My mail just came and my stamps arrived.

I love them!!! There was a 1 and a half cent stamp. I never knew they ever made those.

There was a card that really touches me for some reason. It's a "Private Mailing Card". Like a postcard of today. Someone named Mary was inviting Bertha to lunch. It just makes me smile to think of two friends from so long ago getting together. The stamp is of of the Statue of Liberty. It's a 1 cent stamp and says "For Defense". The cancelation stamp says "Buy War Savings Bonds and Stamps". The date was Nov 16, 1943.

I'm saving that entire card in my scrapbook. I started loving old things like that when I started doing my family tree research. Just think, that card touches someone 60 years after it was written.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, KAREN!!

By the way, if you have any old picture postcards, I'd love some of them.
