**Iggy** and **silenus** are proving that they are going to be the Johnnys-on-the-spot for this round. Patience, my friends. I said we’d wait 'til July 29 to give folks a chance to sign up. Of course, I could be bribed (with cheesecake, yum! :D) to make the cut-off July 23 (to give **faithfool** time to pm me her info). What say ye? ---

Okey dokey. I love a nice, old fashioned push to make me not a party pooper, so sign me up. My details will be along shortly. Thanks for doing this, **jayrey**. You’re a good egg. ---

I went to three different places today to try to buy postcards. A big supermarket, a big gas/convenience store, and the college bookstore. Nope. I might have to try to order some online. Or go to an antique store and look for some old linen Curteichs. ---

Historical society, historic site and art museum gift shops are great places to buy postcards. ---

If your town has a private library they often have historical cards. ---

Were you just looking for postcards for grins or were you planning to join the Summer Postcard Exchange? We would love to have you, of course. I don’t have you on the list yet. Just pm me if you wanna play! ---
