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.

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

Interesting Ones

Oh, sometimes I get frustrated with how slow I am at adding postcards to my blog!

But since the blog is for me to share, and even if no one visits, it's ok and I will enjoy it!

A marvelous map of Scotland, and the sender says she lives "opposite of Edinburgh, over the Firth of Fourth, in Fife"!  The Firth of Fourth is a body of water near Edinburgh.

A Mountain Altai tribesmen, a shaman, from Russia. Interesting, he reminds me of the American Indians.

Strahl Creek in Indiana, what a peaceful scene!

From Poland, left to right - Pierogis, Oscypek (smoked cheese made of salted sheep's milk), and Ogorki (pickled cucumber). Yummy!

From Germany

The uses of straw in the Ukraine.

Beautiful window lighting in a shop in Poland.

Cranes in German - they look like they are dancing!

I received a large envelope from the Ukraine, with all kinds of goodies inside! The sender sent me these two postcards, the first one is an old Ukrainian khata, the second card is 40 years old....

.... you can see the wonderful stamps she put in the envelope, plus inside was a packet of marigold flower seeds, (Chernobrystsy flowers-symbol of Ukraine) and some Ukrainian coins.....

... and an Easter magnet! Wow, how nice of her to put together such a wonderful gift!

Back In The Groove!

Trying to get back into the routine, so we'll start with the postcards which have been waiting patiently to have their turn in the sun:

The North facade of the Old Water Tower in Chicago IL, at Christmas. I think it's a great old building!

Lovely view of Lake Harriet, Minneapolis MN.

This card is from Poland with rubber boots on display. The sender also included a small coin from their country.

Festivities in honor of Saint-Jean, the protector of Porto City, Portugal.

From Russia, a painting by Swedish artist Karl Larson showing Christmas Eve as the children wait in anticipation to be allowed to come into the room where the Christmas decorations are. How sweet!

The Cathedral and Bell Tower of Erice, in Sicily.

Siberian Jay bird in Finland.

The UN Building in NY City.

A great old card depicting the Beatles at the launch of their Sgt. Pepper album.

This Beatle card was sent to me from China. On the back is printed "To usher in the Beatles new masterpiece, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band, Brian Epstein hosted a small soiree for an elite retinue of media personnel at his home in London's Belgravia. The Beatles. fully decked in their current hippy regalia, were a bit worse for wear due to the ingestion of some illicit substance prior to the gathering, although they happily posed for the photographers, one of whom was a young American named Linda Eastman. If anything, it meant the transformation of John that evening. Evidently the lifestyle he was adopting was taking a considerable toll on him. May 19. 1967" If you look closely, you can see they are wearing the same clothes as in the photograph right above this one!

And one of the most famous album covers of all time!
