Sara reports that she is avoiding her summer to-do list, but must press through today.
Also that she’s been calling in for jury duty since 6/21 (she wrote this on 6/29) and they keep instructing her to call back tomorrow at 5 p.m.
From the back of the postcard: Hillside cemeteries and historic churches combine with Victorian architecture in Ferndale.
As photos go, this is not the best I’ve seen. The cemetery looks mostly empty and the buildings are framed in a way that makes them look hodgepodge. I’m sure it all looks much better up close.
Sara said that they popped into a little shop that had local organic eggs. Apparently the Instagram of the egg producers is a delight. I was not able to locate this delightful Instagram, but perhaps Sara will chime in at a later date.
Postcard three of three arrived today.
And now I know that Sara is anxious about what kind of case she might serve on for jury duty.
This is postcard 1 of 3 of the coffee trilogy, which means I’m missing one. Happily, I have received 1 and 2 in the lineup, so can read two-thirds of the message.
Sara reports that they are home from Napa (see previous postcard) and stopped at this coffee roaster because finding good coffee or tea is a challenge in their area, but this is a good place.
Sara also reports she potentially has jury duty this week. We shall see if she gets called.
Sara writes that the Napa Valley is lovely (and also hot, dry, and a bit fire-damaged.)
She notes among other activities, they are bringing back wine that she hopes to enjoy with me when I visit them.
Sara found this in a shop that hasn’t been open much during the pandemic. She wonders if the postcard still smells of the incense that was in the shop. I can say that it does, but not overly so.
Sara sends me a home-state postcard because she’s visiting her in-laws who also live in Oregon.
She reports that they did a lovely costal drive. Reading Sara’s message, I also got to see the different ink colors her mother-in-law has.
I almost couldn’t find this one in the pile because it is much longer than a postcard and wasn’t in the envelope where I keep the backlogged pile.
Sara reports that this is a Humboldt County artist.
I looked up this website and it’s for sale for $2,199.00, if you would like to buy it. I wonder what happened to joangold and their website.
Sara reports from her sunny side deck that she’s having a Summer Sara weekend.
She also observes that it’s a shame the artist’s name isn’t included on the postcard which both she and I like the style of.
Los Bagels: possibly my favorite find in Eureka, California. The is a picture of a mural in Arcata. They have more than one location. Sara reports that it’s after graduation weekend and they’ve just hosted her sister, stepmom, and cousin, plus her sister’s dog (who didn’t play well with Archie, Sara’s cat.)
This postcard, depicting red currant among the trees burned by wildfire in Trinity County, was written the next day, but arrived the same day. Sara reports that she has 136 or so things to grade, and that’s a good place to be in right now.
