Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Commemorative Coin

by Renae November 6, 2022

A few weeks ago, my husband and I attended the International Living Bootcamp in Atlanta. What an inspiring time of learning about living, working, and retiring overseas! We learned about Panama, Ecuador, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and many other locations with thriving expat communities, lower costs of living, and opportunities to experience other cultures.

One of the vendors at the event offered opportunities to invest in gold and silver coins. As a promotion, they gave out this commemorative coin in honor of Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. I thought that some of you might like to see it.

I used my printer’s scanner to grab this image; the text is blurry, but you can see the coin well.

Here’s another image, this one taken with my husband’s phone camera. Not so good—you can see the text, but the coin looks off, which is why I ran it through the scanner.

Runway 5K at Asheville Regional Airport 2022

by Renae November 6, 2022

I’ve loved and feared airplanes my entire life, the fear flowing from a solid 20-year run of having plane crash dreams. I haven’t had (or remembered) a dream like that in many, many years. So maybe I’m free from the fear.

The love? It’s still there, strong as ever.

But if you’d have ever told me that I’d be ON an active runway, with planes taking off and landing right next to me, I’d have laughed! Yet that’s precisely what I was able to do by participating in Runway 5K at Asheville Regional Airport in October 2022.

I’m not a runner, although I do want to try Couch to 5K someday soon. So I came in close to last place in the race, which was a-okay by me! I was there to see the planes.

Here are a few images and a video from the event, and a link to a full photo gallery, including more videos!

Maybe next year, I’ll be able to RUN the event!

We arrived at sunrise.
Me with my husband; I was SO excited!
I’m glad my son JR was able to attend with us!
At the starting line!
The pose—and the poser


The real stars of the event were all of the airplanes taking off and landing during the event!

Like this one!

Here’s a gallery of photos and a few more videos from the event.

ENJOY!

P.S. I’d love it if you’d take a moment to comment so I know you’ve been here!

Asheville Today – AVLtoday

by Renae November 6, 2022

The best daily newsletter I’ve ever seen hails from the 6AM City group, which seeks to “engage local communities by creating new ways to consume, participate [in], and share local content.”

I’m subscribed to their Asheville newsletter, as well as their newsletter from Greenville, South Carolina, which is just about an hour away from us. But they also offer newsletters for many other cities in the United States.

When AVLtoday offered a subscription not too long ago, I signed up—that’s how valuable I find their content. Seriously, just take a look at some of the stuff on offer.

EVERY MORNING.

And now for the reason for this post! I received a card in the mail last week from AVLtoday to thank me for becoming a subscriber. I thought the card face was pretty cool, so I decided to share it here 🙂

Wonder what their careers are like?! 🙂

Christmas at Biltmore Estate, Asheville, NC

by Renae November 6, 2022

This is a marketing postcard, sent to me because I’m a Biltmore Estate Passholder. We joined last year thinking we’d have lots of opportunities to ride our bikes around the Estate, but it never happened. We did get to do Candlelight Christmas at Biltmore though, which is when we signed up. And we did visit the grounds several times during the year. But, alas, because it’s just too far for us to visit regularly (a 40-minute drive), I don’t think we’ll renew for 2023.

Christmas inside Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina

From the back of the card:

Discover how our Floral team created a ‘Winter Landscapes’ decor theme to honor the works of Frederick Law Olmsted, Biltmore’s landscape designer—plus insider details on the twinkling lights and firelit nights of Candlelight Christmas Evenings, our Holiday Happenings Guide for the season, and much more.

Santa Fe, New Mexico

by Renae November 6, 2022

My oldest son has long wanted to visit Santa Fe, New Mexico. His wish finally came true in October, 2022, when his girlfriend surprised him with a trip there for his birthday! He said that they walked along the very street you see in the image. He also said he was surprised that almost all buildings there are made of adobe. It’s a regulation, I guess.

Santa Fe, New Mexico

Interesting factoid: The vehicle in the image is NOT from the States, as that is not a U.S. license plate.

Official Postcrossing stamp from Germany

by Renae November 6, 2022

I’m pretty sure it’s been more than 10 years since I’ve posted on this blog. But I never forgot it! I always knew that someday, I’d be back. I love travel and my postcard hobby and learning about the peoples, places, and cultures of the world too much NOT to return!

