Postcards from Around the Globe

The first is from my mom, where she reports that they day was gorgeous and that the coast has been very windy.

Sara has sent me this postcard before, though without the sticker annotation. She writes that the previous evening she received an award, and that her day on the day of writing was filled with meetings.

Finally, cousin Ron wrote that Helsinki has grown and changed in ten years, but he and his daughter have mastered the transit system, along with second-hand retail.

I also liked this stamp quite a bit.

It was a really great mailbox day!

Mail from a Future Friend

Mail came today addressed to a future friend. Though I can see that it was sent from Dallas, this friend did not include a return address. How will I find my future friend?

Ah, but it’s just proselytizing. I think my future friend won’t want to be my friend if I don’t come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

What do you want to bet the “false religion” the mother was practicing was Catholicism?

I do love a friendly letter that ends in a scary quote from Revelation.

But! I love these booklets. I used to come across them on a fairly regular basis at bus stops and the like, but it’s been some times since I’ve gotten to read one.

SKS: From the Schultz Museum and Research Center

Because I now go by my full name and not the nickname, it’s been a few decades since someone called me Peppermint Patty in jest. I had forgotten they did that.

Sara and Shawn visited the museum and the ice rink Charles Shultz built.

Here’s the workspace from whence Peanuts sprang.

Sara liked seeing the books on the shelves. She reported there were a lot of art-focused texts and classics.

SKS: Design Gallery and Cats

This one is from the Laura Vincent Design & Gallery on NW Davis in Portland, and Sara writes that she can’t remember where it came from. Maybe from Shawn?

From this card I learned that Sara, Shawn, and I watched the movie Thelma on the same weekend.

This card is from Bibliophile Postcards. It would be nice if they also identified the bookstore. I don’t see Fup.

Sara has watched Bridgerton!
