Of Giveaways and the Cotton Bowl

Well, it has been a busy week.  Lots of mail and house hunting for the Dodson clan. (more on that later)


So let's see, I have all of the cards labeled:

And got them all stamped:

The stack:

Now I don't know what possessed me to do this again but it's all coming together and I should have everything n the mail by Tuesday.  I have all of my international, Canada and Texas (cause Texas: It's like a whole other country) cards done.  Nice stack eh??

Ok now on with the show.  Our first card comes from Tallie (GMD) in Bellingham. Bremerton, Washington: Site of the U.S. Naval Shipyard, it is also the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula and the Hood Canal areas.

From Melinda (Swap-Bot), Lincoln & Civil War Legacy Trail: Although no actual civil War battles took place in Alton, the historic moments related to the Civil War are embedded in this city's rich historic past.  Take a trip along Alton's Lincoln & Civil War Legacy Trail to retrace the steps of a young Abe Lincoln to the final resting place for hundreds of Confederate soldiers.
