Comment: Thank you for the pumpkin chunk! I don't care for the pumpkin flavor, but my husband does and so does our dog. We fill a kong (a dog toy) with canned pumpkin and freeze it!

Comment: Hi Rick! Love Halloween 🎃! My niece loves everything pumpkin, me not so much. I bake a pumpkin bar with cream cheese icing that is so good. Treat or Treaters on Halloween are my favorite, love all the kids in their cute costumes. Hayrides at the pumpkin farm is also my fave. Spring & Fall are the best seasons. Don’t like really hot weather, I’ve been to Phoenix many times, former semi driver. I can still feel how hot the grab bar was jumping out of the cab. We hauled tires and had to roll them out of the back of the trailer, really hot! Thanks for the Chunk and the really nice message. Take care & Happy Thanksgiving ~ Judy

Comment: Thank you so much for the AMAZING Kawaii Halloween card!! Yes, you picked the perfect card for me and I love how you decorated it! Its going in my journal. My favorite Halloween tradition is watching Garfield's Halloween Adventure after the kids and I get home from trick or treating every single year! It reminds me of my childhood lol.

Comment: What a fun postcard and postage stamps! To answer your question, I just recently joined a women's spirituality group that meets at a Unitarian Universalist Church twice a month. They follow the Wheel of the Year which is what I am also interested in. Before this I attended a few group rituals and celebrations through an awesome pagan shop in Phoenix, AZ (I lived in Phoenix for 18 years before moving to ME last year). If you haven't heard of Fantasia Crystals in Phoenix, check it out! Love that place!

Comment: I thank you for the cool Halloween PC. Your family must be great, mine not so much as they aren't as accepting about me being a witch, Oh well. I really don't care what those people think, I just wish they were more openminded. I think it's grand that you are working on getting together a travel altar! What a great idea that is! I would have never have thought of it. I do have a travel smudging kit, though. My plans for Samhain are still up in the air. I have a couple of ideas though. What are your plans? Happy Samhain to you!

Response: Hey Tish! I'm so that you you thought it was cool. I enjoy sending stuff that I think people with like and that comes from the heart. I leave for camping early tomorrow morning (SO EXCITED). I hope that you have a great weekend and that we swap again soon. Best, Rick!

Comment: Love Pretzels too... Haven't bought any for years. I do like to eat regular ones along with a Glass of Cold Milk...I want to make some myself...My fav. indulgences is Hot Fudge Sunday with pecans. or Heath Candy Bars!! Thank you for writing on the Postcard something other than Hello !!! !
Response: You have to get, or better yet make, some pretzels (I too want to do that, just never make the time). Ooohh, hot fudge...I do love that stuff too. I'm happy to have been able to swap with you and hope that our 'postal paths' cross again soon. Best, Rick!

Comment: Thank you for your little chunk PC! I've lived in Washington for around 35 years, now. I miss Arizona, though. Washington is a lovely state and I like being able to visit the ocean and the beach areas of the Sound, something that I couldn't (of course) do in Arizona, but it has its own unique beauty and there are mountainous, green areas there, too.
Response: I have to say that I'm very envious. WA is such a beautiful place. When I was driving around, I felt that it's a major city in the woods. Sure, I was not in Seattle proper, but the outskirts like Belleview, Redmond, etc. What I'm come to learn with age, is that every place has its beauty...you just have to stop and take a moment to appreciate it. Best, Rick!

Comment: Thank you so much for the Western Tanager postcard, complete with matching stamp! The PO didn't cancel the stamp, so the picture is nice and clear, too. :) Sounds like you had a great camping trip. How cool to see one of these beautiful birds in the wild!
Response: My pleasure. I was looking for a special stamp, and was shocked to find that I had a matching one! I'm so happy you noticed it and liked it. It's a joy to make something special, but the real reward is when the recipient notices. Keep bird watchin'!! Best, Rick!

Comment: Hi Rick! I hope it has cooled down out there in the desert. If it gets in the mid 90’s here it is too hot for me. I’m a former semi driver and we went to Phoenix often hauling tires from here in Ohio. I remember it was so very hot in the trailer rolling out the tires, don’t miss that at all. I really do miss seeing all of the beautiful landscapes, I’ve been to 48 of our 50 states. Missed Hawaii, no bridge and Alaska, too far. Take care ~ Judy P.S. Love the vintage triple Yahtzee Chunk! Thanks so much!!
Response: Thanks for such a nice response! Semi-truck driver? Wow! The amazing things you've probably seen! I'm envious. I hope that you make it AK and HI. I haven't been to either, but hope to someday. HI seems like it would be fun, but between the two, I'd choose AK....it has such majestic landscapes. Best, Rick!

