Response: You're welcome, Anzhela! At least we have the moon landing ones to look forward to.

Response: You're welcome! Glad you like the Erick Sahler card. Best Wishes for summer!
Response: You're welcome--glad you liked it!

Response: You're welcome! The pc meet-up was lots of fun, about 30 people in all.
Response: You're welcome--Glad you liked it!
Response: So glad you liked the card. Hope you stay dry and safe!
Response: So glad you liked it! Same to you!
Response: Glad you like it! Yes, too I love that "free stuff" feeling when finding free cards :)
Response: You're welcome! Yes, it's one of those rare sets where there's not a bad card in the bunch :) Best Wishes!
Response: So glad that Ms. Kelly & Mr Stewart found a good home! Hope you're having a good week--just a few more days till my short holiday!
Response: Oh, a pear-colada sounds terrific! Actually, just about anything really cold. Glad you liked it!
Response: Yes, I'm not sure which of them should have noticed first. The barber, maybe?
Response: You're welcome! I had to do the same here with those stamps--too bad the eclipse isn't during the winter :)
Response: So glad you liked it! Bowie is not far from here. It was way too hot for a while, but now it's perfect for a few days, and it will be cool/rainy starting tomorrow, so we have a little of everything :)
Response: You're welcome--Glad you liked it!
Response: No worries--glad you liked it!
Response: Glad you liked the card! And I'm envious that you got to see Suede--I never have. I was actually surprised when they started making records again how much I ended up liking their new stuff. Who'd have guessed they'd age so well? Definitely give them a listen if you get a chance.
Response: Hey! So glad you enjoyed the card. Those stamps are some of my favorites too--there are so many ways to get to 49 cents for these big cards. The Alcoholism stamp was part of a grab bag, and I figured when else will I want to use that. Don't know where the best bet would be for a Brandy Alexander (when I was there long ago, I could imagine the Ivar's location I went to having one), but I'm sure there are many Seattle bartenders up to the task!
Response: You're welcome--glad you liked it! And now it sounds like we may finally have a chance for some snow this weekend after our non-winter...
Response: You're welcome! We've got some more warm weather this week, but the weekend may require some hot drinks. Have a great day!
Response: Hi Analise! Yes, I think they're definitely an acquired taste--I've seen them called the best band in the world and also the worst band in the world :) Glad you liked the Alice card--I love that set.
Response: You're welcome! And good luck with the flowerbed! Our (well, my wife's) daffodils were in bloom on February 20 this year--I think that's a record for us.
Response: No problem! I didn't get Irony of Fate to work on our tv, and I didn't feel like watching it on the computer, so maybe next year... I hope your move went well and that you're having a good 2017 so far!
Response: Glad you liked it! I should listen to more of the Shins--I've liked what I've heard.
Response: So glad you liked it!
Response: You're welcome! And words to live by in that postmark. Hope you're having a great 2017!
Response: LOL--No worries, I always get more than my "swap's worth" from *one* Nnyla card! Too bad the USPS was so hard on Matilda--I liked that one. If I get to reading Dahl soon, it will be a case of being drawn in by the pictures, which is, I guess, the way it works with (younger) kids too. Happy weekend to you too!
Response: You're welcome! Well, I'm afraid biking weather is over for a while (at least for me)--we may finally get a little snow tomorrow.
Response: You're welcome and Happy New Year! That's funny--I've heard the same reactions, with my Russian friend saying we should be thankful we'll at least get to vote again in 4 years. Cold comfort!
Response: You're welcome! Glad you liked it. I'll look forward to getting your/my card back (I'd almost forgotten about that part). I'll let you know when yours arrives. Happy New Year! It's about time for a new one...
Response: Glad you liked it! Yes, I think everyone's busy for the holidays. Let me know if you switch the swap, and I'll ask to join that group. Happy Holidays to you too!
Response: You're welcome--I'm glad you like it! The pen I normally use is a Uniball 207 "ultra micro" (0.38 mm). My pen ran out on your card, and I started a new one, so that's why the text gets darker :) It's interesting to me when the stamps can help to tell a story. Best Wishes for the holidays and new year ahead!
Response: You're welcome--Glad you liked it!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! Glad you liked it/them.
Response: Glad you like it! You're welcome.

