Thank you so much!
First one came from Claire aka Chilly from Reading United Kingdom, the post cards are just beautiful, Ive sadly never been to the Uk, funny how you thought that it was Plymouth in England :rotfl:
Secondly I got 4 more from April aka For the love of Disney

They are from Chantelle who lives on the Isle of Wight.
Very pretty place :goodvibes
Stacey says Thank you and no she has never met a celebrity. She hopes you have fun on your first trip this fall and she has never swam with the dolphins. She doesn't have a favorite football (soccer) team, but likes baseball and the Chicago White Sox. (I like the Chicago Cubs)
That makes 2 sets for each of us, we are waiting on one more and to hear if ours have arrived. :wave:

Well, I've received my fourth set of postcards from crazyme5kids. She sent me a postcard of:
the Empire State Building
the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhatten
the George Washington Bridge
a group of photos of Long Island
Montauk Point Lighthouse, Long Island
a map of New York state
Rockefeller Plaza
the Fire Island Lighthouse
and maps of Long Island and the New York subway system
Thank you Margie! I love to look at maps. Don't know why, they just fascinate me. Were you wanting me to notice the "NBC News is coming here!" marquee in the background of the Rockefeller Plaza one? I guess that means that that postcard picture is dated? The one of the Statue of Liberty one is also. It has the twin towers in it. It's good though, keeps that memory alive.

LOL! You'd be amazed at all the postcards that are somewhat outdated in NYC. My husband picked up a bunch from the city for me. I didn't even use the ones of Times Square because the pictures don't look anything at all like it looks now. Leave it to my husband not to notice!
The funny thing is he works (well sometimes) in the city and where the office is now is smack dab in the heart of Times Square.
The ones with the Twin Towers, well I don't think we New Yorkers are ready to not see them in a postcard, it just wouldn't seem right.

Good question Sandra... so many postcards seem to have gone AWOL... arriving way late:confused:
A little elf very kindly sent Molly some postcards of Letchworth Garden City and a native black squirrel - thank you :sunny:
There were also some leaflets of local attractions in the envelope - Molly loves leaflets so these were a big hit!
Thanks so much guys :thumbsup2
