Either this card got mailed out very late or it's a miracle it showed up. According to Postcrossing this postcard traveled a total of 273 days from Czech Republic. Holy moly that's a long time! I am glad I did receive it however. I always get so sad when a postcard expires. I always wonder where the postcard is or where it ended up or did it meet its fate by being shredded in a sorting machine.

My apologies for the lack of updates lately. It's been pretty busy and hectic in The Smith Team headquarters. Between six day work weeks and long hours, it hasn't left much time for family time, let alone postcard and blogging time. I've got lots to share and update!

A few days ago I received two envelopes from my new friend Melissa in Vermont. One had a Christmas card enclosed and the other held little trinkets, a notecard, and a vintage postcard of the Bridge of Lions in St. Augustine!
The first envelope had a 2012 Forever Liberty stamp with a cute Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer cancellation over it.
The second envelope held two 2014 Abraham Lincoln stamps and a 2009 Liberty Bell First Class stamp.