Comment: Thank you for the Dolly Parton Card. I haven't tried the mixes only because I have not been eating many sweets as I have been diagnosed as type 2 diabetic which I control with diet. But I love the card as Dolly is one of my favorite country singers and has been for many many years.

Comment: Hi Rick-Always nice swapping with you!! Thank you for thnking of my like of B&W for this chunk!! Even the stamp is so cool!! My 6 year old granddaughter commented on that!! So this year our National Park trip is coming up in early Sept. Hoping for some cooler weather than TX. We’ll B splitting our week between Shenandoah NP in VA and New River Gorge NP in West VA. The one in W VA is fairly new. It’s not in any of the books we have but looks absolutely beautiful and has great reviews!! Thanks for asking!! Hope you’re doing well and have had a good summer!!
Response: I'm glad you liked it! A lot of the fun is putting it together, but it's extra special to hear that the recipient liked it! Shenandoah NP is supposed to be beautiful, beyond compare I hear - especially if you'll get to see some of the fall colors. I don't know too much about River Gorge NP, but I'm sure you'll find beauty there too. If you think about it, DM me and let me know how it was...I'd love to hear about it. Best, Rick!!

Comment: Rick, thank you for the horned bear PC -I really like the very detailed drawing! The eclipse was great!! After days of cloudy predictions, the sun shined with a few wispy clouds, so viewing was excellent….u til just before totality when a big cumulus covered the sun & threatened to block the actual total eclipse. Ppl were on waiting scared to exhale…but then the cumulus drifted and we got to see the whole effect: it for dark like twilight , auto lights came on, the temperature dropped about 10-15°, birds quieted but roosters crowed, and you could hear ppl all over lahhh”ing & applauding….a really fun communal experience. It didn’t seem to last r.5 minutes though; more like 1 minute. Dunno if that was b/c of cloud? Anyway, it was excellent!
Response: I'm envious that you were able to have such an amazing experience and glad that the couldn't didn't ruin the experience. I love to swap with you and look forward to our next exchange. Best, Rick

Comment: Thank you for the woodpecker postcard. I do like them and we get several here on our farm in Nebraska. Downy woodpeckers like the suet we put out. Sometimes get a Pilated woodpecker on a half dead tree the tire swing is on. Thank you
Response: Very cool. It's too hot in AZ (even some days in winter) to put out suet...it just melts in our heat. I wonder if there's another food that they might eat. I need to do some research. Best, Rick

Comment: Thank you for the crispy chunk and communication about it. I'm generally a purist, won't even eat the store bought ones because all I taste is preservatives. A couple decades ago I was known for my vegan peanut butter version around Portland, OR (named Ludacrisps by a friend) though I prefer the original myself.
Response: Agreed, the store bought ones are bad, really bad, I never eat those. Love the "Ludacrisps" name, that's epic! Best, Rick!

The postmark is on the picture side of the postcard which is excellent - the front shows where it hails from and has the seasonal holiday postmark greeting, and the vintage stamps on the back are unmarred. Nicely deco'd back, too. Have a wonderful Christmas!

But when I do make them, I donate them to Operation Gratitude (OG). OG makes care packages for those serving in our military and I wanted to find a way to thank those that protect the US. OG does accept letters and thank you notes if you don't have time to make bracelets. Just another way to give back. Take care and keep on swapping...

I don't shop bookstores much these days but my go to is Half Price Books in Concord at the Willows shopping center. It is also the only place I've found postcards in this area but it's just a small spinning rack on the counter. They do also have some postcard books mainly in their stationary section but I found a book of shoe postcards in the clothing/fashion section so you just have to search. Also friends of the Pleasant Hill Library have a new store by the mall. I haven't checked it out yet.

At work there would always be a huge communal altar, and sometimes I´d make a small one at home.. My favorite part was going to the market and seeing all the DotD wares for sale—fresh flowers, papel picado, sugar skulls and other seasonal edible things, etc.—and smelling the awesome incense! That is truly a feast for all the senses.

Patrick Stewart is a gift to the fandom, and so is Picard. * Spock and Data are both awesome, but Spock spends his life trying to come to terms with his humanity whereas Data embraces whatever humanity he can get his hands on. Also, Data has a cat.
Response: DS9...nice. I didn't watch much of that series, just select episodes that my friends curated for me. Totes agree on Shatner/Kirk. I love the take on Spock and Data, you hit the nail on the head. Data is my favorite, but I do like Spock a lot too. Oh ya, Spot rocks!

