I just realized, I jumped the gun on this one. Better early then late?
Bob

Yes Bob your card is the first to arrive here for this exchange. Nice card, thanks!
(And I see that you put extra postage on this one to make up for the last one which had the 20 cent stamp! )

I did that for you Sue, my conscience was bothering me that I beat the USPO out of a few pennies. LOL Bob

Bob, thanks for the card. I passed up on it during the trip hoping you would send it out for an exchange. Glad I won't be duplicating this card. This just means I'm still looking for a card for this exchange. Hmmmm....perhaps I'll just have to make some plans for a road trip.

shirin

Got your postcard in the mail today Bob. The tall grass is kind of a trademark of mine. It fits right in with my own pictures.

Mailed my cards for this exchange today. Hopefully they won't take a few months to arrive as has happened to some of mine in the past!

I put my cards for this exchange in the mail today. How is that for being timely! Actually, the postcards have been ready for the past two weeks - I was just waiting for today to mail them.

Enjoy!

Sue your card arrived in lower NY today. Thanks for the history and great card.

My cards will be in the mail tomorrow. I've had them ready for weeks just waiting till August to roll around to mail them.

shirin

I also received Sue's card today. Thanks!

I received Sue's card today as well. Great postcard. Thanks!

Mambo-Sue - Thanks for Oswego Light card & history.

Linda Ann, your card arrived today. Great light and I enjoyed the poem.

Thanks,

shirin

Linda,

To answer you're question- Yes, we've ben up to Maine to see Lighthouses.

We were there about 6 years ago and we just went back last week.

We spent 2 days in the Portsmouth, NH area and then drove up to Portland. We got to Portland Head (at 4:10 PM- Museum closes at 4 PM). It was very Foggy so we could barely see Ram's Ledge.

We also got to Cape Elizabeth, Portland Breakwater and Spring Ledge (also difficult to see due to the fog, even after walking out to the end of the Breakwater.)

I enjoyed the poem.

Dennis

Thanks for your card which arrived today, Linda. The poem on the card makes it truly special. Portland Head is the very first light that I saw and photographed a long time ago when the kids were small and we took a vacation through New England. Quite recently I was looking through an album of "trip pictures" from when they were young. Lo and behold there was one of Portland Head. I knew we had gone there but didn't realize I had a picture to prove it!

I also received Linda's card today. Beautiful card and great poem. Thanks!

Shirin's card from "lower NY" arrived in "upper NY" today! Great card, great light! And I especially like your address labels. Some folks are just so clever. Thanks Shirin.

I got Shirin's card in Central NJ today.

I agree it's a winner.

Dennis

I got Sue's card last week (sorry ) , and Linda and Shirin's today. They're all great, ladies. I wish I would've gotten involved in these exchanges earlier. It's nice to come home and have something aside from bills waiting for me in the mail.

Jared

Glad you guys liked the card and label.

Jared, I agree with you completely. I didn't get started with these exchanges until #8. And now I actually look forward to opening that mailbox at the end of the day.

Thanks everyone,

shirin

My PCE#13 cards went into the mail hopper today!!

I also received Shirin's card today. Thanks!

Received yuesterday cards from Linda & Shirin. Thanks

Received Carol's card from Michigan today. Thanks for the card Carol, perhaps one day soon I'll be able to visit this light for myself.

shirin

I also received Carol's card today. I was just at this light a couple of months ago. Thanks again!

I also got Carol's card today.

I've yet to get to any Great Lakes Lights (at least that I can remember)

Dennis

Carol Z - I got your card yesterday. Thanks.

Glad everyone likes the postcard I sent out. I have received cards from Bob, Shirin and Linda. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else picks out.

Charles, received your card from the Hudson River today. As always, love those lights. Thanks for the card.

shirin

I also received Charles' card today. Thanks!

Arrived home today from Lake Champlain and there weren't any cards. Then I remembered to ask my son if he picked up the mail from the day before and sure enough Carol's and Charles' cards had arrived. Thanks to you both, they're great!

George's card from NJ came today. Really nice card. Kind of reminds me of last year on the Lighthouse Challenge. Thanks again!

George, received your card of the NJ lights today. Great choice. It's a great reminder of the NJ Lighthouse Challenge.

Thanks!

shirin

I got George's card today.

It seems to me that those Lighthouses are familiar to me for some reason.

Nice choice.

Dennis

Got George's card today also, very nice. Thanks George!

Received Pharologist's card yesterday. Thanks

Mine went in the mail today. See how long it takes them to get out from behind the Redwood Curtain.

Rich

Its been a busy summer so I haven't had the time to post every time I receive a new postcard. I am finally catching up and would like to thank Bob, Carol, Charles and Shirin for the great postcards that they sent!!

I was happy to hear that people liked the poem on the postcard that I sent. I purchased those postcards when we visited Portland Head this past May. What a beautiful place it is up there!

Looking forward to receiving more postcards over the upcoming months. Hope everyone is having a great summer!

Rich, I received your card from CA yesterday. This is one that is going on the "To See" list. Thanks for the great card.

shirin

Returning from 4 days away brought two very nice cards. Thanks to Jared and Rich!

Rich - your great card from CA arrived yesterday. Thanks!

Jared,

I received your card from IN today. Looks like you picked a great light to visit.

Thanks for the card.

shirin

I have been receiving some GREAT postcards. Hopefully, I will get mine out very soon. I got a bit behind with everything while I was on vacation. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone!

chris g

Many thanks to Joanie who's card of one of our favorite Canadian Lighthouses arrived today!

Joanie,

I also received your card today. I've seen very few Canadian lights so this was a neat card to receive.

Thanks,

shirin

Joanie,

I got your card today also. It's one of my favorite Canadian lights, even if I've only seen pictures.

Dennis

After being on vacation for 9 days, I received several new cards on my return. Thanks to Rich, Jared and Joanie for their nice cards.

After a VERY busy summer, I have sent out my latest round of postcards. I had a great time on my trip buying these cards. I hope you all like them.

I made it through the last 4 months with my daughter's college graduation, in charge of my parents 50th wedding anniversary, my daughter's wedding on August 20th, and last but not least, my husband is a custom home builder and we were in the "Parade of Homes" for 2 1/2 weeks in August. It was a little crazy and I am TIRED!

My cards are going out in the mail tomorrow morning.

Suzanne Murphy
