Postal surprise!

 I joined a group called Postcrossing, where you send and receive postcards from around the world.  They gave me an address to start, and I sent one to Germany.  The way it works, when you start, you have to send one, to receive one.  

Well, I sent the one, got busy, and forgot about the 'receive' part. Until Husband walked in from getting the mail, and there is a cute postcard of a kitty... From Brazil!  

The note was sweet, told me about her kitty, and she and I share some hobbies (knitting!!), so I sent her a quick note that I received her card, (required for the group to know it got there), and then sent a message telling her I would be happy to correspond.  

So. 

Now that I know it works, and it takes a bit to get from Brazil to Oregon, I need to get more post cards, and see if I can get any mail from other far flung from me spots! 

Looking through the different countries and areas they have people at participating, it should be fun!

(Heck, I'd be happy if it was even a different city here, or a different state, just fun to get mail!)

It is fun to get mail! I need to remember that and send more.
