This is from Tanja in Austria. She has the most beautiful handwriting I've seen on a postcard and reports that her favorite book is The Hearing Trumpet by Lenora Carrington.
Here is a beautiful postcard from Germany, sent on the day after my birthday, which Hans was kind to note. Hans worked on a ship and has visited many parts of the US.
I was curious to see how many postcards I have received from Germany because it seems like a lot, so I checked my stats. Yep. A lot of postcards from Germany. Double the next two highest numbers.

I really like the stats. I was wondering.
ReplyDeleteBoth of those cards are really beautiful! Especially the one from Germany. Is that Neuschwanstein?
ReplyDeleteMe: squints at back of postcard. Why yes, yes it is. I'm quite impressed.
