Month 11 – Wow, it’s finally come to an end. After the wonderful holiday weekend that I really enjoyed observing my brother’s new gun collection (he collects old WW1&2 weaponry) and shooting different weapons for all sides of the fight, I can tell you that the Germans had piss poor aim in their guns, so glad because the world would be a much world place had they conquered, IMO and I’m assuming most of everyone’s else. On top of that, I’ve acquired a ton of Thank yous. That I’ve really let get out of hand. So, it is time I put the effort together, with the help of a sugar free red bull this late in the evening and get these squared away, because each and every one of these people deserve it for the wonderful things they send out to us all. You are my favorite people out there!

Thank you u/starbrightsky for the yellow envelope, a way to definitely brighten any mailbox that came with another beautiful piece of art I get to add to my collection. Redditors artwork is some of my absolute favorite surprises to have delivered. I love the sunflowers. I’m so glad you enjoyed the paperclip. That was one of those neat little things I found over the years. I’m always looking for cute little things to put in the mail for people to get a little prize, I’ll add you to my list, as I’ve got some different little trinkets that I’ve been putting in with the cards lately (: I hope you both had a wonderful birthday (:

Thank you u/Beagleinthesnow for the Tennessee women’s vote postcard. I’ve been pretty good, been away from RAoC for a while as my company has pushed a class with coursework onto my very busy schedule, but no complains as it’s something that will definitely add to my future with the company and lead to further job opportunities and promotions. Just to let you know the new PO Box is 153, thankfully my post workers are well aware on the account of how many stamps I’m always buying that they move my mail from the old box to the new box for me. I hope you have a great year and are very safe.

Thank you u/AnalaboutFissures for the tiny card in the small envelope. I always enjoy opening little envelopes knowing there can’t be much in there, but with your great handwriting it’s definitely like opening a huge package of wonderful information. The work can definitely be challenging, but at the same point its very rewarding. Unlike the office job I had right when I got out of college, I love the ability to always be outside working (of course, with around 24 hours of snow in the forecast tomorrow and Tuesday, that my change soon) and being able to see progress of accomplishment being done every single day is very rewarding. Thank you so much for your card.

Thank you u/31theories for the Christmas card. I’ve actually had an argument with my girlfriend the past couple days that I won’t acknowledge that it’s Christmas time until she’s with me. Though secretly I’ve already started seeing the joy and the lights and festive times because they are so close to being ahead. I loved all the artwork on the front of the envelope, you truly are an artist!

Thank you u/robusto_esplendido, first off the way you write your Reddit name like you’ve written it a thousand times, I can totally relate to that, so maybe when I get it wrong from reading it, you’ll understand. Thanks for the Upper Cahquamenon Falls postcard. I haven’t been to a new waterfall site this year. I keep telling myself I need to go to the one that’s located close to my mother’s house in West Virginia, yet another month has passed without getting to live that experience. I’m being a bit of the bum as the colder climate moves in and I don’t want to go out as much. Those darn shorter days makes 6pm feel like it’s midnight. I’ll be heading up to the Lower Mitten on Saturday, and very much looking forward to it, but only for Saturday & Sunday. Stay safe up there.

Thank you u/Tigerlady13 For the Christmas card. It is the second to be placed above my Fireplace. I’ll adding them this year. It should be a wonderful picture come the end of the December that I’ll post. I’ll try my best to tag you to it so you can see it. I’m looking forward to the Christmas pictures full of six foot distance and full on Facemasked smiles. Stay safe and thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Thank you u/summerjess for my first Merry Christmas postcard. A little early need you to get over her for it to officially be that holiday to share. I’ve got a playlist dedicated, waiting for my lead singer to come and spice up all the old Christmas songs. Love you, baby.

Thank you u/work_n_Depression (I’m going to need help with this one, it was torn on the bottom. For the impossible coloring challenge. I’m old sk0ol cool and still use coloring pencils and I’m guaranteed to shoot out of the lines with this challenge. I hope your cleaning was as successful as mine was. My next challenge will be starting tomorrow, and I look forward to it totally. I hope you have an amazing week, you’re the best, and I absolutely adore your handwriting with the arrows. (:

Thank you u/IndieGal_60 for the thank you postcard featuring a neat little fox. Causing Laughter is my favorite thing in the world. I’m glad you found the same humor I found in turning a card I doubt I would be able to use right away into something I could definitely use immediately. You’re birthday sounded awesome! I’m super jealous! Look forward to everything I ever receive from you, and love sending you mail. To mannnyyyy more (:

Thank you u/suzette393 for the awesome stamp collection and the Giraffe postcard with a surprise bonus card! It’s nearly the end of the project here, we are down to our last five miles and then the next project will leave me with options between Michigan, Tennessee, Alabama, or Oregon. I’m unsure of my selection as of yet, but the PO box could be changing again, that’s alright, I love keeping you on your toes! Happy December to you, my friend.

