Hello it's me !

Yes,  to my many (12) followers

I haven't posted here in awhile- no shit right?   I haven't been taking any pics lately.. so if I post a photo it is an old one ( from 6 months ago) 

My camera is probably obsolete now- it's huge so taking it around is a chore .

Ishi is still coming around- and now I also have a white cat named Antigone and a white grey patchwork? cat named Oblio

If you haven't watched The Point do so and you'll know where I got the name Oblio from :)

Ok that is enough chit chat.

Ishi

This is Ishi, it took me a long time before I was able to pet him.. He still will never be a lap cat but he's learning to trust again.. Ishi means rock/stone in Japanese

More Worst cards






On Postcrossing I asked people to send me the card that they thought was their worst one. This is the result.

Worst Postcards

 Here are some of the early worst postcards I have received. 

In Postcrossing I made a post asking for people's worst PC's .. These are some of them.. Have a bunch more to show!

Antigone




This is one of the cats that comes around - She belongs somewhere- but she likes to come and sit with us.    She has extra toes and knows she is special.   Meet Antigone

Downtown Postoffice


This is the downtown post office where I live- It's the one I love to go to - I really do not know the history of it- I'll find out and get back to you.
Ok I am back, I went to the library and looked at old articles about Bradenton Post Offices ( There was nothing about the one where I actually get my mail. The one above is my favourite one. 
It was opened for business Jan 2nd 1937- It is one of the few building with a basement around.. Some of the boxes are the original bronze combo locks ( later they added the key locks also. The walls are the original dark oak in certain area. The office area upstairs has 9 Oak captains chairs from the 30's original PO.  Next time I go in I'll ask to see the basement :) 
In Postcrossing I asked for your worst postcard- the one that sits in your drawer or box that you think no one wants.  Send it my way- I will send you a not so bad one back.
