When my kids were small we actually watched this cartoon a few times ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ah the memories!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you ever watch this show?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you did ... did you ever notice Sponge Bob has a heart-shaped tongue???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nope, neither did I. </div>

I had never heard of the "Buffalo Exchange" ... until I found several unused postcards at the thrift store. Of course the hearts caught my eye first! </div>

Apparently there is a Buffalo Exchange somewhere nearby ... I may someday try to visit it - I'm very curious as to what kind of "new & recycled fashion" they trend!</div>

I was so little when our family visited Crater Lake that the only thing I really remember is the verrrry, verrrrry lonnnnnng straight road we had to drive to get there.</div>

It's been more than 30 years since I've visited the Painted Hills in Central Oregon. These are incredible geologic formations - many are not much taller than a person!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this postcard of a village in North Italy at a thrift store ... it had been bent and discarded.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the memories it stirred are priceless.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In what seems like another lifetime, and a trip we took while stationed in Germany.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the map it looked like a shortcut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In reality, it was a tiny winding road high in the mountains. In some places it was one lane and you looked out your window straight down. And down. And down some more. There were no guardrails.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It turned out to be one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, and I'd go again if I could.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't notice until I got home ... one of the green patches in the mountains on the far side of the valley is shaped like a heart.</div>

This postcard depicts the famous "Old Faithful" geyser at Yellowstone National Park. It looks pretty much the same now as it did in 1992 (when this postcard was issued) ... and the same as it looked when my family visited back in 1965 or so. I was just a little tyke, but I have vivid memories of Old Faithful! </div>

I am glad that our national parks have reopened after the 2-week shutdown ... but, like many Americans, am frustrated that it happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I won't get into politics here, because I loathe politics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I know that my opinion is just that. MY opinion. I will not force it on you, although I suspect most people hold similar opinions!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I will just let it go with this ... I will express MY opinions during the next election.</div>

I can't stand to see old postcards and photos in the bins at the thrift store "outlet" store. I know it is the final chance for these pieces of history to be found before they are disposed of (usually paper is shredded).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when I found an old photo album of someone's Arizona vacation/road trip, I just had to snatch it up. It was full of wonderful pictures ... interspersed with postcards like this one. </div>

The arrival of spring has been delayed here ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Flowers that usually show up in mid-February are just now starting to bud, and the ones that are supposed to bloom now are still just bare sticks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sigh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait for Spring to finally show up!!!</div>

I love this card because these are not the usual flowers I think of in the dead of winter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And because of the cute little heart in the center of one of those gorgeous blooms! </div>

This is one of the postcards I purchased from the "Farnsworth" collection at an estate sale. Most of the other cards were dated from 1900 to 1920 ... I don't know if this one falls in that time frame or not. </div>
