Well, the countdown is on... not only to Christmas but to when I am able to return home where I belong. In the meantime, the following lovely people were kind enough to send me happy mail at my parents' house:

u/maiiiu - thank you for your letter and inclusions. I swear, I'm working on a reply to you and will hope to get it out to you in the next few days!

u/iheartcitrus - Thank you for the Mammoth Cave postcard!

u/drewadrawing - Thank you for the Heritage Center postcard - I hope you're able to go in soon, and the bats have moved on!

u/tyedyeamish - Regardless of the reason, I never turn down a card, so thank you!

u/bonbilletdoux - What lovely handwriting you have! Thank you for the WPD card!

u/cupcakes_and_canter - I hope everyone there is receiving the support, love, and healing they so richly deserve. You continue to be in my thoughts.

u/sprinkles4072 - Thank you for the Autumn postcard and the pretty leaf. I think my favorite postcard so far has been the Women in Science series - I've received several and find them fascinating.