Response: You're welcome--glad you like it! Jigsaw next time :)
Response: You're welcome! Glad to unload that Steelers stamp--wouldn't wan to be caught with it in Ravens/Redskins territory :)
Response: You're welcome! See you on GoodReads!
Response: You're welcome, and thanks for the info! We stopped at the West Side Market last time we visited and liked that a lot as well as the Hungarian bakery over that way. Maybe we'll give Little Italy a try this time.
Response: Hey Nathan--You're welcome! Glad you liked it. I'll have to look for that hard cider, since my wife enjoys ciders more than IPA. Still, I do enjoy the Sierra Nevada Torpedo sometimes and also some local ones.
Response: Well, that worked out nicely :) So glad you enjoyed the Metropolis card. Cool and rainy weather sounds amazing to me now, but I'll settle for a hot walk to/from the nearby Mexican restaurant and a frozen margarita followed by movies in our perpetually cool basement. Best Wishes!
Response: Glad you liked it! Have a great weekend.
Response: You're welcome! We're having a hot week but probably nothing like it is there--hope you're staying cool!

Response: I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks for you nice comment!
Response: Glad you liked it! I can totally see how one might avoid The Burg--last time we were there, the construction/traffic was so confusing, it took us a while to leave.

Response: Yay--I'm glad you like it!
Response: You're welcome--glad you liked it!

Response: Hi Cynthia--Glad you liked it! Yes, I'm hoping we can make a restaurant road trip soon...
Response: Hope you enjoy some antiquing this summer! The walks sound like lots of fun.
Response: You're welcome! I hope the physical goes well too--the O's definitely need the pitching help. May your 15 games be good ones!
Response: Glad you liked it! I remember seeing the street sellers there when I was a boy in the 70s. Guess that's why it's the Eternal City.
Response: You're welcome--I'm glad you liked the card! I read The Little Prince long ago, but I think it's time for me to read it again. Have a great week!
Response: You're welcome! and thank you for your kind comments and swap idea!

Response: You're welcome--Glad you liked it!
Response: You're welcome--glad you liked it! We have one day of spring today but then it's supposed to turn cold again...
Response: You're welcome, neighbor! Glad it's starting to feel a little more springlike--I can almost imagine the cherry blossoms now. I get most of my stamps on eBay, usually for less than face value. Glad you liked them!

Response: You're welcome--Glad you liked it! I guess there's always something to learn from these postcards.

Response: You're welcome! Glad I sent you a new one.
Response: Hi Paige--Glad you liked it! Sadly missed the film festival because my computer died and I had to work. Oh well, got to visit a nearby plantation house and putter round the house.
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! You're welcome!
Response: I'm glad you liked the card! My wife has had Bink for many years, so I'm just a "stepfather"; it's short for "Binkie," which is often a nickname for a child's pacifier, so I don't know how she got the name. It's interesting that "Bink" means "tough"--I think our Bink had an easy start in life : )
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it. I think the Amish have an annual quilt auction.
Response: You're welcome! Sadly, my computer died and kept us from going to the film festival. Still, we had an okay lazy weekend here.
Response: You're welcome! It took me several years to kill the irises growing at my old house, so maybe they're not too very hard to grow? Not that I've tried, but they are pretty!
Response: You're welcome! It's hard to believe I haven't yet made it to the Library of Congress. Looking forward to it though. You're right--there aren't too many of us SB males!

Response: You're welcome! So glad you liked them!
Response: Hey, tell him to get his own stamps! So glad you liked it--I'll let her know!

Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad you like it! I enjoyed sending Greta Garbo back to her homeland, at least in postcard form.
Response: Yes, I'm not really a phone person, but I do find myself checking e-mail etc. with my iPod Touch, which is probably just about as annoying to people around me. Oh well, at least I can get out of wi-fi range occasionally!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. The packaging was so summery, I felt compelled to get that beer.
Response: You're welcome! It's a challenge, but at least I know there's the following week to look forward to (unless someone comes in and buys everything!).

Response: Hi Ksenia--Glad you liked the cards! I still haven't read Fox in Socks, but I'm guessing it's never to late. So far so good in the new house...
Response: Glad you liked it! I knew that postcard set would come in handy.
Response: You're very welcome, and hi back to Noora!
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed them. That's interesting that they got separated--glad they arrived in order, at least! And I think you're spot on about the blank book quandary!
Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed them. A great weekend to you too!
Response: Glad you like them! Thanks for the rating.
Response: You're welcome! I don't mind the globe stamps, but it's more fun to use the others. Glad you liked them.
Response: Hi Ann! Glad you liked the card (and didn't have it)! Charlotte Hall is actually named after a former school/military academy (now, fittingly, a VA Home). From Wikipedia: "established as Charlotte Hall School in 1774 by Queen Charlotte to provide for the liberal and pious education of youth to better fit them for the discharge of their duties for the British Empire. It is [was?] the oldest educational institution in the United States, fully accredited by the Maryland State Department of Education."

