I love so much about this postcard. It’s sparkly, but not in a glitter way. It has cute drawings. It does the A to Z thing. So delightful!

Sara reports that it’s week 3 of the semester. How time flies.

The postcard says these are promotional buttons, but what would they be promoting?

Sara reports that she is off to meet her new students. Summer Sara has left the building.

Sara is back in Northern Idaho, and she sends a hello from Priest Lake, where her family went for a scenic drive and dip in the lake.

Northern Idaho has some good lake action.

Because I now go by my full name and not the nickname, it’s been a few decades since someone called me Peppermint Patty in jest. I had forgotten they did that.

Sara and Shawn visited the museum and the ice rink Charles Shultz built.

Here’s the workspace from whence Peanuts sprang.

Sara liked seeing the books on the shelves. She reported there were a lot of art-focused texts and classics.

This one is from the Laura Vincent Design & Gallery on NW Davis in Portland, and Sara writes that she can’t remember where it came from. Maybe from Shawn?

From this card I learned that Sara, Shawn, and I watched the movie Thelma on the same weekend.

This card is from Bibliophile Postcards. It would be nice if they also identified the bookstore. I don’t see Fup.

Sara has watched Bridgerton!

This postcard documents different buttons. Most of the descriptions say “date unknown.” But one of them, 321.8, is from the American Library Association.

I recognized 321.8 as a Dewy Decimal System number and looked it up.

According to LibraryThing, 321.8 is Democratic Government (formerly Republic).

The list of selected works is interesting:

What was the American Library Association getting at?

Sara reports that it’s quite good to be home, and especially nice to see the cats.

Sara writes that she got this postcard in Yachats at the gift shop with 25-cent postcards. She got this one and 14 others.

This postcard also commemorates Shawn’s grandmother’s internment, which Shawn planned using his excellent order-of-service skills. Sara found the service very moving.

Sara and Shawn headed to Astoria after Portland, and Sara had a lot of good things to say about the town.

In this postcard, she reports that they did the column (you can see it in this postcard, a bit larger in scale than it really is) and poked around the shops.

This one says in full: HEY YOU GUYS! Sending happy Goonies goodness your way.

And this one has some good Mama F. quotes written on it.
