While I love email, I do miss the excitement of opening the mailbox and finding a hand-written letter from someone. My father was a Vietnam vet, deployed three times while I was a teenager. He and my mother wrote letters every single day. Can you imagine that? That is true devotion. No wonder they were married 52 years before she passed away in 1997. In any case, I like to send picture postcards to family and friends, and this evening it occurred to me that you are all friends too. So, I have an idea. What about a picture postcard giveaway?
So, let's see if this works for anybody. If you'd like to receive a picture postcard from Death Valley, just leave me a comment letting me know. I'll draw two names at random and announce the winners just as soon as I get back within range. And if this is something people like, I'll keep doing it at random spots along the way. It's my way of thanking you for your support in reading and following. You are the best!

In my younger years.. oh not that long ago.. before the computer was invented.. LOL.. my husband was in the military, and as a momma, I had a lot to tell him when he was away for 6 months at a time.. I would write him letters, and more letters, and send him packages.. and wait patiently for letters and cute postcards to come for the kids. They came, but the wait was difficult. I have to say, that it was nice to have those letters and postcards still in the kids scrapbooks. However, the email and computer did make it SOOO much nicer for us when he was away, and we could send a letter, and hear from him the very next day... I knew that he was okay.
What a cool idea! We have the postcards my Grandpa sent to my grandma during WWII. I once spent thirty minutes reading aseries of postcards in an antique mall between a man and his wife again during WWII. It made me sad they were discarded and not passed down among family.
We used to collect postcards from all over the world when my children were little. I don't think we have one from our west. So it would be a great addition to our little collection.
I'd love to get a postcard from your trip! I don't know that I'm exactly a collector, but I always ask for a postcard when someone goes on a trip - the CHEESIER, the better!!!
Death Valley is one cool location; we drove down a few years back when it was in spring bloom with yellow and purple Every.Where. Postcards are welcome always--we share them with the Littles we look after. Thanks, Barbara.
Receiving mail has always been my favourite thing in the whole wide world :) I would LOVE that!
I got my lizards in the mail this weekend Barbara!
Hope you're enjoying staying in one place for a few days.
Thanks!
