u/withininus - I think you and I must have taken our breaks at about the same time. Even so, I welcome you back. Thank you for the Rottweiler postcard. That is a big dog! I like big dogs, though. My favorite kind is Old English Sheepdog with a short haircut. Rottweilers and OESs have one thing in common besides size: they both tend to get their tales docked in the U.S. What's your favorite breed?

u/credo99 x2 Thank you for the stylized flowers which are very interesting. I'm glad they're pink, because that's my favorite flower color. Thanks for walking me through the garden in your mind. Once in a while I think I might garden, and then I remember our yard is totally shaded. I know shade gardening is a thing, but if I'm going to do all the work, I want to end up with tomatoes and cucumbers. Thank you part 2. I love the bookshelf card with the cat curled up and the ship in a bottle. I wish my bookshelves looked like that. They do not. lol. I appreciate the book recommendation and have put Night Train to Rigel in my looong list of books I want to read.

u/Bubblysunflowers - Thank you for the black bear sleeping peacefully in a field of flowers. Your garden talk reminds me of my dad, who was an excellent gardener. I wish now that I had followed him around as a teenager and absorbed his skill. The only thing I've managed to keep alive is a Willow Oak.

u/Tricky-Worth-6771- Thank you for "Every bunny needs some bunny." Add "to love" at the end, and I swear that was a t-shirt I wore in 5th grade. I am very fond of rabbit art. You also have a great spring!

u/crispleader - Oooh, typewriter! Thanks for the joy a genuine typewriter brings, even if the caps lock needs some work. I like hearing about your dogs. Mine is not really a puppy but we still call him that, because he'll always be our baby. He's an Old English Sheepdog (with a 1/4" haircut done regularly) and he's 9 years old.

I'm sorry to be late saying thank you. My conditions have been acting up, with low mood and fatigue. These cards have meant the world to me and I'm sorry I can't give you the thanks yous they're due. As of now I just want to have people get their flair so I'm writing my thanks less effusively than usual. These must be done!

u/indiegoes - Thank you for the woman knitting sweaters for her cat. (Cat look like, homey don't play that). Funny card and I appreciate it.

u/Nayonayomee - Thank you for the spring card! Don't worry about being behind because I am too. There may in fact be a funk floating around. Ah, lightening bugs, jewels of late spring. Ours usually come at the beginning of June and I can't wait! No more flowers here; it's too late. Just a verdant landscape. (thanks for the stamp math, too)

u/isbirdreallythword - Thank you for "Picking Flowers" from the National Gallery of Art. Do I have a pet? Let me introduce you to Franklin, my 9-year-old Old English Sheepdog. He's a senior now which makes me sad, but he still goes on walks every day (just short ones). Hi, there, Sam!

u/OliviaTD99 - Thank you so much for the hand-painted view of space. I love the greens, blues and oranges in the planet-scape. It always means a lot when an artist does a card, etc, just for me. I will quite possibly frame this. I hope spring has come to your area by now

u/rnwglx - Thank you for the "imperfect" maxi card, though, I must say, it looks perfect to me. I chose the one of the potter because I used to take pottery in high school. The post mark is really cool, too!

u/LjubJ - Thank you for the cute bunnies in the woods in winter. I could use a refresher like this because we are hitting summertime highs in Salisbury, North Carolina, and it isn't even summer yet. Sing on!

u/ventriada - Thank you for the train in the landscape which I played Bingo for. I probably should have said train because I like train postcards. I told my brother he should go on a bicycle tour of the Netherlands because of their affinity for bikes. My brother has 4 bikes - 3 in different cities. No, the boy cannot be without a bicycle.

u/credo99 - Thank you for the postcard of Copenhagen. It's really bright and vibrant. Don't worry about being late sending it; I'm late with everything. Have fun visiting NYC!

u/paganinipanini x2 - Thanks for the card with the hand-stamped pink chicks and bigger birds like a flamingo and pelican. Yes, I've conquered my fear of flying (and I'm flying to Baltimore next to visit my brother). But, oh, cockroaches. I scream like a little girl when I find a fat Southern one in our southern home. My boyfriend is good about chasing them down and whacking them. I wish I could be so bold. I love the species of the world - except that one.