Response: You're welcome! So glad you liked that one, one of my favorites.
Response: You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. That Patsy Cline stamp was part of a country music series that came out years ago--I'm always getting lots of old stamps from eBay and was confident that Patsy would find a home.
Response: You're welcome! I think that just means you have a good profile. Yes, it was a long drive! but it was good to see family.
Response: So glad you liked that one! Thanks for the rating.
Response: Glad you liked the B&W PCs!
Response: So glad you liked it! And yes, that box is a great one--most of the drawings don't have as much text/labeling incorporated, but I'm sure you'll like it.
Response: You're welcome, Cindy! I can't even remember which card I sent, which is a little scary.
Response: Glad you liked it/her/them! I'll be in touch!
Response: I think you're right--I wouldn't mind taking a vacation there myself!
Response: You're welcome--Glad you liked it!
Response: Glad you liked the card! I really enjoyed Bermuda, but I think it is a little pricey--I was only there a few days though and slept/ate on a ship, which helped! I mostly just walked around and shopped a little. It's really pretty.

Response: You're welcome--Glad you liked it!

Response: Hi Judee--You're welcome! I do think it would be fun to read at least a little bit of the circus book.
Response: Thanks, and you're welcome!
Response: I'm so glad you and your daughter both got to enjoy the card. Rainy here today and turning cooler tomorrow, I think. I'm in no hurry for summer though.
Response: So glad you enjoyed the cards--a summer of Tennyson and butterflies sounds pretty terrific!
Response: You're welcome, and thank you! I do look forward to the move but just had to mow the grass in April for the first time since I don't know when.

Response: You're welcome--I'm glad you liked it!
Response: You're welcome! Glad you liked it.
Response: You're welcome! And to think I'm not so very far from Baltimore, home of the original rockets' red glare...
Response: You're welcome, and thank you!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome! I try to slow down when writing the postcards--otherwise, they'd be pretty hard to read!

Response: You're welcome--glad you liked it!
Response: So glad you liked it! I remembered afterwards that I don't think I included the name of a favorite book, which changes often. Growing up, it was Lord of the Rings and later Great Expectations. I love that Little Women stamp as well. It does finally feel like spring here.
Response: You're welcome--glad you liked it!
Response: You're welcome! Glad you liked it.
Response: So glad you liked it! It's a good thing I didn't give up candy for Lent. Once I get moved, there may be surprises headed your way...

Response: You're welcome--glad that card made it to you so fast!
Response: Glad you liked the card and that the stamps made it to you uncancelled--I think there's strength in numbers! A cubicle gallery sounds like a splendid idea.

Response: You're welcome--Glad you liked it!
Response: Hi Émilie--I'm so glad you liked the card--I was happy about the way the stamps worked out. Hope you had a good trip. I like a mix of the Quebec music--Les Hou-Lops, Jenny Rock, Les Beatlettes, a few of the early songs by Renee Martel, lots of artists with only one or two songs. Does anyone else listen to this? I wonder. I'll have to check out Dënver tomorrow--one advantage of working at home! Best springtime wishes to you!
Response: Whew, glad I'm off the hook! D'oh, their autographs! Now why didn't I think of that?
Response: Hi Vicky! Glad you got a kick out of that one. All Best to you!
Response: Glad you liked it! Hope you're having a good week too. Feels like it should be Thursday today.

Response: You're welcome--glad you liked it!
Response: You're welcome! Yes, we had our little snow for our house closing yesterday. More like a Scandinavian spring than a Roman one, I guess.
Response: You're welcome and thanks!
Response: You're welcome! Glad you liked it.
Response: I'm so glad you liked that one--I have another by him like that I can send your way sometime if you like. We've been having an on again off again spring. We've successfully hunted the house. Now to move again!
Response: Hi Vicky! Glad you liked it! Just finished buying the house but, unfortunately, not paying for it! Got another inch of snow last night.
Response: You're welcome--I'm so glad you liked it! I would have loved to have seen Tiger Stadium I have fond memories of Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, but Camden Yards is really nice, so I didn't feel too sad about the change. Sounds like your Tigers will have another good year!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it--Annapolis has done a great job preserving the character of their streets downtown.
Response: You're welcome! I'll have to check out the blog/show.
Response: You're welcome--Glad you liked it! There's another plantation house nearby I want to visit soon.
Response: You're welcome--I'm glad you liked it! That's one of my favorite stamp themes.
Response: I'm so glad you liked the card/stamps! It's funny--I did plan the stamps for you, but the Conestoga wagon connection was just a coincidence, because I just wanted a 3-center. Thanks for the extra virtual hearts!
Response: That's funny--I thought I sent them in the opposite order. Oh well, glad they arrived on different days and that you liked them! I've been having instant coffee with cream and maple syrup in the mornings, but I don't think I look as happy as the postcard woman.
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it/them.
Response: You're welcome--glad you liked it. We'll be "between houses" for a while, but that's all right.
Response: You're welcome! Sounds like you're much more organized than I am!
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad the timing worked out--a day without mail would be so sad!

