T's postcards - 103

This was actually a non folding birthday card - it had a bunny pin on it at one point too - no idea where that went. Thanks Grandma and Opa!

T's postcards - 102

T got this right before he was to start kindergarten. He was already excited - and now his teacher does postcards too? Wow! :) Thanks Mme K!

N's Postcards - 90

This is a card is from the realtor that helped us find our house. It says "And do you commit to a fixed marriage, amortized over a period of sixty years, with penalties for early payoff?" Yikes if marriages were really like this!

Festival of Postcards - White

Well, I haven't gotten any new postcards scanned - it's been crazy hectic busy around here. In fact, I should get off my computer and get busy. :D But I haven't posted in a while, and I am TRYING to be a little bit better about that. So, when I saw this festival of postcards at postcardy's site, http://postcardy.blogspot.com/, I thought sure, why not? So here we go!
This is a normal view of Winnipeg in the winter - white sky (that's on the warm days), white smoke from heating our homes, white snow. Even the colours end up seeming muted. Maybe this is why I like Christmas so much?? All the reds and greens? This year has been strange, we have a tiny bit of snow - we can still see grass, easily. There is a high of 0C today - normally it's much colder by now.

My husband says I am predictable - but look at what he lets the boys give me! :D This is a wonderful picture - not one that I would normally go for, but I love the "suns" in the bouquet :) Thank you hun, I love you :) The photo was taken by Dean T Hamilton :)

Brandon at night in the winter. From my friend as she went out of town to work. She must have been lonely, Brandon is only 2 hours away!

Postcard I received when I was on holidays from an (ex) boyfriend. One of the prettiest pictures I have seen of Winnipeg, and I can't find it anywhere! :(
