The last few days have been full of rain, constant...non stop...around the clock rain.  The postcards arriving at the 2809 bring us sunshine...lots of sunshine!

We have a little piece of sugar cookie cake (I always want to bake when it rains) a cup of hot chocolate or tea and read each card.  We look at the front...usually generating some ooohhhh's and awwwww's from either Meredith or myself but most of the time you'd hear both of us saying it together at the same time! 

On to the cards....six more from the 52 Postcards in a Year at Swapbot.  Are you a member there?  There's a swap for everyone!  You can find me via the link on the right. ----->

I had to come back and add to this post. My heart actually skipped a beat when I saw this envelope in my mail stack, I couldn't believe anyone would make something this beautiful and send it to me.  The letter inside was just as amazing, I felt an immediate connection and am hoping for a wonderful long lasting penpal friendship. 

I just about fell over when this amazing letter arrived!  It's perfect inside and out!
