Roses and stamps

Look!  It’s November and we still have roses!  Hooray!

Also, thanks to the triple threat of finally hitting my saving goal, birthday party and vacation paid for, as well as birthday money means I can start Postcrossing again.  Eliminating the purchase of stamps was one of the ways I funded the vacation/party.  Now I can start sending postcards to strangers around the world. 
While I was there I bought stamps for holiday cards as well as some of Jimi Hendrix.
