Postcard #68: Painter of Light


Sent via postcrossing to plp

I hope I never reach a point when I would rather get an unadulterated postcard than exchange words however vapid with another human being.  I will be happy to hear why postcards without any correspondence  possess value.  Postcards...without writing being sent in envelopes.  What's the point.  If you want a bunch of images on card stock...just surf the net an put them on shutterfly and be done with it.  Cut out the middleman.  But until then...send me your cards and your writings.

Postcard #66: Resignations


This is the first postcrossing card that the person has specifically asked for me to mail the postcard in an envelope.  I still don't know how I feel about that.  Seems a little...strange. Like being asked to go on a trip but I would have to wear a blindfold until I reached my destination. Godspeed little postcard.  This one is heading to Russia.

In case anyone thought I was making this up or I lean too much on hyperbole:



God Bless the US Postal Service and Red Plum mass mailing services. I am going to save the actual conversation I had with the Postal Service worker for another postcard.

Postcard #54: Meemaw

Sent on Postcrossing to Ann2005a

There are no pictures of me with Mee-maw. Mother was very cross with me. She said I was being very bad. Because I cried when she wanted me to stand with grandma while the man took our picture. I held her hand. But it was cold and did not feel right she was sleeping but not sleeping. She was standing like she would in the kitchen. Sometimes I would sneak out of bed at night for ice cream and I would see her in the kitchen staring out the window over the sink. Quiet. Looking out into the darkness of her yard. Just like back then I did not want to wake her, I did not want to find to find me awake and out of bed. Her eyes open but not seeing. Her hand open but not wanting. She is still staring out her window but she can see what she was looking for finally because her eyes don't move.