Comment: Thanks for the cool Monopoly chunk o'cardboard. The most valuable stamp I ever saw sold by my boss was a red monkey stamp from PRC. That was a few thousand dollars. The most expensive stamp I've ever seen is also the rarest. The British Guiana one cent magenta which is on display at the National Postal Museum in Washington DC. They also have a block of the Inverted Jenny which I think of as the coolest stamp. It is a movie star and very important plot point of Brewster's Millions with Eddie Murphy. Another notable stamp that we had for sale is the Penny Black. The first postage stamp ever issued.
Response: Wow! So cool. I got one of the reprinted Inverted Jenny ones for my collection...just as a conversation piece. I'm not a hard core stamp collector, just a dabbler, but it is really fun. Thank you for sharing! Best, Rick

Comment: Hi Rick- Thanks for taking the time to read my profile & sharing your National Park interests with me too. We actually just returned from Glacier Nat’l Pk. We chose to stay on the east side. We did not know they would have such a rough winter when we made our reservations a year ago. That’s the only way you can stay in the park there, by making them that far in advance. They said it was one of their worst winters. We could not drive on the road that goes all the way through the park due to unmelted snow. That sounds so crazy to me in June coming from TX!!! The weather felt great to us in the 60’s & 70’s. But to answer your question my favorite park has been Arches. I love Utah!! Everything there is so pretty w the orange rock. Capitol Reef is also in Utah & is a hidden gem!! My husband loves Grand Canyon!! He has done several rim to rim trips with buddies of his. They also did one as a father daughter trip which was one to remember!! I could go on & on about the parks!! So much beauty in the USA!!! Thanks for your thoughtful card & Happy Crafting!!
Response: National Parks are the coolest, right?!? We ran onto some snow/road closure issues when we visited the Great Smoky Mountains NP. The Newfound Gap road was close and we couldn't get to some scenic areas of the park. No worries, the Smoky Mountains have no shortage of scenic areas. Arches is on your list, as are all of the UT NPs. Great Basin (NV) is on my short list to visit, but it's hard to get to (towing a trailer from AZ...and that's how I'd like to stay there). Soon enough though, soon enough. I'm envious of the GC Rim to Rim. My wife and I did Havasupai several years ago (from the Southern Rim on the Western end of the park to the Native American Havasupai village on the canyon floor, and it was magical. I'd like to do it again, but it's closed to the public now. Anywhoo, happy swapping with you and I hope our paths cross again! Best, Rick

Comment: I feel sure I got this chunk, however cannot find it.
Response: I'd be lying if I said that's never happened to me. For what it's worth, it was a a chunk of a 6-pack holder of Pumpkin Lager from Lakefront Brewery. I'm not much of a drinker, but I do like a good pumpkin brew in the fall (even though it takes me about 4 months to finish the pack!). Best, Rick!

Comment: Thanks for the great card! Looks like an illustration from a picture book from my childhood. :) I never did a lot of trick or treating as a kid, or with my kids. Now "trunk or treat" seems to be the popular thing - decorating the trunk of your car and having out in a parking lot for the kids to go around and visit. Interesting idea! Hope you have a great holiday. :)
Response: Too funny. We've never done the 'trunk or treat' thing, but I'm aware of the practice. It sort of 'came to be' as our son was nearing the teenage 'phase out' of trick-or-treating. Seems fun! Makes me wonder....do the fancy cars have the 'full-size candy bars' just like the fancy houses do? : )

I like audiobooks so I can read to/from work/lunch (have 2-3 of those I'm in the middle of right now), and several physical books as well.

Comment: Hello there Rick! 😀 I thank you very much, for the Black bear PC and your so nice note! That's pretty neat, you found this PC at a General store while camping! I love these Fact PC's though, telling about the animal. We have black bears & also brown bears here in Canton, PA. We live in a rural town, atop a mountain & see esp. the black bears. They are very irritating when it comes to my bird feeders. I don't leave them up at night anymore. Because they eat up all the bird seed and then destroy the feeder, gr-r-r! I love the bears, don't get me wrong. But dislike them when they ruin my things. Oh, Had one destroy our outdoor food freezer once and they ate up all our loaves of bread ( 10 of them ) and all the frozen meats as well. All that money down the drain, ho hum!
Response: Wow! What crazy stories! I've seen bears (and deer) eating from bird feeders on YouTube...I would have never thought they'd do that! Too crazy! I wish you the best with your "bear-proofing" Deb. ~ Rick

I personally don't have a preference between vintage and modern pin ups. I really like Suicide Girls, for modern though. I agree, finding vintage ones can be hard. Most of the vintage postcards I've found feature real women instead of illustrations. I received a few vintage style postcards in swap, and I used one for this swap. You can find pin up style postcards on Etsy. They would feature the artist's prints, but many artists do draw their own version of classic pin ups.

