POSTCARD Day

I try to keep in touch with my 5 grandchildren as we travel. The easiest way is to send them postcards. They get to see interesting places which perhaps will spark their imagination and a desire to travel and discover places that are different yet also similar to home in many respects. I get to add short, sometimes snarky comments to tease their minds. They get to experience the old-time thrill of waiting for and receiving mail that you actually WANT! Not the junk that fills so much of our mailbox on a typical day. 

I had not shopped for cards yet, so I drew my own based on things that had caught my eye as I drove the past few days. 

• Cottonwood seeds choking the breeze
• Town Hall Towers and Fortresses
• Hobbit House sprinkled with a confetti of flowers in bloom
• Van assistance credit for Dan
• Red Shouldered Blackbirds every hundred yards for miles
• Baby Leisa’s wild horse ride remembered
