She has been a member for 8 months (243 days).It's officially summer! And getting hot and humid as usual here, esp. after thunderstorms. We've had a lot of rain and the rivers are at flood stages...but not so bad as in Iowa! It is also Independence Day...or will be (tomorrow, since this is July 3) on 4th of July. A holiday of course! Fireworks and lots of barbeque.
I love postcards all kinds esp. travel, scenic and art. I am 57. I am a member of the Gateway Postcard club in St. Louis (Gateway for 'gateway to the west', which St. Louis used to be in pioneer days) and heard about this site in their newsletter. I also work for the US postal service, and whenever I travel I always make a point of knowing where the postoffices are and visiting them, esp. if they have interesting buildings. In San Jose Costa Rica, which I visited in May, they have a beautiful main post office, for example. I like the idea I saw on another user profile of putting a simple sentence of your own language on the postcard you send to me. I am trying to learn spanish. I know a VERY little Farsi. I can read a little bit of Arabic script. I love to send postcards when I travel , not only from my home country.
I am interested in private post card exchanges also. I collect postcards, although I'm not very organized about it. I am amazed at the various things besides postcards postcrossing members exchange! Maybe over time I'll get more the hang of the rest of this :>)
My postcards are at flickr...look in the postcard collection for my postcrossing set and other postcard sets.
