I had to press my Postcard4Peace

before I could send it. I just sent it out today. Lets see if it reaches its destination.

As for postcards lets talk about Postcrossing.com

I have mailed out 6 cards now. 3 to Finland, 2 to Germany & 1 to Australia. All have been registered as having been received.

On Saturday night I returned home to find my first postcard...from Finland. It is a winter scene of a church & it is beautiful! As soon as I get it scanned I will post it here. Anytime now I should be receiving more cards in the mailbox from anywhere in the world.

On to other subjects.

Severe weather in AZ.

On Saturday morning about 1am our 143 day streak without rain came to an end. The town I USED to live in recieved 4 inches of rain. Where I live now recieved 2 1/2 inches of rain. It may not sound like much, but here in the desert the ground gets SO dry that it can't absorb the rain fast enough. That leads to flash floods. In our case, no flash floods affected us personally. We WERE on the way to visit my MIL & the wipers on the truck stopped working. It wasn't good, as we were on I-10 when this happened! We did get them working long enough to get into Phoenix. The second time they stopped working they didn't start again. Once we got to MIL house DH got the wipers worked back into a down position & applied RainX. IT was still raining cats & dogs 10 hours after we left our house, but the RainX worked so well that even the spray kicked up by semis didn't hinder our view out the front windshield. We stopped to get the mail out of the box & then nearly got stuck in mud once we left to road & drove onto our unlandscaped lot. DH had to put the truck into 4X4 mode to get us to the door. He got out of the truck & laid down a plank of plywood to minimize the mud tracked into the house. Then went back for the girls, handing them off to me at the backdoor. Sunday morning we couldn't leave because the car & truck would have become stuck in the mud & mini lakes all over our property. Today things were dry enough that we can come & go as we please. We still have several mini lakes around the house but nothing that requires a draw bridge to cross any longer.
