It was a HUGE postcard week!

If you can believe it, we have received 18 postcards in the last two days!!!!  A few people sent a handful of cards from their countries, that was such a nice surprise!!

The first six are from Cyprus...all from the same woman that sent the picture of the monastery in the previous post!!  She sent a few with cute pictures that Jack would like as well as some scenery from where she lives!





I love all of them!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next one is from Illinois!  Jack and I really liked this one because it has a sock monkey on it...I had one as a small child, and Jack got one from his Grandma for Valentines Day!

Isn't it cute???

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This next one is from Holland...the Netherlands!  I love cows and tulips, so this one is perfect for me!!

Look at those tulips in the background...I am so jealous!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last one from yesterday was from Russia...such a pretty picture!!


They almost look like little blueberries on a pinetree! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, we got 3 from a woman in Australia...totally cute!  They show some of the wildlife where she lives....she told me that she see kangaroos everyday in her yard!!




How can you not love thoses little koala bears!!????


-----------------------------------------------------------------
The next one is from Italy...it's the Basilica di Monte Berico in the Province of Vicenza.  It was built in 1680-1703!



----------------------------------------------------------------------

Next up....Alaska!  What I thought was neat was that we are making Jacks bedroom look like a lodge, with moose and bears...and what shows up today?? 


Looks like this guy is enjoying some lunch!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The other postcard that has to do with Jacks new room is this one from Canada!


Now, what's the chance of getting both a bear postcard and a moose postcard??  I think I am going to frame each of them for Jacks room!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This next postcard is from China...Morning in the countryside in Gui Zhou Province...the houses are built on the mountain side!


------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our last one today came from South Africa!   From the Southern Tip of Africa, the city of George.  George is located right in between the mountains and the sea.  They have a sunny, hot climate with downpours occasionally.  The woman who sent it is a photographer and a grandma to 7!

She included some sentences in her mother tongue:  Afrikaans!
"Dankie vir die lekker gesels" - thanks for the nice chat!
"kom kuier gerus in S.A." - Do come and visit in South Africa!
"ons het pragtige wilde diere en wildspare" - we have beautiful wild life, game and game parks!
"Groete en beste wense aan julle!" - Greetings and best wishes to the two of you!

I liked that she did that!!
