(can e-mail and ask if their e-mail address is on their page, but often it is not). I thought, after I wrote people don't send postcards, that the only time they do is when they visit a country other than their own and phone calls are too expensive.<br />Thinking about postcards makes me want to go out and find some beautiful ones. I read that collecting them is a quite popular hobby in some quarters, and the old ones can be quite expensive.sandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355232032181406759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-73876903943291759552012-10-22T06:41:38.414-05:002012-10-22T06:41:38.414-05:00Would love to send cards to blogger friends,all th...Would love to send cards to blogger friends,all those different countries what a treat.<br /><br />The last card I sent was from Paris when I was there 2 yrs ago.<br /><br />Have enjoyed your history of the American way of sending cards.<br />Dam sq so well known to me.IdaJudith https://www.blogger.com/profile/03634258386057489997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-23040325232820107282012-10-21T21:55:34.986-05:002012-10-21T21:55:34.986-05:00Great that you still send letters and cards.

I think about in the future, there won't be any letters/cards for archivists/historians to sift through -- everything is electronically sent and eventually deleted.sandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355232032181406759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-76833846426243602312012-10-21T21:53:20.741-05:002012-10-21T21:53:20.741-05:00Hi Mette, I didn't intend that the post would ...Hi Mette, I didn't intend that the post would turn into the vast amount of information it did. But you know how it goes--one thing led to another and I didn't know where to stop. But it was fun learning all that about postcards.<br /><br />How nice that a blogger friend sends postcards!<br /><br />I'm with you on the "must" cards, but I don't think that makes us too "horrible." Sending a card should be from the heart, not just checking off a box.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!sandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355232032181406759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-40079395365998773012012-10-21T13:30:19.687-05:002012-10-21T13:30:19.687-05:00I enjoy sending old fashioned mail.

I have saved many that I have received, fun to look back through them and recall the person who sent the card.<br /><br />DarlaDarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729017606957829830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-258431463372570480.post-40910292146951626282012-10-21T11:44:27.164-05:002012-10-21T11:44:27.164-05:00Oh, I forgot something.

...Thank you Sanda for your research on the subject!<br />I am lucky to have a blog friend, who finds the most wonderful cards and sends them to me.<br />In return, I send a few postcards, but not nearly as often as I´d wish to.<br />mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.com