Response: Glad you liked it! Thanks for the rating. Always nice to use those Olympics stamps.
Response: You're welcome! So glad you liked it.

Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the rating.
Response: You're welcome! I hope it turns out if you try it!
Response: You're welcome! We just had 5 inches of snow here, but I won't complain about the weather till the hot/humid summer.

Response: You're welcome--so glad you liked it! There's always something to see in NYC and I look forward to that energy again.
Response: Excellent! You're welcome, and I'm so glad you liked it. Just hoping that my father-in-law doesn't try to catnap our third cat!
Response: You're welcome! I lose track sometimes of which cards are "usual"--thanks for the rating.
Response: Happy St. Patrick's Day to you! Your time in Connemara sounds pretty wonderful. Yes, I have tried Bailey's and like it in my Irish coffee--or is that heretical? Sounds like yours may be sweet enough without.
Response: You're welcome! Didn't find anything at the flea market (it was mostly furniture), but that's probably for the best!
Response: Glad you liked it! I was just in Brattleboro, VT, for 12 years, but I did live in NH for 8 months before that (Manchester). No plans for MN yet, but never say never! Yep, Boog Powell has a barbeque place at Camden Yards. Best of luck to the Twins this year (except when they're playing the O's!).
Response: Glad you liked it! And that the card made it to you!
Response: You're welcome! I always enjoy the stamps on your cards!

Response: You're welcome--we did! Thanks for the rating.
Response: Excellent! I'm so glad you liked that card and the stamps--I think sometimes that using a lot of stamps gives them a sort of safety in numbers when it comes to being postmarked. Glad we seem to have missed out on the latest round of frozen stuff.
Response: Glad you liked it! I try to mix it up a little. Thanks for the rating.
Response: Hi Marci--Glad you liked it! I definitely sympathize about the stamps! (Wait a minute...I didn't buy them all?)
Response: Thanks! And when you and your husband go on HGTV, don't fall for it when that woman asks you, "So, how much do you think homes in this neighborhood go for?" and you're supposed to answer something like "I don't know...Fifty thousand dollars?"
Response: You're welcome! You're right--that cat does look very proud. Of course, if I were a cat mail carrier, I'd probably be pretty proud of myself too!
Response: You're welcome! Glad you liked it/them. Thanks for the rating.
Response: You're welcome! You're right about the snow in VT. Still, the only thing I disliked about Vermont weather was that the summer was too warm, so I'm not looking forward to my Maryland summer!
Response: Glad you liked it, Lou! Can't go wrong with the cats!
Response: So far so good over here, now that the snow's over. Makes me glad I work at home, except that I don't get snow days. Sounds like quite a day over there, but at least you have some good ideas for fixing it!
Response: Always a pleasure, madam! Glad you liked the card--it's fun to imagine oneself at that tea room. Glad you liked the stamps too--I still have to read/watch HP someday!

Response: You're welcome! I like those Golden Books too, but for some reason it was Ladybird Books in our area when I was little and we lived abroad. When in Rome... Hope your ladybugs get the message!

Response: I always find it hard to root against the Rays just because they have so much less money than most of the other teams, and I see that they live another day. Happy fall/winter!

Response: Glad you liked it. I think "collect" might be too strong a word, but I have accumulated some foreign stamps and did formally collect them/put them into an album in former days.

Response: You're welcome--so glad you liked it!
Response: Thanks so much, Barbara!
Response: Glad you liked it! I enjoyed having a whole side of the card for stamps/address and another side for the message for a change.

Response: You're welcome! Glad you liked it.
Response: Thanks for the rating! Most of the silent films I've seen on the big screen in the last few years have been at the annual Capitolfest festival in Rome, New York, August of each year.

Response: You're welcome. Glad you liked them! It's great that you got them all so fast.

Response: Yay, glad you liked it! I see, though, that I'll have to get out of this "postcard with thematically matching stamp(s)" phase, or I'll drive myself crazy.
Response: Wow, you're so welcome! Reading the profiles is half the fun (well, in your case, maybe three-quarters (ha, ha!)). I enjoy the postcard swaps and am afraid if I try anything more elaborate, I may have to quit my day job.
Response: Well said--glad you liked it.
Response: Yay! Glad you like it.
Response: You're welcome--glad you liked it!
Response: You're welcome!
