Postcards: A Travelogue of my Mind's Missives and Gripes: David's Birthday

ONE PERSON'S QUEST TO RESURRECT SNAIL MAIL!

P O S T C A R D S F R O M D A K: A TRAVELOG OF MY MIND'S MISSIVES AND GRIPES

I have been creating my own postcards for months but decided to begin sharing them in this blog. Most are created with visual scraps found in snail mail for snail mail: There are few preprinted, diecut, acid-free, or otherwise prettified scrapbook paper--just whatever magazines or newspapers are deliverd to my door. Please note that most postcards are in the form of missives (thougtful messages) or gripes ( reflections on various issues). These postcards travel not just through real time and space, but over time will reflect the travels my mind will be taking. I hope you enjoy readindg my occaisional textual blogs and viewing my postcards as I add more each week!

David's Birthday

Wow! It is so hard to believe that my little boy is now 19 years old, working and supporting himself, going to school and making good grades, and living (except for a little help now and then from Mom) independently and HAPPY. I didn't get a chance to scan his birthday postcard until he had already rec'd it, so some of the images are missing. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for some images to fall off during delivery through the USPS. But, most of the important ones are here. Nineteen is a great age to be--I recall it being one of my favorite years back in 1975.

David's Birthday (missing images of Lord of the Rings & Pulp Fiction)
