May NA RR - Idaho Skiing

Diana sent me this pretty card.  Now I really wish I skied.  :)

May NA RR - Fair Lane

Fair Lane was Henry Ford and his wife Clara's 56 room estate located in Dearborn, Michigan. In 2013 ownership of the estate was transferred from the University of Michigan to a newly formed nonprofit that will restore, refurbish and reimagine this National Historic Landmark. What a treasure!  I would enjoy touring it.

May NA RR - Southernmost House

 

Craig sent me this famous Key West Hotel - Southernmost House. I do love the Victorian architecture but oh those colours! Not my style. :)   Despite that this is one of Key West's most famous hotels and I'd love to stay there.  I can check in tomorrow for $229 per night.  See ya!  :)

May NA RR - New Jersey Multiview

Nice multiview card from Olga.  She is a teacher in New Jersey. Naturally this is her busiest time of year.  She writes that she is dreaming of vacation.  :)  I don't blame her!

May NA RR - Copper Mine

I love this card from Erin featuring an early copper mine scene from Michigan's Copper Country.

May NA RR - Houston, we have a postcard!

Some people like to poopoo your basic standard tourist view card.  Not me.  I think they are lovely and this one is a great choice.  It's hard to go wrong with a night view.

May NA RR - See, I've Got It All!

Susan sent me this awesome Anne Taintor card in the May RR.  (That makes Anne Taintor two days in a row if you're keeping track!).   How many of you can relate to this card? :)  Love it Susan, thank you!

May NA RR - Anne Taintor!

I love Anne Taintor, so I was thrilled to receive this card from Valerie!   My first Anne Taintor card! :)  I actually bought a book of her postcards but I decided giving is more fun than receiving so I've been sending them out.  They are on my wishlist of cards to receive however. Thank you for obliging me, Valerie!

May RR - Connecticut Covered Bridge

The May NA RR over on the North America Postcrossing Forum has been the best round robin experience I have ever participated in.  The cards have been fantastic and I don't mean just the ones I've received.  I'm seeing the other ones people are receiving and they are superb!

This Connecticut covered bridge card from Erin is stunning!  She was there at night and didn't get to see any covered bridges herself but I hope next time she'll make the trip during the day and stop to take them in.

Thanks, Erin... I LOVE it!

May RR - Bethany Beach

Surf's up, dude!  Thanks Susan for this great card!

May RR - Kentucky Bridge

Beautiful card from Sher.  I want to travel and see every covered bridge in the world.  I really really really do.

May RR - Locust Creek Covered Bridge

This is one of two covered bridge postcards I received today.  This one is from Robin who comments how covered bridges are so peaceful.  She's right about that.  I also love the flowers on this card.  Gorgeous! 

May RR - Elenore Abbot Mermaid

This is an illustration by renowned children's book illustrator Elenore Plaisted Abbott.  This particular illustration is from The Flower Maiden and Other Stories by Hans Christian Anderson. 

Lina wrote the following on the back of the card:  "A positive attitude may not solve all your problems... but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort!"  Lol!  Words to live by!  :)

Thank you Lina, this is a unique card for my collection! 

May RR - Blue Ridge Parkway

Is this not a beautiful card? Humpback Rocks features a typical 1890s mountain farm with cabin, weasel-proof chicken coop, root cellar, barn with bear-proof hog pen, and spring house.  Thank you Kristy! 

May RR - On a Mission

Beautiful San Antonio Texas card showcasing their fabulous missions!  The architecture is gorgeous!  Thanks Davida!

May RR - Charles & Diana

I squealed with excitement when I pulled this out of the mailbox today!  I had been hoping to eventually get some Charles & Di cards.  Thank you Fiona for completely making my day!  :)

May RR - Covered Bridges of PA

Lana nailed it with this great collage of Lancaster County, PA bridges. Thank you!

May RR - Mysterious Messages, Cryptic Cards, Coded Conundrums, Anonymous Notes

Untitled drawing by Edward Gorey from Heidi.  She's lucky enough to live in the Chicago area where there is an Edward Gorey exhibit.  She says it's FABULOUS!  I have no doubt. #jealous

May RR - E I E I O

Dana sent me this great card of a tranquil family farm. She wrote that it looks like Ontario but that she doesn't have to drive too far in Minnesota to see similar.  Thanks, Dana! 

May RR - Midwest Hotel

Love this card from Mike! He wrote that he loves the old buildings and signs throughout the midwest US.  I have to agree!
