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.
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.
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.
Cousin Ron sent this from what looks like a lovely place to visit in Ohio.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sara writes from the Sunday before spring break about her getting ready to spend the week in Coeur d’Alene.
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.
