Sara sent her thank you for her birthday gift in the form of 8 (or possibly 9) postcards. I received numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 today. The rest will pile up at the post office because Matt and I will be out of town for a few days.
I find these hilarious, and Sara pointed out how it was fun that the cats were the oppressed and the dogs were the oppressor.
Sara is quite good at finding humorous postcards. There is, for sure, a god of yarn and sticks I need to bow down to.
This image was created by Sean Tejaratchi and originally posted on Twitter. There’s another poster in the same style, if you want to go looking.
Sara reports the postcard is part of some fun sets Shawn got for her (and we now see how she finds these sorts of cards: Shawn). She reports that her grandmother might have had such a macramé.
This postcard was made by Cute Like Candy Corn, which is appropriate, as I believe Sara is a fan of candy corn. And cute postcards. You can find them on Etsy.
She reports that she had just woken up from a lovely afternoon nap.
My favorite kind of day.
I find it confusing that the photo is landscape, but the title is vertical.
Sara sends Boxing Day greetings. She reports that they traveled to Lincoln City and she got some outlet mall shopping in.
Sara sent this lovely postcard that she picked it up at the NCTE conference.
Sara reports that she is done with classes and that it was her day to work from home. Plus a WFH day with no meetings, which means the requirement for putting on work clothes is not in force.
Laurie reports that she and Burt spent a nice night in the Gloria Ellexson room, which had a balcony. She wondered if that had been our room when we last stayed there, the time that just happened to coincide with our wedding.
It was not, but I did remember our room. Laurie said that she and Burt had so many fond memories of the wedding.
Here we get to look at many bucolic landscapes of the Gem State.
Sara sends a hello from Coeur d’Alene, where she has a fire going and her sister and stepmother are making Turkey a la King with leftovers. Sounds like a good trip.
[I wrote two posts for this postcard without realizing it, so I might as well publish both posts.]
This one got a little bent in the mailbox.
Sara reports that her sister and stepmother are making Turky a la King with the leftovers and there is a big fire going.
Sounds delightful!
Sara sends this gridded vehicle card from the National Council of Teachers of English convention in the mile-high city. She reports that 19 books are returning home with her. Nearly as many as the number of cars on this card.
A thing you will need to know: Kelly’s birthday is August 6
This handsome fella arrived on November 6, all the way from South Africa!
Friend Kelly visited Botswana and South Africa. She sent her hello from the first place she found postcards: the airport in Gaborone. Her next quest was to find stamps and a mailbox, which she said would be in Cape Town.
Where has this postcard been for so many months?
Perhaps it’s because she put the stamp on upside down?
I can’t read the postmark other than the year.
Kelly had a great time in Botswana and South Africa. By the time I got the postcard, I had seen all her pictures.
