Virtual Suntan

Let it be known by all that I have the best readers - ever!

I want to extend my thanks to all my online friends who have made it possible to make it through yet another winter. The Farmer and I are looking forward to the day that we can head a bit further south and only have to deal with three seasons, the winter being just a bit of cold and damp. But till then we have to find ways to push through the cold and snow.

This winter I accomplished this with your help. I even managed to get a virtual suntan. My vitamin D levels are at an all time high. You took me along with you, and for that I'm eternally grateful.

Most recently Becky (from West Virginia) took me to Nassau in the Bahamas. Woo hoo!!

I was happy to finally make it (albeit in my imagination) to the market in town. Last time I was there (for real) I was in my cruise ship cabin with Norovirus, down and out for three days!

The west coast contingent of my reader base took me to California at least five times and this was to places I'd never been before, like Newport Beach, Lake Tahoe, the Hearst Castle, and Mammoth Lakes.

Thanks Leslie and the other surfer girls!

Melissa took me on a tour of the farms and farmhouses near her home.

I saw the beautiful Pacific northwest - Seattle. Thanks Martina! I even went to GERMANY with Silke and Susan. Good thing I keep my passport up to date.

Yes, it's true, this was all postcard traveling but believe me when I say it really helps your state of mind. My sincere thanks for all the postcards which allowed me to escape this midwest winter.

I believe you! What great colors on those postcards, too. So how many more winters must you push through before you're in warmer climes?

I'm glad that you enjoyed your postcard trip to the beach and our other destinations. I've enjoyed the postcards that you've sent me too!
Here's to spring, soon to be knocking on our doors. I'm counting the days. :)
The first day of spring is also the anniversary of the day that I entered into wedded bliss with my hunk o' man, the nicest person in the whole world.
Life is good. Especially when spring is on the way!
Here's to good friends, lovely destinations, and the ability to share it all with each other!

Thanks for including my homemade postcard - it was fun to see it online. Right now all the trees are in blossom and the pastures are green, green, green where I am - spring is springing. Warmer weather will be here soon - hang in there!
