Patrice sent me a cute fun fact postcard about the origin of candy apples. A candy store owner in Newark, NJ started making them and they sold for a nickel each. Thank you, Patrice.

Many thanks to Patrice for the fun fact postcard about popcorn during the Great Depression. I love popcorn!

Btw surprised the card made it to TN when it said TX:0

Thanks to Patrice for the fact card about sundaes. The drug store owners were creative to make sundaes when they couldn't sell drinking soda water on Sundays. Thanks for helping me learn something new today :-)

Thank you from me as well Patrice for the fun facts Constitution postcard. I pray you enjoy some time off! Thanks always for including my dad. 

Thank you,  Amy so much for the Indiana Sand Dunes postcard. Dad said to tell you years ago he did research for a book set out there.

Hug and sweet dreams later to all. 

Catching up with pc and 4th of July mail from while I was on vaca.......

Thanks to Claire for the pc of redwoods which reminded her of her growing up years.  They are on my bucket list to see. 
Melanie sent a 'God Bless America' pc. Lynn sent  holiday wishes with 2  large coasters. Rebecca sent a  newsy notecard with geraniums on the front-- My folks always had baskets of them hanging from porch ceiling every summer. 
 

Think I'm all caught up now. 

Thanks to Patrice for the ice cream trivia. That one's going into my collection 

I got a trivia card too - all about denim. Thanks, Patrice.

Thanks to Amy for the Illinois, Land of Lincoln pc. She remembered I was born and raised there. Lincoln's homesite that she visited is where our 8th grade overnight history class trips went every year. 

Thank you Cindy for the postcard of Pinson Wounds State Archaeological Park (Jackson, TN).  I would have climb those stairs too.  

Thank you Patrice for the American Flag postcard.  

My postcard from Patrice was in my box today - with fun facts about covered wagons!  Thanks.

My thanks to Amy for the pansies note card and the packet of morning glory seeds. My aunt's name was Gloria, so my mother and I enjoyed our morning glory vines.

Thank you to all who shared in the July card swap

My apologies.  I'm terribly behind in my thank you's. So before I send out my August cards..

Thank you to 

Jeanne for the Myrtle Beach card. It looks like a beautiful place to vacation. We usually stay at a shore town on the beach too. 
 

Rebecca for the Beaufort, North Carolina card.  I love the sparkly picture. It would be fun to see those wild horses. 
 

Cyn for the Monmouth Cave National Park card. It looks like somewhere the hubby and I would like to go hiking. We'd probably brave the caves....probably. :)

Nancy & Henry for the Natural Bridge Caverns card. It brings back memories of Howes Caverns in NY and the night we stayed in the hotel there and were the only people on the whole mountain. 
 

Amy for the Indiana Dunes butterfly card. I've never been to the Great Lakes, though I did get to see one as we drove by lol. 
 

Rebecca for the advice from the night sky.  All good things to keep in mind. 
 

Thanks to Rebecca for the Fort Macon postcard, which showed up today looking a bit bruised.  It was postmarked 2 July, so I'm guessing it got held up by the PO closure/slowdown due to Hurricane Beryl, and then possibly sat in backlog for a while...
