I haven't received my postcard yet, boo hoo :( I hope that it is just delayed in the mail by the ash, just like the other mail that I'm waiting for. Instead I got an RFE because the UK doesn't explain that Embassies apply for NZ police certificates not the beneficiary. Oh well, I am now resigned to this process sucking even more than it already did.

I got a postcard today from Rochester, NY! Thanks Pauley and Yvonne!! :D

Welcomez! :D

Incidentally, the note I put on there about Rochester's shortest snow season ever is now no longer true. Rochester had no snow measurable snow at all in November '09, March '10 and the first few weeks of April '10, and we'd thought we had a new city record, until we got .2" of snow Tuesday morning. Our record 90-day snow season just got lengthened to 148, and is now substantially less interesting. :P

I think it's just too confusing to try to track who sent what to who. lol Though it's kind of fun to know. I have a list somewhere but I can't find it now (I could always go through my emails and msgs if anyone really wants to see a full list of who sent what to who where when why... lol). Either way, everyone please feel free to tell us all when you get your cards. :) Msg me if you want me to explain how to post a pic on VJ.

Everyone is automatically signed up for the May draw unless they have told me that they only want to participate once or twice.

If everyone is ready I can do the draw for May tomorrow! :thumbs:

I was thinking May's theme could be flowers. April showers bring May Flowers... Mayflower, Mother's day.. etc etc.

So there ya go. May = Flowers. lol I'm also thinking we could just have one theme over all, and you can either send a postcard with the theme on it as a pic, or write something about it on the back. I'm realizing it's a bit too hard for people to find postcards at all, let alone ones with themes. lol :)

I have to double check as there are a couple of new people who've shown interest, but I'm not sure I have all the info.

Ashen can you leave me out this month. Daughter is getting her tonsils out, it's going to be kind of crazy for me. Will be good to participate in June.

I never did hear if my recipient received their card or not - although they did have a LOT of things going on in their lives this month so it may have been one of the easy things to overlook. I hope they got it - it was of a Georgia dogwood tree in full bloom.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Ah! I still haven't mailed my card out. Tomorrow. With starting this new job and everything else going on now, my mind is in a million different places.

Count me out this month Ashen, unless the person wants to get the postcard a month late :hehe:
