Someone was concerned that this thread should be closed so I did close part 1 .

There are still a number of folks who have yet to mail out their cards, so we should have a busy couple of weeks.

My cards were mailed yesterday.

We received Bryan's package today.

One of Donna's favorite places to visit. She's been bugging me to take the family there over the holidays and now Bryan has added fuel to the fire. :rolleyes: Hmmm....now I'm thinking an 8 1/2 hour drive and oodles of $$$$ for a place to stay aren't sounding too bad.......

My cards are done and will be in the mail tomorrow. I'm just glad to beat the deadline! Thanks to all of you who have sent the great cards and info. Happy Holidays, Terry

Bryan's card and write up made it to the midwest today. Thanks - another new card.

I received Bryan's nice packet today. I have not had a chance to visit there but it sure looks like a fun place to stay.

I'm surprised the mail was able to be delivered today. We've had about 24" of snow the past 24 hours. Yuck! Time to plan another trip.

Gee, Door County in May can be a really pretty place. . . . . .

You ain't a kidding Dave. John has been plowing snow all day. Door County is looking prettier by the minute.

Brian's card and write-up arrived yesterday. Nice card and a great enclosure. Thanks!
Maybe if I practice I can do one of those (instead of just scarfing up a bunch of brochures)!

Lorie, maybe you should change the name of your town from Sandy to Snowy????

Was up at Eagle Bluff yesterday...far from being very beautiful, dark gray and extremely windy. It is also very brown. Not a whole lot of snow anywhere up here... Lorie, feel free to send some snow our way, I want to go take some pics of the lights from the water, and we are going to need some cold to get out there...

If Lorie (or anyone) is looking for a 'snowy' place to move to, there are lots of choices in the USA:

Snow - AR KY MI MO OK
Snow Hill - AL AR FL IN (2) NJ TX (2) VA WV TN CT MD NC (3)
Snow Camp - NC
Snow Lake AR
Snow Shoe PA
Snows Hill TN GA
Snow Corner ME
Snows Corner FL WI
Snow Junction SC
Snow Settlement ME
Snow Spings GA
Snow Spring GA
Snow Town SC
Snows Mills PA

Do I feel a game coming on here? Check it out here Name Game

I didn't see one "snow" city name for Utah. Like Sue said...I should change our city name from Sandy to "Snowy".

We've had 3 feet of snow at our house the last four days with more to come.

Recieved cards from Terry and Larry today.

I've seen the light that Larry send but didn't pick up a card when I was in the area so that was a nice addition today.

And I love the before and after cards from Terry. Great idea!

Geez, SHirin must get her mail about the same time we do! Also received cards from Larry & Terry. Terry gave us a real nice set of views of the light she chose - very neat way of doing things.

The other Larry (that's me) just finished stuffing, labeling and stamping his envelopes. They will be in the mail tomorrow.

Not everyone will receive the same card. They are all of the same subject, but there are twelve different cards sent to the twenty-four recipients in this exchange.

Wel, Larry, you know the rules - the Forum Moderator should be receiving a sample of every card sent out . . . . . . .

Larry R's and Terry's envelopes arrived here today as well, more great cards, thanks to both!

I also received Larry's and Terry's card packets today. Thanks for the nice cards of 2 lights I haven't seen yet.

Thanks to all for the great cards received.My cards are in the mailbox and will post tomorrow.
I almost guarantee that you don't have this card!
Oh well I could be wrong about that!HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL
JoAnn

I received cards from Terry and Larry this week. Great cards -- new to my collection. I have not seen these lighthouses either.

Happy New Year!

Tammy

Received Larry N.'s card today. Have several of this "lighthouse" but this is a new one for the collection, a nice reminder of that trip you guys made for a sandwich! Thanks.

I also received Larry's card today, another new one for my collection.

Thank you.

I received JoAnn's card today. I believe this is the first time this light has been used in any of the exchanges I have participated in.

Cards going out tomorrow! Phew! Finally!

JoAnn's card arrived here today. It sure is a first for me of that lighthouse. Thanks, JoAnn!

JoAnn's card made it to UT the same day as NY. Thanks JoAnn for a new card and lighthouse that I haven't seen before.

Hi All,
Just a quick note to let you all know that my envelope will be very late because of a broken water pipe in the attic. The envelopes were almost finished but are now in a box in a storage pod on the front lawn. When my house is livable again I will get them out quickly.
Judy (still smiling despite everything)

Thats just awful Judy! I hope your house is fixed soon. I know I will enjoy your card whenever it arrives, no hurry.

Suzanne Murphy

What a bummer Judy. I hope your house gets put back together quickly. I'll enjoy your card whatever time frame it arrives.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune Judy. Hopefully things will dry out soon. If the cards are little crinkly we'll understand.....

Mine finally went out today. Not everyone got the same card though! I thought I had enough, but for some reason, I ran short!

Sorry for the delay - it will never happen again! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Received Randy's card today. New view of a light we have seen cards from previously. Interestingly, his normal card mailed at the same time did not show up.

Normal card? Is Randy a normal type guy? Could have fooled me.

Hopefully when his cards arrive here the mailbox won't be frozen shut. After a low here last night of -16 we rose all the way up to a high of -2 and now it's headed downward again.

Mombo--

Kick the wind up to 20 mph and it will be like sitting on the bluff overlooking Lake Superior at Split Rock...

Of course all things considered I'd rather be in Key West

We've now had 44 consecutive hours of 0 or below, currently -3. God only knows what the wind chill is but the wind's supposed to increase tonight. Think I'll save Split Rock for another time!

Randy's offering for this exchange arrived today, thanks!

Randy's cards (one in an envelope and one not) arrived today and the extras! Nice cards and brochures. I hope to visit St. Augustine in 2005.

I think I forgot to acknowledge Jo Ann's card. I still haven't seen that light despite several trips to Washington. Maybe some day.

Mombo, I'm really glad that really cold air missed Minnesota this time! We don't have much snowcover at the moment, and I didn't cover my roses. We did have a brief cold spell with temperates below zero earlier this month. Keep warm!

Tammy

We're a bit late and for that we apologize. Our cards are going in the mail tomorrow.

Received Tom & Joyce's card today. As I knew it would be, a great card of a very pretty light. Though this light is fairly well known, you don't see too many cards of it.

Tom and Joyce's envelope made it's way to snowland yesterday. What a lovely card and extras. Tom you are just too clever!!! Thanks guys!

Thanks Tom and Joyce for a very nice postcard! You did a great job.

Tammy

Today's mail brought a nice card from Roxie. I especially like the notecard it came in! Thanks Roxie, nice idea.

I also received Roxie's very nicely done card today. I really liked the old time picture she included in her letter.

Roxie, thank you for the nice postcard and card.
