"It was a blessing and also a curse of handwritten letters that, unlike email, you can't obsessively reread what you've written after you'd sent it. You can't attempt to unsend it. Once you'd sent it, it was gone. It was an object that no longer belonged to you, but belonged to your recipient to do what he would. You tended to remember the feeling of what you'd said more than the words. You gave the object away, and left yourself with the memory. That was what it was to give."

My name is Maureen and I live with my fiance Gauvin. We have three cats (Binx, Neville and Seymour) and one Jack Russell puppy (Remus) who keep us very busy. I've been doing Postcrossing for several years, but he is new to the whole process and very excited. When you send us a card we'd like for you to tell us what you're doing at that time. Gauvin appreciates local or historical postcards while I enjoy art and photography.

Happy Postcrossing!

*Please don't ask me to register postcards that I haven't received. I'm very prompt with registering them as soon as I receive them so if I haven't registered it then we can all assume it's lost in the great postcard abyss.

**As far as direct swaps go, I've gotten the short end of the stick too many times. I've filled several requests for people and I've yet to get anything I was promised in return. I think I've learned my lesson.
