Friend Kelly sent this postcard that she wrote while waiting at “the very crowded gate at (EW!) Ronald Regan Airport.”
She said the MLK monument was awesome, as was seeing her college roommate.

SKS: Very Pretty Postcard from Paris via Arcata
I love so much about this postcard. It’s sparkly, but not in a glitter way. It has cute drawings. It does the A to Z thing. So delightful!
Sara reports that it’s week 3 of the semester. How time flies.
SKS: Postcard from Ashland
Sara and Shawn snuck away for the weekend to take in the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. They watched both Much Ado About Nothing and Macbeth. They enjoyed both and also rallied through the 100-degree weather.
SKS: Buttons with Circuit Designs
The postcard says these are promotional buttons, but what would they be promoting?
Sara reports that she is off to meet her new students. Summer Sara has left the building.
SKS: Beeeee Yourself
Sara added some friendly ice cream stickers to this bee-and-flower covered card.
Sara says that the stickers on the front and the back are her “I’m not going to buy anymore stickers” stickers. She found them at a grocery store.
Mail from a Future Friend
Mail came today addressed to a future friend. Though I can see that it was sent from Dallas, this friend did not include a return address. How will I find my future friend?
Ah, but it’s just proselytizing. I think my future friend won’t want to be my friend if I don’t come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
What do you want to bet the “false religion” the mother was practicing was Catholicism?
I do love a friendly letter that ends in a scary quote from Revelation.
But! I love these booklets. I used to come across them on a fairly regular basis at bus stops and the like, but it’s been some times since I’ve gotten to read one.
SKS: Priest Lake
Sara is back in Northern Idaho, and she sends a hello from Priest Lake, where her family went for a scenic drive and dip in the lake.
Northern Idaho has some good lake action.
SKS: From the Schultz Museum and Research Center
Because I now go by my full name and not the nickname, it’s been a few decades since someone called me Peppermint Patty in jest. I had forgotten they did that.
Sara and Shawn visited the museum and the ice rink Charles Shultz built.
Here’s the workspace from whence Peanuts sprang.
Sara liked seeing the books on the shelves. She reported there were a lot of art-focused texts and classics.
SKS: Design Gallery and Cats
This one is from the Laura Vincent Design & Gallery on NW Davis in Portland, and Sara writes that she can’t remember where it came from. Maybe from Shawn?
From this card I learned that Sara, Shawn, and I watched the movie Thelma on the same weekend.
This card is from Bibliophile Postcards. It would be nice if they also identified the bookstore. I don’t see Fup.
Sara has watched Bridgerton!
SKS: Graphic-Type Buttons
This postcard documents different buttons. Most of the descriptions say “date unknown.” But one of them, 321.8, is from the American Library Association.
I recognized 321.8 as a Dewy Decimal System number and looked it up.
According to LibraryThing, 321.8 is Democratic Government (formerly Republic).
The list of selected works is interesting:
What was the American Library Association getting at?
Sara reports that it’s quite good to be home, and especially nice to see the cats.