Thank you u/Rsmith1807 for the Royal mail treatment. I’ve got a soft spot on my heart for all of us that care so much for the postal workers that are making our lives a little more entertaining by continuing to work for us. You’re the same as me, Internationally speaking, I just prefer to send postcards in envelopes. Considering it’s the same price for us, and it gives me more room to write on the card. It’s a beautiful sunset, great job on grabbing such a great shot. I bet that’s a little challenging finding those perfect colors to match that gorgeous sky. I’m glad that you’re safe even if your stuck in your flat. Keep your sanity and keep the brush moving (:

Thank you u/summerjess for literally blowing up my mailbox this month, if the mods only knew how much mail you sent me, you’d already probably have a black envelope (just kidding) I loved all the Protect the USPS postcards you sent me. I’m sure we aren’t out of the water yet, but hopefully more and more people continue to buy all the stamps that were purchased during the social media campaign. See you soon!

Thank you u/slina27 for the JFK & First Lady postcard. Great Depression has always been a soft spot for me. I love reading about it and learning through the eyes of the authors of the hardships and the overcoming stories of surviving during those times. The coolest place I’ve ever visited, woah, now that’s a little bit of a challenge. I will tell you that I went to one of the concentration camps in Poland, when I went to visit the start of my family roots. It was an absolute challenge to get through all that the museum offered and seeing the glasses from all the children that perished, was unbelievable. It definitely took my breath for a few seconds as I looked at the pile of glasses, thinking back to the time I was in grade school, and so few children wore glasses compared to the many that didn’t wear glasses.

Thank you u/Buttersushi for the awesome Find your Wild card. You sure know how to decorate a card and make it fun to open. As far as new shows, I’m late to this game, but I just finished season 1 of Mr. Robot and slowly working on second two right now, the show is a little challenging for me, as I’m one of the worst TV watchers ever, on the account that sitting still and watching tv is just an excuse for my brain to get bored and bouncy, and I start thinking of all the things I could be doing. I’m terrible. The best time for me to watch tv is in the bedroom, but honestly, ever since I bought a tv for the bedroom, I’ve probably turned it on only 3-4 times. But I’m slowly getting through it. I’ve got an incredibly long list of shows that’s been recommended to me, I will put Hamilton on it, and hopefully get to it, one of these days. Thanks for the card.

Thank you u/taylorltot (not sure if I got that one right) for the A grey Day artwork postcard. I’m always a fan of artwork cards, they truly give you a reason to look at something for long periods of time, envisioning what the artist was thinking that find day when he sat for a mission to complete a capture of history. Thanks for the random quote, I’m a fan. .And the song recommendation, I will check that out. Hopefully I can add to some of my songs. I have a mediation playlist that I’ve been quite heavy on lately as I’ve been dealing with some struggles at work, and it always relaxes me. I hope you had a great weekend, and an even better week ahead.

Thank you u/catnamedchicken for the homemade pink postcard. I’ve currently rocking a single plant, the Grump Tree Christmas tree from Trader Joes, it’s going to act as my Christmas tree this year. It’s actually quite hilarious. Got to love fishing, I grew up fishing in Missouri, tons of Catfish on the weekends from all those great fishing trips. Miss those days sometimes, enjoy as much of it as you can! PS I absolutely love the feather sticker on the back. It’s really neat.

Thank you u/welshfancy for the Halloween card. I don’t know about you, but that very lack of people buying Halloween candy made November 1st a buffet with 50% off candy of whatever you wanted, there was so much left over that I made have candy still available for next Halloween, haha. Loved the stickers, thank you so much for that super awesome Halloween card. I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving, and a wonderful Christmas.

Thank you Again u/TigerLady13 for the extremely challenging to read Happy Thanksgiving Card. This is an absolutely beautiful card, I love absolutely everything about it from top to the bottom, but Lordie did you put my eyes to a challenge trying to get the black ink off the dark golden background. But I will cherish they gorgeous card. You are the best!

Thank you u/dreameater_boku for the wonderful thank you card. You have enchanting handwriting. It’s wonderful the smallest of it that you fit such perfect straight lines on that odd, shaped card. Great connections can’t come without yourself; we are in this together!

I’m positive I’m misplacing a pile, but don’t worry, when I find it, it’ll be the first thing I do to give credit to the wonderful people that inspire me and everyone else. You guys are the best!
