SKS: Oak Woodlands

SKS: Oak Woodlands

Sara informs me: It’s a palindrome day—12/1/21! Exciting!

It is exciting! I’m not sure if I properly noticed on the day itself.

SKS: Welcome to Eureka

SKS: Welcome to Eureka

This is a fun map.

Sara sends me fun fall break greetings. Sara notes that they didn’t make it to the 2021 mural festival, where this was painted on the side of a building. But the artist did let them vote on the border and Sara voted for rope.

SKS: Ferndale Lantern Press

SKS: Ferndale Lantern Press

I love the design of this postcard, and the colors, which are colors I wouldn’t put together.

Sara also mentions that she likes the stylized version of the icons. She writes that she really enjoys the climate of where she lives now.

SKS: Giant Tree

SKS: Giant Tree

The postcard text on the back says: Aptly named, this is one of the largest living trees on earth. I’m not sure why that tickles me so.

Sara sends me a birthday week greeting and says she’s excited to see what my cake is this year.

Sara reports they have been waiting (and waiting) for their solar and HVAC and that it’s been cold in the house because of it.

I also felt it was important to take this picture for reasons I now can’t remember. Perhaps I was enjoying the postmark dovetailed with the subject?

Free Gift?

Free Gift?

I got these tickets in the mail for my “employees”

Reading the fine print, it seems that my “employees” need to have a child in order to take advantage of the free ticket. And they will need to pay for themselves before the child gets in free.

Still, I did have a great time at the monster truck rally I went to that one time.

Sara reports that she has a no-meetings work-from-home day. Hurrah.

Also that she’s ready to be done with the semester, but has two months left to go. Less of a hurrah.

SKS: Greetings from Spokane

SKS: Greetings from Spokane

Remember how I was in the Spokane airport for a few hours? On the same day, Sara and Shawn were also in the Spokane airport! They had been in Coeur d’Alene for a wedding and had a lovely time.

Postcard from Elks Temple

Postcard from Elks Temple

This was mailed in Portland, but it’s from Laurie who wrote the postcard in Tacoma on 8/19 to commemorate that we got married!

It was fun having Burt and Laurie as our witnesses!
