This is from Aubrey who passed along this quote: “Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.” Francis Bacon.

Postcard from the Netherlands
This is from Eke who tells me her favorite quote is “Life is what happened to you while you made other plans.”
And this card just launches me into “Everyone’s a Hero” from Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog.
Postcard from the Ukraine
“Hello from Ukraine!
“Happy New Year and Christmas!!! On this card you can see a part of our history of cartoons. You can find it on youtube (for example) ‘How cossacks’. I hope it’ll be interesting for you.”
Then some cyrillic and the translation: “A faithful friend is the greatest treasure.”
Thanks Larisa!
Postcard from Virginia
Another nice postcard from one half of Pike Schemes was waiting for me when I came home from my early release day. It was accompnied by a letter too!
Postcard from Minnesota
This is from Elizabeth, who reports that, “today the weather is sunny and 11.8 degrees F”
Postcard from Germany
In your Postcrossing profile you can say what you like and I mention that I collect quotes and ask people to send me their favorite. So sometimes I get quotes written on the cards by the senders and sometimes people send me postcards with quotes on them. This is from Anne who is a retired teacher and is collecting quotes from all over the world. So we have that in common. She translates this as, “Each day is a new beginning.”
Postcard from Russia
Podolsk, Russia, to be exact. Andrey and Tana love to travel and take pictures.
This postcard is the exact reason I love Postcrossing. What the hell is that? It’s apparently called the Checkerboard Hill (Dragon Hill). Whatever it is, it is made of awesome.
Postcards from Germany & Virginia
This lovely Christmas postcard arrived from Germany with best wishes for the new year.
And this nice sentiment came from Virginia containing thanks for a gift.

Not such a great Postcrossing month on the receiving end…
|
I love how the Postcrossing people not only facilitate the sending and receiving of postcards around the world, but they also enjoy stats as much as me. Sadly, these stats show it was a dry month for receiving postcards. Oh well, I guess more will come in January.
