I like that the year is listed on this tiny poster/large postcard. Often they are not, and I get annoyed because why wouldn’t people want to know in what year the concert took place?
Sara got to see the Indigo Girls at this concert with Shawn and her sister Jess. However, as you can see from the postmark on the wrong side, she sent it to me after she got home to Arcata. She reports that the Indigo Girls did “Galileo” as one of their last songs. It seems like an apt closing song.
Cousin Ron sent this postcard from Tartu, Estonia. He sent it in an envelope, so it’s in quite good shape. He said that he and Janelle are spending a few days in Estonia before heading back to Helsinki. They’ve been walking everywhere and the weather has been nice.
Here are the fun stamps that got this to me. It also took 24 days to arrive, not a terrible record for Europe.
This postcard was spotted by Shawn while it was laying on the ground near the entrance to Cal Poly Humboldt. He suggested Sara grab it and send it to me. She thought there was no way it would be blank. But it was!
And now here it is with me. She reinforced it with some clear tape around the edges before she sent it.
The first is from my mom, where she reports that they day was gorgeous and that the coast has been very windy.
Sara has sent me this postcard before, though without the sticker annotation. She writes that the previous evening she received an award, and that her day on the day of writing was filled with meetings.
Finally, cousin Ron wrote that Helsinki has grown and changed in ten years, but he and his daughter have mastered the transit system, along with second-hand retail.
I also liked this stamp quite a bit.
It was a really great mailbox day!
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.
Sara and Shawn snuck away for the weekend to take in the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. They watched both Much Ado About Nothing and Macbeth. They enjoyed both and also rallied through the 100-degree weather.
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 added some friendly ice cream stickers to this bee-and-flower covered card.
Sara says that the stickers on the front and the back are her “I’m not going to buy anymore stickers” stickers. She found them at a grocery store.
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!
