Sara sent this postcard from Newport, where she headed after Portland,
She notes that the postcard had a printing error, and indeed the lines for the address are on the wrong side.

SKS from PDX (mailed by me)
While we visited the Bliss House, Sara grabbed this informational postcard, which she then gussied up and put in a multifamily mailbox down the street from us along with a birthday card for her sister.
However, that building isn’t yet occupied and when I checked, the lock hadn’t been installed in the outgoing mail slot. I assumed that the mail carrier wasn’t regularly picking up the mail.
So I grabbed both letter and postcard and put then in the mail on the way to my job club. I did not read the postcard before I sent it.
Once it was delivered, I read that Sara thanked me for hosting such a good visit.
Postcard from Hocking Hills
Cousin Ron sent this from what looks like a lovely place to visit in Ohio.
SKS: Glacier National Park
Sara’s family took a trip to Glacier, where they ate lunch at this lodge.
She reports that her uncle and sister biked the Going-to-the-Sun Road, and that they family took a loop walk.
SKS: Idaho: The Sportsmen’s Paradise
As I type the postcard’s words into the title, I see that an apostrophe has gone missing from the card.
Sara calls out the same thing that was my first thought: only sportsMEN?
Sara has gone back to Coeur d’Alene because her father died, and so this Idaho postcard comes to me. She said that the weather was chilly enough to have a fire and for her sister to make potato leek soup, both nice things.
SKS Blood Bank Klamath River Reflections
Another fun postcard from the Northern California Blood Bank, complete with post office additional ink.
Sara reports that she is back home and happy to be there, though frustrated with the campus closing due to protests. Her graduating class was mostly made up of the group that had their senior year hijacked by Covid, so they were having flashbacks.
SKS: Spinoza
This postcard came with an authentic USPS smudge. It’s from Bibliophila: 100 Literary Postcards.
Sara reports that it’s been busy and, among other things, she and Shawn took in a matinee showing of a very fun, over-the-top Twelfth Night.
SKS: CdA and Liberty
Sara writes from Coeur d’Alene that the quote listed on the postcard is a bit more terrifying these days and she’s a little eh about it. Same.
She reports that she was headed toward a queer-owned coffee shop in Post Falls.
SKS from Arcata with Book Promo
Sara writes from the Sunday before spring break about her getting ready to spend the week in Coeur d’Alene.
SKS: Colorado Postcards
Sara sent these two postcards from the conference she attended. She said she had a good final session that was the perfect closing.
She reported that this postcard was offered at the resort in lieu of an image of the resort itself, which was funny.
I know from text messages that the resort used some selective photo taking in their marketing materials.
