From Ted, who sends flowers and a Mark Twain quote.  I kind of like that the post office cancelled this on the wrong side.  I think it adds to the charm.

 

Apparently there was a postal strike.  I wonder how long he forgot to register this.  Usually postcards between Germany and the US take 7 days.

Jan, do you recognize that postcard as one you gave me years and years ago?  It sat on my bulletin board until I took down said bulletin board during all the tidying this spring.

 

It’s quite nice to get “thank you for visiting” postcard from the people who so generously hosted me.

 

While I was visiting Minneapolis, a postcard from Minneapolis was waiting for me at home.  But it’s not just a postcard, it’s also a coaster.

 

Sveta sent me this pretty view of Peterhof Palace which you can visit in St. Petersburg.

She also included a stamp with a Russian Knight “Vityaz”  Wikipedia has the following links to that word.

Doris sent me this lovely view of Karnten where she was born.  The river is named Drau and the Kernische Alpen are in the background.  She also sent me a quote on this postcard.  Look for it in the very next post.

 This is from Anne, who sends best regards from Germany.  She also includes the quote “An optimist is someone who orders a dozen of oysters hoping to find in them the pearl to pay the bill.”  I enjoyed Anne’s quote and her quote reminds me that this blog template has a quote feature.  Perhaps I shall investigate that.  While I’m doing that, check out the stamps.

Paivi sent me this from Finland.  She loves to spend time by the sea, traveling is number one in her life and she’s always eager to see performances.  Paivi and I would get along quite nicely.  She includes a great stamp too.

Regular commenter Sara recently visited Duluth and I got this postcard in the mail.Some part of me really wants Duluth to be in Montana.  I’m not sure why.
