Thank You Maria!

Welcome to John's Island

This week's theme is "anything you wish" and imagine my surprise when I looked at Maria's Postcards for the Weekend to see that she is sharing the cards I gave her on her recent visit to America. Just loved that and wanted to thank her for posting the cards and for her kind words about them. I couldn't think of a better way to return the favor than to share some of the cool cards Maria has sent me. Here are just a few ...

  1. It's nice to see your exchange of postcards. And these postcards are very interesting! Very exotic to me, as Cambodja and Singapur are far away from home. Thanks for sharing them.

  3. I need one of those conical hats for gardening here in the scorching South. Ah, who am I kidding? Like I'm going to do that! ;-)

    Loved seeing the cards on Maria's site too. It's a small world.

  10. Oh wow! How cool, John! I totally have no recollection now of sending the first postcard to you. For the rest, I totally recall pieces of memories connected to when I sent those. Thank you very much for the back feature ;-)

  11. Most interesting cards, John. Cambodia brings back worrisome memories to me as a couple of fellow teachers and friends were with Vista as the war in Vietnam spilled over into Cambodia and we feared for their lived. They made it out and brought an adopted child with them...:)
