Postcards, and Memes ....

I was terribly excited when I went to my letterbox yesterday, and found 4 postcards. I love getting mail, especially from new friends.

I got one from DaybyDay, showing some work from the Detroit Art Museum ....

There were two (yes, two) from LoraLoo, from Las Vegas (seems she couldn't make up her mind between a day-time view and a night-time view !!) ...

And one from a fellow Aussie, Peter, from the Kuranda Scenic Railway, near Cairns in Far North Queensland ...

Thank you, friends, for sharing a part of your world with me.

I wrote my cards last night, and will post them all today, so for those of you who exchanged addresses with me ... stay tuned to your letterboxes (although I wouldn't be in any hurry ... I don't imagine Australia Post will get them to you in under a week !!).

I was tagged by Viamarie for this meme ... it is all about 10 SIMPLE PLEASURES ...

Name ten of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick ten people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.

So, here goes, in no particular order ...

1. Enjoying loving cuddles from my daughter and husband.
2. Listening to the contented purring of my beloved kitty cat.
3. Being happy to be alive in this wonderful world we live in.
4. Blogging.
5. Reading a wonderful book.
6. Listening to the innocent laughter of children.
7. Sunshine.
8. Listening to the rain falling on the roof, knowing that I am inside, warm and dry.
9. Chocolate ... in all shapes and forms.
10. Holidays with my family and friends.

I don't know that I will tag 10 people, but I will tag a few .... Greeneyes, Nicole, Chloe, DaybyDay, Kyahgirl, Feathers, and anyone else who cares to be tagged ... I'll leave it up to you !!!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

Take care, until next time ...

MEOW

I sent off one last week that was a scene from Arizona and one today (it won't go out until tomottow) of Tulip Town here in Washington State. I doubt either of them will get there too soon, either.

Your list is a good one.

LoraLoo said...

I love your list. I just may have to find the time to post my own list.

How exciting it was to see my postcards! I really loved to see the others you posted too - that view from near Cairns, Australia was breathtaking.

Cool postcard collection. I'll send you one if I can get your address. Hmmm... I'm wondering what it would be... probably Niagara Falls. I live 45 minutes from Niagara Falls.
