Grace1927

Hello and thank you in advance for the postcard you have chosen for me. I am living a wonderful retired life, filled with hobbies I enjoy, Postcrossing being one of them. I look forward to receiving your postcard in the mail.

I am married, have 3 daughters and 5 grandchildren (ages 16-20). I am retired as of September, 2016. My hobbies are reading, sewing, embroidery, jigsaw puzzles, scrapbooking, quilting, travelling by car. I many times have several different projects going at the same time. I live in the beautiful state of Wisconsin, in what is generally termed as the "Midwest" in the United States.

My avatar is my own photograph of the Diamond Ring phase of a solar eclipse. I took this photograph on August 21, 2017 in the state of Nebraska in the U.S.A. It was the most glorious thing I have ever seen!

It is now December and the Holiday Season. I would love to receive a Christmas postcard from you!

Here are some of my favorites if you need other ideas:
1. Volcanoes! I have loved Volcanoes since I was 10 years old and learned about Mt. Vesuvius. So, if you are in Italy, send me a postcard from Vesuvius or Pompeii. If you are in Japan, send me Mt. Fuji. If you are in Indonesia, send me any of yours. If you are in Hawaii, send me Kilauea. If you have a volcano in your country, send it to me!
2. Do you have royalty in your country or in your history? If yes, please send postcard! If from Russia, please send of Czar Nicholas II and his family, if from Great Britain, please send of Queen Elizabeth, her family, and of Diana.
3. State/province/country map.
4. Architecture/Buildings unique to your country or area.
5. Travel spots in your area.
6. Olympics! Winter or Summer.
7. Anything Sewing or Embroidery.
8. Christmas Cards in November and December.
9. Official Postcrossing, Meet-up cards or World Postcrossing Day.
10. Lantern Press postcards
11. Castles and Palaces, especially European castles, especially the chateaux of the Loire in France.
12. Umbrellas!

No worries if you don't have any of my favorites! Send me something you would like to receive from a friend. After all, Postcrossing is a circle of friends sending warm greetings to one another.

Please also write a message and tell me something about yourself or your city or country. Add the date that you wrote it.

I would prefer not to receive postcards relating to children, animals, military or the occult.

Thank you in advance for sending your postcard. I look forward to making many new friends around the world.
