MirjamvanderBijl wrote you a message:
“Dear Arlene,
I love the Postcard you sent me! What a great festival!! I would love to see it sometime!
My sister in law comes also from the Philipines. She is now here for almost a year and she is married to my brother in law and she is so sweet. We have heard last week that she is going to have a baby, so that’s realy wonderfull!
I love the people from the Philippines, they’re very nice.
I wish you a nice day and a Happy Postcrossing.
God bless you!
Lots of greetings,
Mirjam van der Bijl”

I received this from Niduska of Finland, thanking of me the postcard i sent her.
I checked out my postcrossing stats and it says i can now send another set of 5 as all my cards had been received already. One postcard to Germany is marked expired after 76 days. I guess it’s already lost in the mail.
I got another card today – from Russia!

A cathedral in Nergoroel, a typical example of Russian architecture.
This card is from a person called Helen but am sad to say I can’t say thanks nor registered that i received this card because she forgot to write the tracking number from Russia. This is my first from Russia.