Thank you also for the card of the sweet orange tree. So luscious. And thanks for letting me know your favorite YouTube show. Is it still your favorite?

u/naokokoro - Thank you for the cutie-pie "camping together" card. I love how the animals run and use the camping store. "Cutie-Pie" passes for pie in my book! If I were a pie I'd be a chocolate cream.

u/Andromeda921 - Your lateness? I am just now thanking people who wrote to me from a day ago to 3 months ago. Talk about late, I am the queen of it. Anyway, thanks for the meaning of lightening bugs (aka fireflies). They'll probably be here within 2 weeks and I am so excited. Thanks for revving my excitement up!

u/spaaaaaacey, Thank you for the funny telephone history card. And thanks for following through with my prompt. If I may invade on your family gettogether, my favorite is original sugary Coke. My least favorite is Diet Pepsi. $5 to guzzle one.

u/snerdboff - Thank you for the postcard of "The Umbrella" by Renoir. Impressionism is one of my favorite older styles. I very much appreciate you congratulating me on my flair, even those I haven't been very active lately. New meds, new me? We'll see.

Mystery sender - Thank you for the orange cat, Japanese style. This is so cool, I wish I had your username to flair you up. You do include a return address...Might be getting a card from me soon.

u/towalktheline - Thank you for the Caterpie. I promise to take care of him/her. The only other Pokemon I have is Nincada so it should be a good mix. I admit I haven't played Pokemon in a while but the memories are precious.

u/withininus - Thank you for the baby (?) bear card. I'm so glad you're going back to the city of your dreams, which is halfway the city of my dreams. So, I'm a little envious too. You will travel, I have no doubts. Bon Future Voyage!

u/on1oman1ac - Thank you for the funny orange cats enjoying Monet's bridge and the water (or is the wet cat enjoying themselves?) In any case it's adorable. To answer your question, I am very good at sleeping in the day. Sometimes I hear something like the trash collection truck, but I roll back over and go to sleep. I love being nocturnal!

u/ok-box6919 - Thank you for the thank you card. You must get quite different birds on Merlin, being on the opposite side of the country. My latest rare one is the Baltimore Oriole. They've registered twice but I haven't been able to see them :(

u/prcsngrl - Thank you for the textured cat card. It's really cute. Don't worry about being late when I'm so late thanking you, and so many other people. Have you ever read Ringworld? That was one of my favorite SF books, brought to me by my late stepfather. Right now I'm reading something less complicated than most SF: Here one Moment by Liane Moriarty. Its appeal to me? It's set in Australia and written by and Australian.

u/CarolusMagnus3 - Thank you for the postcard of Costa del Sol. It does indeed look beautiful and interesting. I take it you've been there once. Twice? More?

u/Hoolu123 - Thanks for the homemade postcard of the architectural drawings. I have to admit, I watch so many crime shoes, I was wondering, "where's the body?" It's okay if there isn't one. Crime shows, I think, are not great for my soul.

u/Running_Turtle28 - Thanks for a memento of my home! When we were teens (there were 4 of us) my parents used to take us to Mount Vernon on Washington's birthday, because admission was free. Later I took my boyfriend there. I like the grounds better than the house, but the house is fun, too. I lived less than 10 miles from Mount Vernon most of my life.

u/Misty_Moonrider - Thank you for the sharktastic postcard. I love this kind of humor; it's spot on. I am tossing the greens right now for the shark and I to share!.

u/pearbanban - Thank you for the tea, which I drank about a month ago, adulterated with oat milk. I like it; it has more flavor than basic American tea. Thank you also for the sleeping cat card. Five cats all at once? My dad and stepmother had 6 at once in the 1990s, but they were indoor/outdoor cats so they had their space. I wish I could just have one cat now, but it would probably be tortured at the vicinity of our 110-lb dog (equivalent to 11 cats ;)
