Postcards!

I've joined a postcard swapping group. Even worse, I've been sucked in to moderate it. I'm kidding about the "worse" part. Its not that much of a hassle, just approving new members, but that makes number four. Six months ago I was quivering in my boots at the thought of moderating one group, now I'm the yahoo groups madame or something. Anyway, since this is an international group, some of the folks on the list seem to think Dismal, TN is an exotic location - and who can blame them? Its scenic, and the denizens have strange customs.... So I decided to make my own cards from digital photos. Took me a week to find the right paper, but I'm off, sending cards to places as close as the Carolinas and as far away as New Zealand. That gave the lady in our local post office a thrill, too, looking up rates to far off lands. It occurred to me that some of my charming relatives would like some postcards, too, so if you're charming and I have your address, look for a postcard. I'm posting a few here, while I'm at it.
