SKS from PDX (mailed by me)

While we visited the Bliss House, Sara grabbed this informational postcard, which she then gussied up and put in a multifamily mailbox down the street from us along with a birthday card for her sister.

However, that building isn’t yet occupied and when I checked, the lock hadn’t been installed in the outgoing mail slot. I assumed that the mail carrier wasn’t regularly picking up the mail.

So I grabbed both letter and postcard and put then in the mail on the way to my job club. I did not read the postcard before I sent it.

Once it was delivered, I read that Sara thanked me for hosting such a good visit.

SKS: Idaho: The Sportsmen’s Paradise

As I type the postcard’s words into the title, I see that an apostrophe has gone missing from the card.

Sara calls out the same thing that was my first thought: only sportsMEN?

Sara has gone back to Coeur d’Alene because her father died, and so this Idaho postcard comes to me. She said that the weather was chilly enough to have a fire and for her sister to make potato leek soup, both nice things.

SKS Blood Bank Klamath River Reflections

Another fun postcard from the Northern California Blood Bank, complete with post office additional ink.

Sara reports that she is back home and happy to be there, though frustrated with the campus closing due to protests. Her graduating class was mostly made up of the group that had their senior year hijacked by Covid, so they were having flashbacks.

SKS: Colorado Postcards

Sara sent these two postcards from the conference she attended. She said she had a good final session that was the perfect closing.

She reported that this postcard was offered at the resort in lieu of an image of the resort itself, which was funny.

I know from text messages that the resort used some selective photo taking in their marketing materials.

The Duchess of Devonshire

Zoe sent me this delightful postcard to make up for not sending me postcards from Texas and Mexico City, where she and Nick visited in December.

She said that they saw the pyramids of Teotihuacan both via hot air balloon and via the ground.

She also let me know that she and Nick decided to get engaged and thanked me for “modeling the long leadup (lol)”

I wondered if this particular duchess was one of the Mitford sisters. Indeed, that was Deborah.
