HISTORICAL ADVENTURES, Due July 26, 2019

Adventures

My Adventure cards are done. I have p-med vicki z's address. With the exception of Shirley Temple's house these are all places I have been. Mammoth Cave was spectacular, but damp and a bit claustrophobic. Biltmore House was gorgeous and overwhelming and made me think this country may need more socialism, Pipe Spring made me sad and discouraged. They all made me think, which is what travel is for.

FAB cards, Betsyg.
Thank you for your comments on each ATC.
I just sent you my address via PM.
I am looking forward to seeing your cards in person.
Thanks for posting.
 
Got it, Thanks! They will go out this afternoon. It was great to use some of the brochures that are cluttering up my house!
 
I really like the Shirley Temple house. I like her. I even did a lip sync of her in high school On the good ship lollipop and animal crackers in my soup. I looked enough like her to pull it off.

That is so adorable.
Wish I could have seen you doing your lip sync.
That sounds fantastic.
 
Even tho' I was born in Hollywood and grew up in So. Cal., the Shirley Temple House is one place I've never been. Actually, Betsyg, the only place in your cards that I *have* been to is Mammoth Cave, and claustrophobic indeed! Also rather unnerving when the guide turned out the lights to show us what pure darkness was! (And I have to agree with you about Biltmore House and *more* socialism would do us good in the U.S. ;) )
 
As of today, July 24th, cards still NOT received from Donncr and Betsyg.
Since due date is day after tomorrow, January 26, I am concerned about your ATCs reaching me on time.

Betsyg, you said your cards were in the mail 7/16.
Mail transit (domestic) does NOT normally take this long to reach me. May I please ask you to double check that your cards were mailed.
Please don't take offence, but sometimes folks put their mail "out to be mailed" at work, and mail is not picked up, or mail is given to a spouse, who leaves it in the car or in his/her briefcase. Please double check.

Donnacr,
You said, on July 6, that your cards were already mailed. Since it is almost 3 weeks since then, I am concerned.
I will continue to watch for your cards.

I have also sent a PM to both of you in the event that you did not read this post.

My cards were definitely mailed on the 6th. Cards for Evalila's 'Fish swap' were mailed on the same day, at the same box and they arrived on the 16th.
I give up as far as trying to work out what the various postal services do with our mail - the only consistent thing is their inconsistency :wacko:
 
Thanks for your response, Donnacr.
Your cards often take 3 weeks, and I will continue to watch for them.
There are still a few days before "deadline", and I often wait over the weekend, just to be sure, so if the cards arrive by Monday, we should be fine.

Again, thanks for confirming mail date!
 
My cards went into the mail on the 16th, what the post office has done with them since is anyone’s guess. I hope they turn up. Please swap on the day you planned to and return my cards, if they ever turn up.
 
Thanks for your feedback Betsyg and CastleQueen5, as well as Donnacr and Betsyg.

There are still two days before "deadline", and I often wait over the weekend, just to be sure, so if the cards arrive by Monday, we should be fine.
Thanks everyone for your feedback.
 
I don’t mind waiting either, if need be. And for years I’ve suspected the postmaster general of having a massive collection of ATCs, which is why ours go missing. :twitcy:
 
Thanks, AP...;)

No mail again today
I even had a little chat with the postmaster to see if they were behind on sorting or something......
I'll check again tomorrow, and Monday.
 
Donnacr,
Your cards have arrived.
They are fantastic.
I usually figure 3 weeks for your cards to arrive, but these took longer, so I will work that into my estimated arrival time.
Thank you for including a hostie card.

Betsyg,
Your cards are still missing.

I am going to start swapping out, but since it usually takes me a day or two, Betsyg, your cards may still arrive.
I will keep you posted.
 
Thanks for telling me vickiZ. I am already working almost a month ahead of the calendar - it makes it very confusing trying to discuss dates with someone when you are mentally in next month. :wacko:
 
Rats! Send them back to me if and when they turn up. I will post them in the available gallery. Or maybe in the Strayed category like James James Morrison’s mother.
 
My cards came back to me in today’s mail with “unable to deliver, unable to forward” sticker. I must have used a wrong address. I will post the cards as available for trade. let me know if you would like to trade! Double rats!