What a delight, then, to mark my return with this official Postcrossing stamp from Germany, courtesy of a very kind Postcrosser who sent me this treasure while asking for nothing in return. Amazing! (I did send a little something ☺️)

First off, is the envelope, handmade from paper that talks about the Postcrossing stamp! Unbelievable! I’m already gobsmacked.

Official Postcrossing stamp from Germany—on a handmade envelope about Postcrossing!


Then, inside the envelope, I am gobsmacked further.

The backside of the postcard, with a kind note from Albrecht and an unused Postcrossing stamp from Germany!


The sender, Albrecht, actually attached an unused Postcrossing stamp to the postcard inside the envelope! Isn’t that unbelievably generous?!

The front side of the postcard has to do with Albrecht’s love of calligraphy and stationery—loves I share, as well.

Front side of the postcard

Collecting and sharing postcards is a passion of mine. I’d love to parlay it into a business. Maybe I’ll start a stationery subscription box, as my favorite service, Spotlight Stationery in the UK, is closing.

Or maybe I’ll simply be a travel blogger. Making my way around the globe, helping others coming behind me to do so as well. Time will tell. And I look forward to that story!

Kitten from Boxville Sur La Mer

Kitten from Boxville Sur La Mer

What a very cool postcard, which arrived in a package of five that I received in a swap! I looked it up online, and discovered that the image comes from a children’s book originally published in Japan called “The Kittens of Boxville” by writer and “kitten-house architect” Ryosuke Handa and photographer Yoneo Morita from Tokyo. You can check out the cuteness on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Kittens-Boxville-Ryosuke-Handa/dp/0811866882

Map card of Bulgaria

Map card of Bulgaria

 

Okay — this one is strange. It’s an official Postcrossing card showing a map of Bulgaria. But it comes from someone in Uzbekistan who, at the time, was vacationing in Bulgaria! Although the map card is neat, I sure would have liked to receive a card from Uzbekistan! 🙂

Please use the link in the right sidebar instead of the link at the upper right side of the page. My developer didn’t activate the link and, although I know a little HTML, and know which code I need to replace where, there’s too much “php” stuff in the code so I’m kind of afraid to mess with it. I’ll get fixed when I can but, in the meantime, must ask email subscribers to use the link at right. Thanks!

Etiquette of Home Exchange

by Renae May 8, 2011

Greetings, friends!

It has been so long since I have posted that I am almost ashamed! But life has been busy; I have not had time to scan and share all of the lovely postcards I have collected since I last wrote–and there are a lot!

One of these days I will do it. I am just not sure when.

But I did want to write about a topic of interest right now, which is the etiquette of home exchanges. Actually, since I have not yet actually done a home exchange, I am thinking more of the etiquette of requesting a home exchange.

My husband and I recently joined www.homeforexchange.com. We want to travel but find the cost prohibitive for our family of five. For example, do you know that, right now, round trip airfare to Munich (a place I’d LOVE to vist) is running about USD $1,400 per person? That comes out to USD $7,000 for a family of five. I don’t know about you, but that’s way too much money to spend on airfare alone.

A family outside of Paris recently wrote to us asking for an exchange this summer. While we would have LOVED to do so–PARIS!–airfare would have been the same as if traveling to Munich–$7,000. So, unfortunately, we had to decline. In my email reply though, I did ask if they would be interested in considering an exchange during other times–perhaps in the winter months when fares are lower, or maybe even Summer 2012, as I understand that fares may be lower if you book far out in advance.

However, to that proposal, I received no reply.

Another exchanger in Florida also wrote, asking to exchange homes this summer. The area was not one where we’d like to visit, so I proposed a possible three-way exchange: perhaps I could find someone in an area where we’d like to visit who wanted to visit Florida? Then I would stay in the 3rd party’s home; the third party would stay in Florida; the Florida party would stay in my home, which is what they wanted all along.

However, to that proposal, I received no reply.

I have also written to two parties myself asking about possible domestic exchanges this summer–one more than a week ago, the other yesterday.

