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.

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: 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.

SKS: Girl Stars

Sara sent this pretty postcard, which the PO mauled a bit.

Books I’ve read in this list: The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, Harriet the Spy, Pippi Longstocking, Alice In Wonderland, Roller Girl, Anne Frank Diary of a Young Girl, Anne of Green Gables, Beezus and Ramona, The Secret Garden, The Poet X, His Dark Materials, Little Women, Women in Science, Heidi, Matilda, and Island of the Blue Dolphins.

Sara said she got this as part of a set of postcards her mom sent her and that she was excited to send this one to me. Sara said she had read 11 of these books and guessed I had read more. Indeed, I’ve read 16. Aside from the ones I read when I was a kid, I can thank Librarian Book Group for a bunch of these.
