And Some More!

I am so thankful, I have not had a severe migraine now in several days and I wish I could describe the difference it makes in my life! It makes the other symptoms of the ME easier to bear. Here are several more postcards, and I still have a stack of 25 more to scan and list! Also, it was nice to see that this blog does have readers and that they aren't upset because it's so sporadic - thanks!

Enjoy!!

From my friend in Tucson, he had to stop in the middle of the road since the sign is in the median. I'm so pleased he risked his life for me! :)


A hedgehog for Belarus.


From Russia, with the words saying that "happiness is the absence of self-preservation."


Sent from China, but the sender took this photo on the coast of France. She sends her photos to a travel magazine, and then gets to travel more!


Maryland State Card


A Christmas card from our acupuncturist, with needles in the shape of a tree. She is one of the reasons I am not struggling with a migraine right now!


A beautiful handmade care from my friend in Australia. She is so talented!


Cows from Holland


Arches in the Alexander Church in Marbach on the Neckar, Germany. Aren't they GORGEOUS??


A patrol boat in Amsterdam, sent from Belgium.


I love pictures of train engines, and this one is from Taiwan.



A very young U2 group photo, sent to me by a 9 year old in Holland.

Weekend Roundup

From one of my favorite Russian artists, Victoria Kirdiy. She has such a whimsical way of viewing things!


This might be hard to see, but it was sent to me by a friend whose granddaughter was using stamps and ink. Since it reminded her of Spring, she sent it to me; we both look forward intensely to Spring!



A cut-out- and-put- together building from Dresden Germany. The sender only said "hello" and "goodbye".  :(



This is on the south coast of England, near where the Olympics will be held.



A lovely diptych window from the Union Church in Procter, Vermont. Window dates to 1928.



The Northern Lights Tower in Rugby, North Dakota.



A sweet hummingbird from France.



Wonderful old wooden doors and a friendly cat from Russia - love it!



A tiger Cavallini card.

Saturday's Mail

What a beautiful day today! 
And I was able to spend an hour in the hammock my husband bought me for Christmas! 
Enjoy the postcards! :)


A beautiful shot of Tampa Bay, Florida.




Festas da Cidade, a festival honoring a saint, in Portugal.




A subway map postcard from Munich, Germany.




A Cavallini card, with a vintage image.




This is my favorite!!!! I had made some art postcards a week or so ago (see my other blog for details) and mailed one to my sweet friend Kikie in Arizona. To thank me, he made this and sent it to me; he was working at the construction site at his church, and took a piece of cardboard, added some duct tape to stiffen it, then adhered part of the CAUTION tape. He wrote me a message on the back. This is probably one of the cleverest postcards I've ever received!!  :)
