Kiwi - That other Flightless Bird

 

A postcrossing member from China read that I like kiwi birds. Her cousin had recently returned from a visit to New Zealand and brought her this card, which she kindly sent to me.  How very sweet of her.

 

She recommended the book The Moon and Sixpence by W. Somerset Maugham.

 

A Peaceful day Fishing

"Greetings from Suzhou, China! Suzhou is a 2500 year old city which is famous for its long history and beautiful scenery.  There are many canals, lakes, rivers and bridges here, so Suzhou is often c alled as a "water city"."

A day of fishing , if it were somewhat warmer, would be most welcome.

Post Cards My Sister Sent

My sister Nancy, the other participant in this blog, has been sending me postcards since her university years.  I have kept most of them and am planning to share them here with you.  Since she loves to travel, they are from all sorts of places. 

Winter is giving a valiant effort at trying to convince me that I like it, and want it to stay winter and snowy forever.  These are my last hurrah to the white stuff.  I hope.

 

This was sent to my son.  I believe Nancy was in Colorado as part of a wedding party.  Always time to hit the slopes for a few runs.

This was mailed at the same time to my daughter.

This card was bought in Chamonix, France. 

My sister wrote that this card is from the Yellow Mountains in Wen Quan, China.

Front of the card says "Sea Exploring Pine".
