SKS: Smithsonian Museum Vintage Picture

Sara turned a calendar into postcards and so I got this lovely view of the Smithsonian. And now that I look closely at the picture, I can see the top of the month and year at the bottom of the postcard.

Aside from a fun stamp with flan on it, she also shared some of the less-motivating stickers that she’s not sending her students. My favorite one says “good effort.”

Also, any mention of “flan” reminds me of the birthday flan in the television series Friends.

Postcard Changeover

Here’s the before picture. These postcards have been up for quite some time. But now I have time to put up the new postcards that have been waiting in the wings.

Here’s the new batch. These are pretty old. I actually have enough postcards to do a new round tomorrow. But I like how even though postcards are mostly pretty standard thing (a rectangle with a picture on one side) they still manage to be different sizes.

Will it be years or months before these cards are changed? Stay tuned.

SKS Postcard: Lion Puns

While this may have been in a postcard package meant for Sara’s students, there’s no way I wasn’t going to receive it. The reason? Our high school mascot was the lion.

And while the tiger is affirming that it isn’t a lion, Sara spent the back of the postcard affirming that Lions are king. Because that’s what the cheer taught us 20+ years ago.
