Does Anyone Read This?

If there are readers, I apologize profusely, because I have had a hard time of it health wise and have not been able to post anything. And I am so far behind with stacks of cards to post (small stacks, but still...). Maybe I should forget about doing a postcard blog, I don't know. But anyway, here are some of the cards I have received.

A great bicycle postcard sent in an envelope from Ukraine, with a coin for me!


A monastery in Spain.


Shei-Pa National Park in Taiwan


The Japanese stately art of Noh (it's the description on the card)


An old camping poster from Finland.


A canal in Amsterdam, Holland.

Great old mailbox in Taiwan.

Double Post, Number 2

Here is the second group of the day!

A Jetoy cat based on a Vermeer painting, from Holland.



Big Ben in London, England



A Santana house in Madeira, Portugal; farmers lived in the ground floor, and the attic was used to store farm products. Now it looks like a playhouse!



Vintage card from Holland, look up at the right hand corner, it has a stamp with Rebecca on it (Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm), that's the reason the sender posted it to me!



Multi-view card from Estonia.



A cool 1950 bicycle sent to me from Russia!



The propellers of the the Titanic (see how they dwarf the men below!)



I love this card from Germany!



Church of the St. Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky, Belarus.

Oh My! Too Long!

I did not mean to go this long without posting my cards!
So, now we are all caught up!!

The town of Khanty-Mansiysk in Siberia Russia.


From Holland, an older illustrated card which the sender says is now "hip" in Rotterdam!

From Taiwan, this sweet illustration of the story of The Little Prince.
