Last night the boys had their 2nd football game of the season. They won! 8-0. They also won their first game last Saturday, 6-0. It's fun to win :)
Have you heard about Postcrossing? You send a postcard out to a random person somewhere in the world and get one back. I had heard about this a few years ago and it sounded fun but I never actually signed up. Somewhere in my blog hops over the past week I saw a blog about the postcards this one blogger had received so I went to Postcrossing and signed up and requested the 5 addresses that a new Postcrosser can get. I then went to Snapfish and made up some postcards of some of my images. The people I have been assigned to send postcards to live in Russia, Belarus, Netherlands, Germany and Taiwan. Once the recipients mark that their postcards have been received, I then get to be on the receiving end of postcards. Doesn't that sound fun?! I love getting real mail in the mailbox!
awesome shot. looks so wonderful there. HAPPY DANCE ... so happy that you got into POSTCROSSING ... love the company ... i have lots of postcards to enjoy from all over the world. can't wait to hear your stories from the cards you get in the mail. fun. fun. fun!! (:
ReplyDeleteLets see the boys go undefeated! The post card idea sounds neat, you will have to keep up updated on how it goes.
ReplyDeletePostcrossing sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteBut I like the blue bench you have photographed and that venus statue behind it.

Such a pretty bench!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of postcrossing before but that sounds like something my 5 year old would really enjoy! He's totally into letters and post cards lately.
ReplyDeleteThey still have postcards? Amazing!
ReplyDeleteAre these actual postcards or do you send them by email?

ReplyDeleteI want to see some of those postcards, too! Sounds like fun!

Nice spot to stop and read.
ReplyDeleteWould love to spend a very long time on that bench. Two feet of books and much, much time.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Friday you all.
I agree with many others....that bench is calling my name to sit and read! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love your picture today. And, the names Woodpecker Ridge and Troutville.
ReplyDeleteYour postcard adventure sounds interesting. Not enough to make me sign up, but still interesting. Hope it works out for you.
Beautiful garden and I like the color of that bench! It's a little different.
ReplyDeleteLove the color of that bench, Tanya...
ReplyDeleteI did Postcrossing for quite awhile, but stopped due to the postage getting to be too expensive for me. I did collect about 6 photo albums of cards though and enjoyed it very much. :)
Benches make me happy. :-) Postcrosses sounds interesting!! Going to check it out. Can't wait to hear what you get!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue bench!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up on Postcrossing. Sounds like fun. I especially love that you used your own photos for the postcards!
