Blueberry Hill

I LOVE this card!

It was sent to me by Mary Ellen Bertram,

who lives in Belleville, Illinois.

Blueberry Hill is a pub & restaurant that is decorated with all

kinds of memorabilia.

Mary Ellen says it's like stepping into the 1950's!

Thank you, Mary Ellen!

Rutalahti

Oskulii, a 13-year-old boy from Finland,

sent me this lovely view of a Finnish

waterfall in Rutalahti, Finland.

I love the colored trees--the picture must have been

taken in Autumn, my favorite season!

Thnak you very much, Oskulii!

Malaysia

I received a picture of a magnificent building

in Malaysia this morning.

Hanis sent me the picture of the Sultan Abdul Samad building.

She said it is a favourite of hers.

I can see why it is!

It has a center clock tower that is 412 meters high, and it

is flanked by two copper-domed towers.

Thanks so much, Hanis!

Sam's Postcard

Well, the postman went by and I didn't get a postcard today....

BUT....

Sam got one!

Today, August 2nd, is his birthday and he

got a birthday postcard in the mail!

Happy Birthday, Sam!

A Dutch Card

This postcard also came from the Netherlands.

It is from Manuela, who is German but lives in the Netherlands

because she is married to a Dutch man.

I really like the postcard, Manuela. Thanks!

Torn, but Nice!

I received this pretty postcard from Anke

in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, it was torn in half

before it reached me,

but I still like the little squirrel statuette

holding his pinecone.

Thank you, Anke!

Empress Hotel in Vancouver, BC

Pattie, from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada,

sent me this picture of the beautiful Empress Hotel which was

built in 1908.

Pattie said she has lived in Victoria all her life

and loves it there because it is pretty the year round.

I would love to see your beautiful city, Pattie! Thank you!
