is a cool night shot of Sydney Harbor. Ta! (Mundane blondebear/Oz trivia:I was there 12 years ago this week when activists painted “No War” on the Opera House) ---

Got my card from the Great White North - **minionkat** comes through with the Calgary Stampede. I have now received all cards. ---

> [@blondebear](#): > > The card I got from [del]Baker[/del] \*\*Weedy \*\*is a cool night shot of Sydney Harbor… Fixed that for myself. One of the cards I mailed out hasn’t been received yet. Hopefully it will show up down under in a day or two. I have a backup/replacement ready to send if necessary. ---

I got two cards yesterday from Teuton, all the way from the UK. One had a black and white photo of Stonehenge taken many years ago. I’ve got all mine now, many thanks to Teuton, Fluffy, and Helena. This was fun. ---

I received a gorgeous postcard from Blue Mood of the Tower of London Poppies exhibit. I don’t know how you knew I was interested in art, but I truly appreciate seeing so many views of the exhibit vicariously! Since no one received the ones I sent last week, I will send more tomorrow. This is not exactly the boonies up here, so I have no idea how they all went astray. I put them in the drive-up box for stamped mail and assumed they would be okay. ---

I’ve received two cards so far A nice shot of a helicopter base from Tonyfop that my 9 year old loves. And a scenic valley called Cache La Poudre from “Jo”, which I deduced to be MsJinx in Colorado ---

I thought I was all set, but I came home today and there was another card from **Lsura**. It’s a fun retro one from Chattanooga. Thank you! ---

Received a postcard of the Rocky Mountains from **MsJinx** which makes me quite envious. Gorgeous mountain views, fresh air, and mention of elk. A far cry from the crowded city street outside my window! I’ve now received all of mine - thanks everybody. ---

I received my third card this morning (probably yesterday actually, but I didn’t check the mail until this morning.) It’s the lighthouse in Michigan City, Indiana, from **Personal**. I didn’t know they had lighthouses on lakes. Good luck, Personal, in your quest to buy it! Thus, I have received all my postcards, and all the ones I sent have also been received. Karen out! ---

I was afraid my cats might um… scare you guys… but by the time I really thought I probably shouldn’t send them… I had dropped them in the mailbox. Oops… it’s been a small worry since then… :o ---

I am the lucky recipient of not one, but two lovely postcards from JoseB. The first is a sweet looking cat advertising soap, and the second is a nostalgic print of babies in the bath. Both have the look of the nineteenth century, and they are very charming. Thank you! ---

Yay! I got a THIRD postcard on Sat’day, from **Personal**. It depicts the amazing Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore … where I used to visit as a very young child. Sandy and fun!
