My favorite was the year I got one about Pompeii and we study ancient history in 6th grade. Love the rhythm in Braden's line: "I'd snap catch and eat."

Your card was delightful and how nicely it connects with your lake story. I have never been that close to a large turtle so thanks for telling me about the toe-nipping tendency. (I am planning on showcasing my postcard poem that I received this weekend.) Have a great weekend.
