However...
I had a few folks that sent me postcards from where they lived. I wanted to respond in kind. I knew JUST where to get them, at one of the stores locally.
Wrong. They don't carry them anymore. I should have just grabbed some other cards, but I didn't. I kept looking. And looking. AND LOOKING...
Well, I happened to be in a store that has the bank I use therein. Great! Dash in, grab the funds, go. Then an "OREGON" hat caught my eye. I realized that it had all Oregon gift type stuff. I wandered over for a quick peek.
BINGO! Postcards. I grabbed several, and cheered at my good fortune.
So, as one of my friends is fond of saying, I will get back to you right away, no matter how long it takes!

I have a postcard collection. They used to be more popular than they are now.

Who doesn't love discovering something with their name on it in the mailbox. This is something an e-mail can't compete with.
I love postcards...I forgot to mention that in my "C" entry about collections lol...I have a whole box full.
Isn't it the way sometimes? I had a friend visit from Canada one time and we looked and looked for souvenirs to no avail. I ended up buying some on ebay and mailing to her after she had gone home!
Oooh, I bet thaT was a fun challenge. Awhile ago, the kids and I tried to get a scared from each state...we fell short by about 10-15.
Love that saying! Glad you found those cards; it has amazed me, when we have friends from elsewhere visit, that i have a hard time showing them where to find such stuff, since i never look for it myself.
