It's a nice idea, Tami, but where do you get postcards nowadays?

ETA--Magic of the Internet (see below), indeed. I found some from my area on Amazon and threw them in with my order. :)

Looks like a stamp for a regular sized postcard is $0.56

Tami, it's good to "see" you again!

Post cards are sure not as common as they used to be, but I'll go shopping for one. The magic of the internet tells me I can still buy a post card at Walmart, Walgreens, CVS and the post office. I guess I'll see...

Annie

Thank you both! Yes, I think that's what a stamp for a post card is now. I try to keep some on hand in the RV so I can send to the kids, and grands. You can still get postcards at the tourist places, like state parks and museums and things.

We "upgraded" the RV from the 30' to a little bit older 40' diesel pusher in October of 2020. That December M retired for the last time, and we have become snowbirds. We don't know how to stay home now! In fact, we were just in Michigan in Ionia, for a RV rally. DS divorced last fall and has moved back home, which, while not what you want to see, has been good for him and us. He needed a place to go, and a place to be himself, and we needed someone to take care of the house. We all got the best deal. He pays a small rent which covers part of the utilities, which helps. And when we are home, I don't have to cook as much! He likes to cook and bake.

Could always print out a state card onto cardstock at home.

...or a US map and highlight your state

What a good idea!

Oh come ON people! There are post cards at almost any place that there is an interest! We just got one today from our 3 YO grandtwins that were Bluey! From Oakland CA. WTH is in Oakland???? They just sent one cause they love us!

Not in my neighborhood! Perhaps in the drug chains Annie mention, though I haven't seen them. Used to be all over.

Tami, it sounds like you and M are doing well and having DS as a "house sitter" is working well for all of you. Have fun!

My little town doesn't seem to have anything of interest to put on a postcard, LOL, but I'm sure there are "Michigan" postcards somewhere in town. We do have a Walmart and a post office!

Annie

I found one at CVS drug store, but not easy to find.

I sent mine at the beginning of the week, but have no clue how long it will take to get there. I also arranged for a bonus one, outside of the brief.

I hope the class is getting a lot of cards from all over! (Kate and I are in the same state, but it's a big one!)

I'm still looking, Tami! My local Walgreens didn't have any and the ones from the Post Office are just blank, although I guess I could write something and it would have a Michigan post mark. Walmart will be my next stop...

Annie

A Jara is getting a card from an idiot that had to cross out and correct the spelling of the town he sent it from. 🫢

Thank you plllog and foodonastump! Don't worry about having to fix a correction from your town! I've done the same! Multiples from the same states are great! I haven't had a chance to talk to Amber to see what is coming in. She is working every day in September, and juggling everything else that has come up, including the aforementioned 5ht grader's slight struggle with some homework. Amber is now working as a substitute aide at school, and though it's supposed to be part time, right now it's full time for September, and we haven't been home, either. Hopefully we will be spending the weekend with them next weekend! I have not told the little A that all of these are coming. Just Amber!

Tami, I hope you have a great weekend together! I forgot to put little A's name on it, so please tell her not to worry if less are so designated.

My postcard will be in tomorrow's mail, I finally found one at a small card shop in my small town. It's not my town, of course, but it's Michigan!

Annie

Plllog, if you let me know how you signed it, or where it's coming from, I will pass the information to Mom. We will have a great weekend! We show the antique hit and miss engines, the cast iron ones that have flywheels on them. It's been a family tradition since before my kids were born. Now the grandkids get upset if they can't go! It's our local show, and the only one any of them are usually able to go to. We all camp together, play with the engines, and there is a huge flea market to wander.

Annie, thank you!

Tami, that sounds like a wonderful weekend outing! Those hit and miss engines built America (after the age of the mule, which did give a good start). :D Wishing you lovely weather!

I don't need any acknowledgement, but if Little A wants to know which cards are "hers", it's the one with the Santa Monica pier on it, saying "Los Angeles" (well, it is in L.A. county...) The one from the Arctic is also "hers".

Plllog, thank you! You are right about those engines. The weather looks like it's going to be perfect!

Is the project limited to only the United States? or is it all of North America? i could send one from here is that is allowed.

Lulu, it's mostly for the US, but I have a friend from New Zealand who wanted to participate, so I said if she wanted to send one, do so! And I say the same to you. My thought was that they can be used at some point in class. My daughter has let the teacher know the one from New Zealand is coming. Thank you!

She should also have gotten one from Greenland. ;)

Greenland! Fantastic! Thank you!

Thank you Kathy! I actually have shark teeth that my grandparents picked up in Florida! I hadn't thought of giving her some to take to school! They will love the post card!
