Said she recently received hers from me so the postal service must be overwhelmed like everyone else. I only received half of my postcards but that is fine. I would love to decorate my entrance with the postcards but I shall wait. Your bounty is a colorful array of good cheer.

Each postcard was a ray of sunlight and as you have mentioned brought smiles. Thank you for sharing your postcards; I was able to see and read some that I didn't receive. Thank you for sharing your poem about all the people it takes for us to receive those beautiful postcards. My father was a postal carrier; I remember him mentioning a few mean dogs and trying not to fall on ice, but he also mentioned all the smiles people gave him for delivering their mail.Gail Aldoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444221924693333224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-44526489536988097802022-02-07T20:06:28.420-07:002022-02-07T20:06:28.420-07:00Oh, Linda, this whole post made me so happy.❤️Oh, Linda, this whole post made me so happy.❤️Karen Edmisten https://www.blogger.com/profile/04446214835142625161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-41371808412830826192022-02-06T22:45:27.000-07:002022-02-06T22:45:27.000-07:00I love how your poem takes us on the journey that ...I love how your poem takes us on the journey that the wonderful poetic postcards have taken in order to reach you.
