Sorry George! Sometimes my brain gets ahead of my 2-finger typing skills.

Thanks for the Toledo Harbor postcard George. I always enjoy cards from lights I haven't seen in person yet.

I too received George's card...thanks George.

Holy Toledo arrived here as well. Thanks George!

The Bug Light in Duxbury Harbor, MA arrived today from Eileen and Dave Dunlap. Thanks for the great card. I've not made it to see the light up close but I have viewed it from Plymouth Rock.

Thanks again!

shirin

Received the Dunlap's card of the Bug Light yesterday. Thanks!

Sent mine out today!

I sent all my cards out yesterday too.

Sue, I hope it doesn't take 3 months to get this card delivered to me!

I got the "Bug" and the Light in Toledo Harbor. Thanks Dunlaps and G. Hood

Sent mine this morning.

Received Sue's card from Martha's Vineyard. I'll be seeing this light in just a few weeks. Thanks for the preview Sue!


shirin

Received your card today Lorie, lot's quicker than you got my last one! Thanks, won't spoil the surprise for the others except to say that it's of "Northern" Lights!

Got your card today Lori...never heard about that New England cruise before...sure sounds nice...what cruise line is it?
Ruthie

Received cards from Mombo and Lorie Roe today! Both very very nice! Sue - I like the map on the back.

Suzanne Murphy

I received Sue's card yesterday in record breaking time! Thanks.

Ruthie, the cruise line we were on was Holland America.

Two cards received today, one from Linda to remind me of last weekend and one from Bob S. showing 4 views of his favorite lighthouse! Thanks to you both!

3 cards for me today. I received cards from Bob S., Sheryl and Linda. I did well today, 3 cards and no bills!


Thanks for the great cards everyone,

shirin

I received three cards today as well. Thanks to Bob S., Linda and Sheryl. All three are really nice cards.

Sorry I'm behind, I have received 3 very nice cards from George, Eileen & Dave, and Sue.

Thanks!
Sheryl

Mine will be in the mail on Thursday. I stamped all of my postcards from a recent trip, so I did not want to write over the emblem. I am amazed at the beautiful cards that I have received.

Two more cards made it west, Linda & Sheryl. Thanks! I haven't seen Bob Scroope's yet.

Lorie's card made it to my mailbox today. Great card Lorie. That must have been a great cruise.


shirin

Received Sue's from Martha's Vineyard. Sounds like I should find more in my mailbox today!

Received Lorie's card today. That must of been some cruise you went on. Thanks!

Re: PCE #9

Received cards from George H, Lorie R, Bob McK, Sue(Mombo),Bob S.,Sheryl I, and Eileen and Dave D. All terrific! No duplicates!
Thanks to you all.
JoanieO
Hope to get mine out soon.

Bob's card made it to Utah. Montauk is high on my list of lighthouses that I want to visit.

Received Terry's (TD) card today of a light from his home state. Thanks Terry, very nice, especially with that stamp!

I also received Terry's card today. It's amazing how fast some cards arrive and how slow others are. I like the stamp on the back. Thanks!

Update: got 3 more cards from Lorie Roe, Linda Manning, and Bob Scroope. Thanks they are great.

Sheryl

I received Terry's card today. This is one of the lights at the top of my "To See" list. Thanks for the Card!

shirin

Received cards from Linda M. and Terry "TD"
Thanks. They have been added to my Postcard Exchange Album.
JoanieO

I had no problem getting post cards for the post card exchange #8. I just took a ride to Sanibel and bought them at one of the shops on Periwinkle Way. ( The lighthouse has no museum or gift shop)
When I signed up for PE#9 and PE#10 I thought I had it made. I was going with the Florida LH Assoc. to see Anclote Key and Egmont Key. No Problem - right? WRONG!
Neither light had a museum shop or gift shop and I couldn't find any post cards of either light in any of the shops in those areas.
Since I don't have a "stash" of postcards on hand, and won't have the opportunity to shop/visit any LH in the immediate future, I definitely have a problem. I apologize to all the members of the exchange but I am improvising and making my own to send to you. I am so sorry, but I wanted to send something to all of you. When I get a real, store-bought post card, I'll make it up to you. But for now, I hope you will all understand.
Regrets, JoanieO

Joanie,

There are several ways to make your own cards. One is to scan a picture, print it onto a postcard blank and then mail it. There are several varieties of postcard products available from your local office store. The downside is that I think the cards are kind of flimsy and not sure how well they will travel thru the mails.

The second way is one that Derith has used. She bought a post card backing that you pasted (peel & stick) onto a normal printed picture. Those looked great, and came thru the mail in good shape.

Got any lighthouse photos you like?

Dave

I had a friend who used to send me photos through the mail every now and then. He just put a stamp on the back and wrote on them like they were a post card. They came through just fine. But then he was a mailman so maybe he knew a trick?

I took my last batch of cards up to the P.O. and asked if they could hand cancel them. They said even if they did the main P.O. in Syracuse still runs them through a machine. Guess that's what makes little tears on the back and those sort of white spots on the front of some of them? Then others don't even look like they've been touched!?

Joanie, whatever you decide to do will be fine I'm sure.

Received Terry's card yesterday. Great card of a great light. The stamp is a nice touch. Thanks!

I mailed my postcards today, May 1st.

Suzanne

Two cards received here today, one great "bargain" card from Shirin and a very nicely composed card fro JoanieO. Stop appologizing Joanie, it's very nice and nice to have a personal momento from your recent visit! Thanks to you both!

Received Suzanne Murphy's card today of Kewaunee Pierhead Light on Lake Michigan in Wisconsin. Thanks. It's in my album already.
JoanieO

Recieved your card today also Suzanne, very nice, thanks!

I received Joan's and Suzanne's cards while I was away this weekend. Both are great additions to the collection.

Joan, I was thinking of making my own card for this exchange until I went to NYC for an evening. Otherwise, this exchange would have ended up with two homemade cards. I like the personal pics.

shirin

Received both Joanie's and Suzanne's cards on Saturday. Both are of lights that I have not been to yet. Hope to see them in the near future though. Thanks!

Thanks Shirin, received your card of the Statue of Liberty. It's in the album (pe#9)

JoanieO

Thanks Shirin, received your card of the Statue of Liberty. It's in the album (pe#9)

JoanieO

Mine went in the mail today.
