Postcard feature: Bird and blade

 A postcard came back from Portland this week!  The artwork is Jesse's; to be honest, I'm not sure what it is, but he's in bed already because we had a very long day yesterday when our car broke down on a mountain road in the middle of nowhere.  Between that and Daylight Savings, the boys needed an early night.  But it looks like a bird and blade to me.  (Does it?  Or is my own exhaustion showing?)



This postcard had a most unusual and interesting note.  The finder wrote:

I found this postcard inside a book my teacher gave me to read.  I'm 64 years old.  I have started school from the 1st grade now I'm @ the end of the 3rd grade.  I have dyslexcia I'm improving my reading please respond when you receive this card.  Thanks  Kenda

We will absolutely be responding!  And here, we'd like to say that no matter your age, learning and growing are good things!

(Note:  We scrambled the area with the address!)

Postcard feature: Let it snow!

Another postcard this week! This one came back to us from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where we left it over a year ago.  The art is Jonno's, and boy, was he excited to have one of his cards come back today!





We've had a long, snowy winter here, but today was springlike.  I'll just say--"Let it snow!" was great a few months ago, but it's not my sentiments today!

The finder writes:

Put in the Lost & found at C d'A Public Library, Children's Dept!  Let's send this on its journey!  Merry Christmas & Happy 2017!

Thank you, kind finder!
