My husband and I love being retired. We have 5 adult children and 3 grandchildren

We moved from New York to Connecticut where we are surrounded by 400 acres of forest preserves. Were close to the Long Island Sound with a great boardwalk and ocean beaches within a half hour's drive. We love to travel and our first trip to Europe will be to Italy when safe travel reopens.

I LOVE:
Xmas cards - anytime from October through December
Estate sales, thrift & consignment stores..
Walking the beach looking for beach glass & heart shaped rocks. I love rock crystals as well

Poland: My maiden name is "Pulaski." I've never been to Poland & I don't speak Polish but my grandparents emigrated from Poland in the early 1900's. I'd love postcards showing the Pulaski name because I understand it's a common Polish last name. Thank you.

I don't mind if you use an envelope & I love a variety of stamps.
I do not scan my postcards.
