Outgoing Postcrossings

Hello friends. It's been raining most of the day. I hope it ends before 9:00 tonight though because I have an outdoor activity planned with a group of people and if it is still raining it might ruin our plans. My fingers are crossed. I love the rain, but just not tonight, please.

A Postcrossing headed to Singapore.

I write: Hi Jant, it's been raining all day today which feels really good because it has cooled the temperature by at least 20 degrees. I love the rain, especially how it makes the air smell. It freshens evrything up. Have a wonderful day. <3 JarieLyn

This Postcrossing is going to France.

I write: Hi Lena, I also like WWII memorabilia. I like the 1940's in general. It seems like a very classy period in time. Sometimes, I wish the world could go back in time but without the war. Things were so much simpler back then. Have a great day. <3 JarieLyn

This one is traveling to  Switzerland.

I write: Hi Benno, greetings from Las Vegas! I have toured the Loretta Lynn Plantation home twice. The home sits on beautiful, lush, green acreage. The state of Tennessee is gorgeous and I wish to live there one day. Loretta Lynn still lives on this peoperty but in a different house, and hidden from the public. I hope you have a wonderful day. <3 JarieLyn

This card is on the way to Belarus.

I write: Hi Alexandr. I live in the amazing city of Las Vegas. I photographed these guitars while on bacation to Texas. This photograph also won 1st place in a photography competition so I am very proud of it. I don't listen to a lot of new music but my favorite current band is Arctic Monkeys. Other than that, I'm stuck in the 80's. Have a fabulous day and keep playing music. It's good for the soul.

This one is sailing to the Windy City, Chicago, Illinois.

I write: Greetings from Las Vegas! It's been raining most of the day and I love it. It's the kind of day that's perfect for writing letters or coloring in a coloring book. Have a fantastic day! <3 JarieLyn

From Vegas to France

Wow, this day has gone by so fast.  Seriously, it feels like I just got up an hour ago but in reality I've been up for hours and hours. Where does the time go? I managed to finish up a letter that I started a week ago, and it's going out the door today.

This is going to Lisa in France.

Incoming Postcards

Good morning to all. My mind has been elsewhere lately however, I do still love sending and receiving mail and tending to this blog. Here are some of the postcards that I have received recently.

 

This is a Postcrossing from Germany.

The sender writes: The postcard shows a photo of Yves Matringe, a known photograph of France. Regards, Uwe.

 

 

A Postcrossing from Ukraine.

The sender writes: Hello! I'm Khrystyna from Kyiv, Ukraine. There is a lot of news about our country around the world last month but everything is ok for now. :)  Happy Day!

 

 

No matter how many times I flipped this postcard in blogger, it still posted sideways. I give up.

This is a Postcrossing from Europe.

The sender writes: Dear JarieLyn, my greetings! right from the middle of old, good Europe :) In my country is a stone marked as a geographical middle of Europe. :) Have you ever been to our continent? Enjoy the cards! Happy Postcrossing.

 

 

 

This is a Postcrossing from Russia.

The sender writes:  Hello, JarieLyn! Do you prefer to read a book or use a computer? do you think that a book is too heavy to carry? Are you a person from the internet era? Every day, these ideas go through my mind. Happy Postcrossing.

 

 

This is a postcrrossing from Germany.

The sender writes: Hi JarieLyn, many greetings from Germany. I live in the area of Bonn/Cologne and enjoy being outdoors at the lake or in the forest. I like to read books (novels) and do crafting as knitting socks and sewing teddy bears. Take care and God bless you.

 

 

Again with the whole flipping thing. It's normal when I click on it and then it's sideways. I flip it back and when I post it turns again. Ugh!  Does anyone else ever have that problem?

 

This is a Postcrossing from good ol' U. S. of A.

The sender writes: Hi! Happy Postcrossing. I visited Vegas Halloween last year. Was a blast! Sandy.

 

 

Same problem with the direction. The circle is supposed to be at the top.

This is a card from my mother-in-law.

 

 

These are from a Postcard swap on Swap-Bot. All the cards are Florida cards and very nice.

 

Well, it's good Friday. My husband is off work today which is a good thing. We don't celebrate Easter, mainly  because we don't have kids and we are not religious.  I am very spiritual though and I do believe in God and the angels and that we are all connected as one.

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!

Although I acknowledge and believe in what Easter represents, I don't go to church on this day.

I believe in God and a higher power, however, I am not a follower of organized religion.

I have my own relationship with GOD and tIhat's all that matters to me.

I could get into a lengthy discussion about this but I won't because this is a lighthearted blog.

 

So, feast your eyes on some yummy treats of the mail kind.

 

incoming:

 

 

Oops, this first picture isn't mail.

I love this drawing on my postcard and I appreciate the sender doing this.

Oh Happy Days!

Hello my dear peeps.

Monday,  I celebrated my 18 yr. wedding anniversary.

 

Woo Hoo!

Sometimes it's hard to believe we've been married that long.

 

I know this is a mail blog, so I'll get right to it.

This is Saturday's mail and Monday's mail combined.

 

 This is an official postcrossing pc from Canada.
On the back she writes:
Greetings neighbor, thought you would like this sunset postcard from one of my favourite spots-
the sunshine coast.
I visit a number of times per year.
It's beautiful here.
Happy Postcrossing.

Such a lovely Sunset, Thank you.

I love vintage Christmas and I love Santa Claus.

 Another postcrossing card, this one from Christina in the U.S.
She writes, "Hello from NJ. I'm so excited about winter and the holidays.
I wish you good health, unlimited success and happiness in everything you do."

I adore barns.
This is from a swapper through Swap-Bot.
This is a Gratitude pc swap.
In this swap we are assigned 3 partners with whom we share what we are grateful for on a postcard.

This is another card I received from the same swap, different person.

I always find it fascinating to read the thoughts of others.
It's inspiring and sometimes it shifts my paradigm.

A letter from Lucas in Georgia.
I love his envelope so much.
You can't ever go wrong with black and white.
It's pure elegance, class, and sophistication, much like the young man who wrote the letter.

My outgoing mail included two postcards and that's it.

This postcard is going to Angelika in Germany.
I wrote one of my favorite pie recipes on the back for her.

This one is going to Maria in Belarus.

I've written two letters in the past few days but have not sent them out yet.
I still have one more reply to write and then the letters should be on their way to their recipients.

One to Lynn, One to Lucas and still need to write a reply to Kurls.

That's all for now folks.
It's going to be a busy day prepping for Thanksgiving tomorrow.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with your families.

Eat, stay warm and be merry.
