I am not going to be an enforcer. If someone else wants to implement a 3-strikes rule, that's fine, but I won't do it. It IS supposed to be a fun exchange, and I'm sorry some people have not sent ca

Hi Everyone,

So I finally got a chance to check my mailbox today....

(as I haven't been able to check the mail for the last few days, since we had stormy/bad weather and the creek and country roads were flooded over...)

Anyways, amongst four days worth of mail.....In the middle of the pile.....

To my surprise, I find a "replacement June postcard" from Kathryn41! :star:

Thank you Kathryn, for the replacement postcard...... :)

It sure made me smile to receive such... :D

Honsstly, you didn't have to go through the extra trouble to send such, since it's not your responsibilty to send such when someone else is supposed to be responsible for that lost postcard....

Aww....Thanks anyways....I really do appreciate that extra effort you did here...:thumbs:

It was a postcard with scenes of Atlanta, GA...

-Peaches, the Baseball Stadium, Buildings (I wonder what they are...?), White flowers, etc...

And a message on the back....

Thanks...:)

Ant

P.S. Onwards towards the August exchange! I'm in! Happy postcarding everyone! :)

JlovesA-Hope you are doing well and settling down with your move and that you are happier now that you are closer to A. Understandable that moving can be super busy, so don't worry about the postcard being late. "Better late than never", as I like to say too. Thanks again for sending out the July card. I'm looking forward to receiving such soon (I'm guessing I'll get it by this week if you are sending it from ON, and yes, I'll let you know as soon as I get it). Definitely time for me to go bike riding to the mailbox again...:)