However, to both proposals, I have not yet received replies. (I’m not as concerned about the proposal sent yesterday; it takes even me at least one full day to ponder a request and to reply!)

And this leaves me wondering about the etiquette of requesting and responding to home exchanges.

  • Is it not hospitable to respond to every request, even if the response is negative?
  • Is it not hospitable to respond to requests promptly, within three days or so?

The people making requests are trying to plan–if the dates and details can be worked out, there are airfares to book, travel plans to make, lots of planning and dreaming and scheming to do! 🙂

I don’t know about others, but I will not be offended if you cannot or do not want to take me up on my proposal. If you do not want to come to my area, or if you are otherwise engaged, just say so. But please, don’t leave me hanging. I sent my request to you in full readiness to start acting–now! 🙂

I think this is a reasonable request. And I think that perhaps home exchange websites ought to publish information to members so that they know to respond courteously and promptly to all requests.

But–since I know I can’t change the world, I will simply continue to do what I do and hope that others will follow my lead: I will respond to all requests promptly!

So if you’re interested in an exchange, please review our listing online–and then write!

Even if it is negative, I promise a prompt reply…. 🙂

Official card from Mauritius

A very pretty art card representing a local tree! I love it — all the way from Mauritius, “an island nation off the southeast coast of the African continent in the southwest Indian Ocean, about 900 kilometres (560 mi) east of Madagascar.” [Thanks, Wiki!]

Character stamps from Finland!

Character stamps from Finland!, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

I recently swapped with a lovely postcard collector in Finland, choosing a selection of cards from her very nice album. When the cards arrived, I was so pleased to see them in this envelope, with many interesting Finnish stamps worth keeping! I like the two stamps in the upper right corner, showing books and reading. And then are the character stamps, which come with little stickers that allow the sender to “dress up” the characters themselves! Very neat — I’d like to see more of these types of unusual stamps, as we have nothing like this in the U.S.

Inge Löök’s Old Ladies Celebrating a Birthday!

Inge Löök’s Old Ladies Celebrating a Birthday!, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

I love these cards 🙂 When I received my first from a penpal several years ago, she described the scenes as two old ladies enjoying each other and their golden years. She also said that she hopes to have a friend like that one day. And I have always wished that, too 🙂 So I was very pleased to find that a Finnish swapper had a collection of Inge Löök’s cards available! This one shows the old gals celebrating a VERY OLD birthday, with a gazillion candles on the gigantic cake 🙂 They are enjoying large mugs of beer, and lots of other yummy goodies as well 🙂 Looks like fun!

Cats, an oil painting by Anna Hollerer

Cats, an oil painting by Anna Hollerer, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

This card, received from a swap with a Finnish collector, was printed in Austria. I love cats, art cards and foreign languages, so this card triply appealed to me! The titles of the books are: My Friend the Dog, Cats, Cats, and Big Cats.

 
I could not quickly find information about Anna the artist, but I did discover that she has painted many cat scenes that now appear on postcards! I will have to add her cat cards to my wish list 🙂

Inge Löök’s Old Ladies Waiting for the Mail!

by Renae October 5, 2010
Inge Löök’s Old Ladies Waiting for the Mail!, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

I love this card, because it’s just like me 🙂 The grannies are sitting by the door, with their clock and tea and munchies, just waiting to see what fabulous goodies the mailman will bring! 🙂 And look how delighted they are with today’s delivery! I have felt that way many times, myself 🙂

 