Response: Thank you. I'm so happy that you looked into Yule and found some interesting stuff. At the end of Yule (it asts several days), on New Year's Eve, we burned the Yule Log in our backyard fire pit. We each wrote down our resolutions/intentions of paper and burned them in the fire. 2020 was an odd year, and 2021 seems that it will be better, but still not "normal", so we wanted to try out some new things. I wish you the very best this year. Stay safe and healthy, Rick

Comment: Hi Rick, thank you for this recycled postcard! My husband works for the EPA. But we have not switched to bamboo tp yet! The best thing I’ve experienced is a bidet toilet at a local restaurant it not only has a heated seat but it provides a wash and dry function that even blows dry the nether region! I laughed that I’d never leave the bathroom!! They’re pricey but imagine never having to buy tp again. How much do we spend on tp every year!
Response: Works for the EPA? So cool! The bamboo is a little 'different', but it's not that bad. We try to do what we can to make a difference in the world, eco-friendly products are just a small step in making the world a better place. We got a bidet in April too. I like it, but the blow dryer not so much. It seems to start out fine, but as the heated air ramps up it's less than comfortable. Best, Rick

Comment: My goodness, you have itty bitty handwriting! Thanks for the card. The recipe looks interesting. But what is "two packets of italian seasoning". A packet? I don't think I've ever seen packets.
Response: Yes, I do! I always like to write a lot on PCs and tend to write small...the 0.28 nib on my pens helps out quite a bit! About the "two packets of Italian sesoning"...that was supposed to be "two packets of Italian dressing mix'. We didn't have those on hand, so my wife googled how to make your own from herbs/seasoning commonly on hand. We saw several YouTubers making the crackers (some called them "Fire Crackers" or "Swamp Crackers") and tinkered with the recipe a bit (we opted for a little more rec chili flakes). If you search the internet/YouTube, you'll find several variations. Some people used Ranch Dressing Mix, but we don't eat dairy. I like the crackers as I tend to want savory snacks, not sweet. I hope that you make them and that you find them a tasty as we do! Best, Rick

Big thanks also for using vintage postage stamps and the festive green-red decor you added to the back! Much appreciated!! To answer your Qs: I prefer photography, but the more illustrations I am exposed to, the more they’re “growing on me” 😂 I was just introduced to the photos first, so that’s sorta “all I knew”...oh, and my cards are from the postcard shows I’ve attended here in Florida. Seems there’s a lot of the “old timers” who collected them earlier, and now their kids are selling them off to dealers...there’s another reason to appreciate your wonderful family (they appreciate the lost art of sending a postcard still)!!! Best of holiday wishes to you and yours 🎄🎉 💕From me & mine 😉 🌺🤙🏽❤️ 12/9/2020 Card #2 of Nancy Sinatra was delivered today! It’s one-of-a-kind & a happy addition to my PC collection! I can’t believe it’s a photo of her wax figure though! OMG - it looks so real!

Comment: Thank you for the great pinup card! Better too much postage than not enough. :) May I ask what kind of pen you use?
Response: You're welcome! I like to play around with a lot of pens, but my favorite seems to be the Uniball Signo DX 0.38 - that's what I used to write the body. I used the Pentel Energel 0.3 to block the "Please Kindly Deliver" and a Pilot G-2 0.38 for the red/green. I find that the Signo provides the best 'flow' and is the smoothest on most papers. The Signo comes in a 0.28 (I really like ultra fine nibs), but I haven't used it yet (I have both the 0.38 and 0.5). Some people rave about the Zebra Sarasa (I have that is a 0.3 and 0.5), but it's not my favorite. Anyway, I'm glad that you liked the pin-up, it's not often that I get to send those. Best, Rick

Comment: Hi Rick, Thank you for your kind words. I also love your handwriting! I have a private board on Pinterest where I collect people's handwriting. I just love neat people write. I know Halloween is going to be different for so many people this year but I still wish you a good one.
Response: Pinterest handwriting board...GENIUS! I'm totally going to do that! Best, Rick

Comment: Thanks for the potato chunk! It is funny how foods from our childhood bring comfort and we have a hard time giving them up!! You also have wonderful handwriting!! Happy swapping!
Response: It IS weird how childhood food brings comfort...I still have the occasional 'mustard sandwich' (literally mustard and bread, nothing else) as I remember having them as snacks when I was young. Thank you for complementing my handwriting, that was very nice of you. It's funny, when I look at it all I see is room for improvement. You're very sweet.

