Just Rolling In

When I returned from my trip to the cabin there were a stack of postcards waiting for me. I'm really liking getting something in the mailbox other than junk mail!

Kristin sent this card from Chicago's Museum of Science & Industry where she volunteers, although she lives the next state over in Indiana. She is particularly fond of the lego displays they have there. And she's a Star Trek fan.

Linda sent her card from Vancouver. She loved the hustle and bustle of the city during the Olympics. Her home sits just north of the US border.

Mircea sent his card from Ploiesti, Romania. He wrote nothing but my address on the card! I had to do some research to figure out that this bust is of Julia Hasdeu, daughter of a famous Romanian writer. Julia, who died at age 18, was an accomplished poet and musician. Her father built a castle in her honor after her death, claiming that his daughter's spirit provided the building plans!

Brigit in Germany made up for Mircea's lack of writing by squeezing 29 lines of print on her card! And she used a glitter marker, too! She recently moved from Munich to the small town of Meppen. She's a survey engineer who likes to read and skydive. She was excited about visiting her mom over the Easter holidays. The card says: Pit of Nordhorn, Germany ...experience the city of water! (Maybe pit means lake. At least that's my best guess.)

Lastly, I received this cool cut-out card from Maggie in Austria. Vorarlberg is what we would call a state, and it's major cities are shown on this card. Maggie lives in a small village in the Alps.

Join in on the fun.