 
This text on Inge Löök comes from Click here to view. I also found the information in Finnish on Wiki, but the translation did not come out so well. This, however, is written in English 🙂 “Inge Löök (Ingebor Lievonen) is an artist and gardener from Pernaja, Finland. She was born in Helsinki 1951. Her artistic name Löök means onion in swedish. She graduated from high school 1972 and got her gardening degree in 1974 and graduated 1979 from the Arts and Crafts University in Helsinki as a graphical designer. She worked as an gardener for six years but then her art work became a full time job. She has drawn over 300 postcards, half of which are Christmas themed. She also designed more than 800 greeting cards and illustrated numerous exlibris book-tags. She has illustrated various childrens and young adults books and Christian literature and schoolbooks, couple of CD-covers and magazines especially gardenig magazines. She has worked for different publishers in Finland. ** The anarchistic grannies ** She is best known for her anarchistic grannie figures. Her first Grannies illustrations where born in 2003. The motto of the grannies is “Time is not money and spending it isn’t a sin.” At first her grannies were rejected by the publisher when she offered them as Valentines Day cards ( commonly known as ystävänpäivä friends day in Finland). Pirjo Laakso noticed the grannies at a postcard fair and they were included in the Paletti card manufacturers prints. Then the grannies started their world-wide success. In a couple of years grannies have sold more than hundred thousand copies. They represent a humorous approach to the world. In spring 2008 a book and a wall calendar was published called “Paljain jaloin mummojen puutarhassa”- barefooted at the grannies garden. Grannies have now appeared in various prints and textiles and Finland has used them in stamps. The visual appearance of the grannies comes from the artist’s childhood and the old ladies who lived in her neighborhood. Grannies picture a gentle caricature of the artists own attitude towards life.”

Turning Torso, Malmo, Sweden

by Renae October 5, 2010
Turning Torso, Malmo, Sweden, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

What a very unusual building — and since I love unusual buildings, I could not resist this card 🙂

From Wiki: The Turning Torso is a deconstructivist skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden, located on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait. It was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 feet) with 54 stories. Upon completion, it was the tallest building in Scandinavia, the tallest residential building in the EU and the second tallest residential building in Europe, after the 264-metre (866 ft)-high Triumph-Palace in Moscow.

Reindeer in Kaamos-time, Lapland

by Renae October 5, 2010

Reindeer in Kaamos-time, Lapland, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

I love this card. The image is serene, beautiful.

I also love what I learned about Kaamos-time while doing research.

“Kaamos-time is not the coldest time of year. The winter’s most freezing part begins at the end of Kaamos, the time of year when people in northern Finland live in a dim blue twilight. There are only four hours of light during the day. It is not pitch dark but visibility is almost as good during bright moonlit nights as during the days, because the moon light shimmers on the snow and reflects off of it. As well as the snow reflecting light the winter sky is lit with northern lights.

Animals living up north during winter have adapted to this lack of sun light. The scantiness and total lack of natural light cause more problems for humans than animals. Constant darkness has many effects on the human mind and body; some tire easily, some lose their sleep rhythm and others crave sweets. On the other hand, Kaamos is a perfect time to wind-down and regain one’s strength.

Kaamos is the opposite of the summer’s midnight sun. Both phenomenons are based on the axis of the Earth and our planet’s tilted position towards the sun. During winter the North Pole is tilted away from the sun and is therefore left in shade.

The further north one travels the shorter the time of daylight is each day and the longer Kaamos lasts. The North Pole is for this reason the darkest point. The time of blue twilight begins at the end of September and lasts to the middle of March. In the northernmost village in Finland, Nuorgam the sun drops below the horizon at the end of November and stays there to the middle of January, the darkness thus lasting bout two months. In the Ivalo area Kaamos lasts 37 days. When the northernmost part of the planet is draped in the deepest darkness at the end of December the South Pole is washed over by the midnight sun.”

Icebergs in Iceland

by Renae October 5, 2010
Icebergs in Iceland, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

On the Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon, by Peter Gebhard.

From Wiki: Jökulsárlón is the best known and the largest of a number of glacial lakes in Iceland. It is situated at the south end of the glacier Vatnajökull between Skaftafell National Park and Höfn. Appearing first only in 1934-1935, the lake grew from 7.9 km² in 1975 to at least 18 km² today because of heavy melting of the Icelandic glaciers. Approaching a depth of 200 m, Jökulsárlón is now probably the second deepest lake in Iceland. Jökulsárlón is separated from the sea by only a short distance, and the combined action of the glacier, the river that empties from the lake, and the ocean may eventually transform it into an inlet of the sea. There are plans to prevent this from happening, since the only road in the area passes over the narrow isthmus. It is not far from the Icelandic Ring Road, and buses travelling between Höfn and Reykjavík usually stop there. The lake is filled with icebergs, which are calving off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier.”