Comment: Thank you very much for the cute skeletal Halloween card. I haven't had the chance to write yet. I've been so busy with doctor visits. I'm having my every 3 months radiation treatments. Next month, I will be chemo treatments. Somehow someway I'll get a letter to you.

Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the PC. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the compliment on my handwriting...you know how it goes, when I see my handwriting all I see is the need for improvement when others see the beauty. I greatly appreciate the compliment! Best!

Comment: Hi again! As I said before, both swaps came at the same time. First off, Thank you very much for joining my swap for this. Thank you for your note, the cute vampire card, and all the Halloween stickers. Loving them! Yes, sure we can correspond. But I hope you don't mind, That I write on a large note card. I used to pen pal from 1974 to 2008. I gave it all up, due to health & I needed to get that in order & I just couldn't force myself to go back to it, being a way from it for so many years. As I felt that I was tied to it & seemed like a chore after awhile. Because the pen pals were very demanding & expecting a letter within a week's time. I just couldn't do it. Now, It may take me a bit to get back you. if that doesn't bother you, then great!
Response: Too funny, I don't want to give a spoiler, but don't be shocked if you get a 3rd card from "Arizona". Anyway, I look forward to continuing our chat, I send you a direct message. Best, Rick.

I absolutely love it & your note as well. Will get to about what you wrote on the other swap, since you wrote about the same thing in the card too.
Response: My pleasure, I'm glad that you liked the PC I chose. We'll chat soon. Best, Rick.

I think a Nightmare before Christmas bathroom sounds AMAZING and I am totally stealing your idea of re-reading the Harry Potter books as book club style with my fam. Great idea !!! Another good idea is the 80s Halloween movies - stealing that idea as well :). Thanks for all the good tips !
Response: Great! We just finished the Half-blood Prince yesterday and started Deathly Hallows today. We're on track to finish the series by the end of the year! Best!

Comment: Wow! Thanks for the great letter! I look forward to trying the teas. I took a look at your profile and I think you're pretty cool too. Archie comics are the best! Do you remember the stuff they were trying in the 90's like Jughead's Diner, Jughead's Time Police, and Faculty Funnies?
Response: I do remember those spin offs, but I found that I was a traditionalist mostly enjoing the classic Archie, and Betty & Veronica. Some of the new spinoffs are pretty good too, I really enjoyed Afterlife and Vampironica I really appreciate swapping with you and wish you the best!

Comment: I had given all my HP books to my daughter, who "borrowed" them to a friend of hers, never to see them again! She bought herself a set, and I bought myself the hard copy set! They are not going to leave my sight again! lol. Love the books over the movies by far! Thanks for the card and washi! Have a magnificent day and happy swapping....
Response: That's a bummer that the books didn't return, but hopefully they opened someone else up to a whole new world of magic and reading.You have a great "falliday" season!

Comment: A Halloween pin-up girl?! My cup runneth over! And damn that's some slick handwriting! There's some Apache trout to be had in Arizona... but not Woods Canyon Lake. I ain't "nevah but nevah" caught anything there. The best trout fishing is further north in Arizona. My favorite trout fishing is actually in Montana around Bozeman and West Yellowstone.
Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it. When I saw that you like pin-ups, I knew that I had the perfect card. I've pulled trout out of Woods Canyon and Willow Springs, but only fishing off a boat..."nevah" from the shore! My favorite northern Arizona spot is Hawley Lake, but it requires a separate set of permits/licenses as it's on the WMAT reservation. Anywho, glad that you liked the card.

Comment: Cool card! Funny that series is my 1st leisure read too. Opened a whole world of book for me. I havent read in a while though unless you count Audible.
Response: I TOTALLY count audible (if I didn't, I'd barely "read" at all). Funny aside, I read an article a while back about a brainwave study...the study said that audio books stimulate the brain the same way reading text does. I thought that was cool and a great argument point for those that "don't think audio books are real books". BAM! How do you like them apples! Best, Rick

I met someone on postcrossing who has a child similar age and we have agreed to let them penpal. So you have to start them early, right?!! You have great penmanship too! It was nice to get a card that you can easily read the writing!! THat is always a plus! Thanks again so very much!
