The rest of my postcards are in the mail. I'm still receiving a few here and there. I love this swap and I will be sad when it's over.
I cannot master those things that I have not tried.

Thanks again, CJ, for organizing this swap! Bringing in the mail this summer was a real treat with all of the beautiful post cards. Thanks to all for sharing a bit of your corner of the world....so much beauty and so many little snap-shots of wonderful, varied places.

| I probably said this before but mine are just about ready to go. If I miss someone please let me know. On the other hand if you miss me that's ok. I have received so many cards I love each one of them, thank you so much. |

Hi all,
Ours went out almost two weeks ago, so you should have received them. I see that a couple ladies have received them. I too am missing some. If you are missing from me, email me. My email is set up to come to my cell phone and I have a few extra cards with me here at work. I can pop them in the mail if needed.
Have a good day!

Hi all!
One last call if you need me to mail another postcard. I have a few with me here at work, so email me and I can get it right out. (my email is now connected to my cell phone, so I get it right away.)
Have a good day!

I am so sorry that I had to just kind of drop out of sight for awhile. The last few months have been unusually difficult for many reasons, but the main one has been my health.
As most “farm sisters”, I’ve always been used to “over-loading” my boat and still being able to stay afloat on the sea of life. However, this time that type of planning didn’t workout too well for me.
I started feeling “different” mid spring, but didn’t think much of it, thinking I would snap out of it. I continued to feel worse and just couldn’t get things together, feeling more sluggish, overwhelmed, wanting to sleep and not being able to, etc. Then I noticed I was gaining weight, which is unusual for me during the summer….there is just too much to do outside.
To make a long story short, I finally went to the doctor and three weeks ago was told I was on the verge of congestive heart failure. Needless to say, lifestyle changes have been the top priority the last few weeks! I am on medication, which I hate, but for now it is necessary. In the last 8 days alone, I’ve lost 11 pounds of water.
I just wanted you to know, my lack of coming here, posting, and following through on some things was not intentional. I just couldn’t.
In order to make sure everyone sees this, I am going to copy and paste this in each forum where I signed up to be a part of the group.
I also want you to know, I will follow through, although I may be a little slow. (Each day is its own challenge, but things are beginning to turn around.)
To my secret sister ~ I will get you your reveal package to you! Please don’t give up and know, I will try to make it special, since you have been so patient and kind
To Janice (farmgirl 2519), who was my secret sister ~ YES, I rec’d the package with the black & white note pad, teas, soap and other goodies! As a matter of fact, I had to fight with my oldest two “grandchicks” in order to keep the note pad!!! *smile* We all loved it…but it is mine!!!
Your “reveal” package is AWESOME!!! I love everything and everything is something I will use!!! I could not believe the gloves! They are wonderful! I am crazy about the Burt’s Bees lotion. It feels so soft and creamy …..well, it makes me feel more soft and creamy. hahaha The stationery is lovely and I will definitely use!.....Really, everything, each item is more than appreciated!
I loved hearing about your lovely family and learning more about you! Please don’t be concerned that you did not send something every couple of weeks. Life has away of getting busy and challenging, as I well know! But, I need you to email me your address so I can write. ;)
Postcard sisters ~ I should be able to mail my postcards within the next week or so! I have loved hearing from each of you and *seeing* where you live. We will be using the postcards I rec’d as part of our homeschool program this fall. They will make geography much more special as we study the different states.
I would love being *family* penpals with other homeschooling families around the country! Just an idea, that would be an awesome experience as well as make geography/social studies come alive…….NO pressure though…..one letter each semester, would be welcomed…or each week. If several are interested, maybe we could do a “round robin” type newsletter……Let me know.
C.J. ~ everything you sent with my apron was special. You are one of a kind, girl, and I really appreciate you friendship. I really don’t know how you do all that do!!! So happy your Wild West trip was so much fun! I tried to check and read on your blog every once in a while to keep up!
I am sure I have probably missed others (or something), but for now I am going to post this, while I can.
Praying you all are beginning to see some cooler temperatures and get the kind of weather you need.
Blessings,
Cheryl

Dearest Cheryl~
I wish you more strength everyday and am so sorry you have had to go through your illness, I am happy you have had your family for support.
Know that you and your family are in my heart, thoughts and prayers. I will look forward to your postcard when ever you feel up to doing them or not at at all, you need to rest and get your strength back.
Kathy in CA and Kate in NY I received your post cards, thank you.
Farmgirl Hugs,
Debbie
