A postcard a day, from a large collection of postcards received, sent to me by me, and/or collected over the last 30+ years.

Dutch Sheep
One of my favorite Postcrossing postcards ever, from Cynthia in the Netherlands. I love the picture and the message, both posted below for your reading pleasure....
I didn't notice until I read the message that it had only three legs. Does that have some special significance in the Netherlands, I wonder? It sounds like it could be something from a children's story.
I've been sending and receiving postcards for over 30 years. When I travel, I send a postcard to myself, even if it's just a one day business trip. I badger my friends to send me postcards when they go on trips. I collected postcard ads from those free postcard dispensers, that used to be found near bathrooms and phone booths in public places around the world. I have a scrapbook of postcards, sent between 1902 and 1905 to my great grandfather from an aunt, who appears to have been traveling extensively around Europe. First post: July 5, 2009
