Received my first card from Rebecca. I applaud you for getting to know your state, one county at a time. I have always been for the notion that one should explore one's own back yard before tackling the rest of the universe. Mrs C. and I have been doing the same in our state, one state park at a time smiley

Thank you for the wonderful card!

I got my first postcards today!

Thank you to Rebecca. The red panda is my daughter's favorite animal. She even has one tattooed on her arm. Good luck getting to 100!
 

Thank you to Nancy. I love the Badlands picture. It's very like my calendar pictures.  I hope you enjoy your travels.

I got my 1st postcards today too~~ Rebecca sent red panda post card~ very interesting facts on the back about pandas in the US. Your goal of seeing all your counties is what we've been doing as well~ Tx has 254 counties~ a long way to go for us. ~~ 

and a postcard from Towana of buffalo/bison in Wyoming~~ we got lots of bison/buffalo here in TX. We love visiting Wy and the parks there~ awesome views and weather~~

Thanks to Towana for the Grizzly Bear card from Yellowstone National Park. :-)

Thanks to Melissa B for the card from Boston so great you get to visit there :-)

Thanks to Joyce for the Great Smoky Mountains card. That waterfall sounds neat :-)

Thanks to Nancy D for the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park card. Have fun exploring all the counties in Texas :-) I will be at 88 by the end of the month.

Wow, Rebecca, 86 out of 100 is a lot of counties! California only has 58 counties, so few compared to North Carolina. I love your plan to visit all the corners of your home state.

Your trip sounds fantastic, Towana. What an amazing experience. My daughter visited Alaska last month and saw some moose - so cool.

I'm glad you're enjoying your retirement, Nancy. My husband just retired in April and he's been doing a bit of traveling too. Thanks for the colorful postcard.

Dropped the rest of my postcards in the mail this morning after my morning walk. 

Thank you so much...

Nancy D for the Biscayne National Park Card. I hope to visit there someday.

Towana for the postcard from Wyoming. The Tetons are one of my favorite places.  I wept the first time I saw those mountains!  Sounds like you had a great trip!

Rebecca for the adorable red panda card. They are such cute creatures.

Thanks to Al for the beach card. This summer I am going to try to get to more mural by Scott Nurkin. He painted famous and not so famous museums in their hometowns. Hope you have a great summer :-)

Thank you, Nancy D., for the card from Saguaro National Park.

Thank you Towana for the Wyoming Jackalope card. It seems, for how rare they are, those critters are in every state west of the Mississippi (wink)
