Sara reports that she and Shawn visited this store on the weekend and she snapped up the card to send to me. She also reports that she’s writing it during a meeting, but that it looks like good notetaking. Very sneaky!
As free postcards go, this is top-notch!
Sara no longer remembers where she got this postcard, but she sends me summer greetings regardless.
I do like California poppies!
Sara sends seventeenth anniversary greetings from this historic inn. Also, as she was writing the card, the inn had just reopened after the quarantine.
Another fun fact! Sara’s mother and father (long, long divorced) stayed at this inn once in their marriage. Sara notes it’s a very charming inn.
Sara reports that she’s taking a quick grading break to send postcards to her students.
I think we’re all glad we made it through that not-ideal semester.
Sara found this postcard and decided to send it to me. She had been using it as a bookmark and it was among her bookmarks.
She reports that the day she sent the card was both her mother’s birthday and a Friday.
The White Eagle is just down the road from my house, and it’s fun that a postcard from there came all the way from California. And probably did a stint in Minnesota, too!
Another in the postcard set that SKS is sending to her students while they distance learn.
Sara sent me an inspratoral message complete with blue ink, stickers, and the Harry Potter font on the address label.
Very fun!
My nitpicky nature has me immediately saying, “but what if you need a person to achieve your dream?????”
Sara says, “These were a few ‘I can’t send that to my students’ duds in this set of postcards I gave Jeff Bezos money for. You get to enjoy their just-off sentiment. I mean, do you feel encouraged by this? What does it even mean really?”
Clearly we are in agreement.
Rachel sent me this postcard so she could show me where she lives. It appears “Austin” has a lot of extra named towns that are part of it.
I think my favorite on this map is Pflugerville.
There is no better recipient for a pun than me!
Sara writes to congratulate me for all the hard work I’ve been doing getting my copyediting business up and running.
I see this pun as a lovely reward.
Another SKS postcard she sent her students and I got in on. Sara reports that sometimes the students display the postcards she sends them in the background during their Zoom meetings. Pandemic fun!
This postcard advertises a local coffee roaster that Shawn likes. Sara says I will see this one again. She also comments that March was 80,000 years long and April 30 seconds long.
We’ve all be adjusting to how time passes in quarantine times.
