Friday = Fabulously Overflowing Mailbox!
I opened the mailbox today and was disappointed because it was STUFFED full of flyers. I pulled them out, leafed through them and tossed them in the recycling. And then, for whatever reason, I glanced back into the box and saw a happy little pile at the bottom…seven postcards! In one day! Amazing!

Portugal - The kindness of strangers
Postcard from animalsfriend from Portugal
Description: This card is part of a set of seven postcards by students at animalsfriend’s school. The cards were designed to fundraise for a children’s charity. The quote on the card says “A child is a flower. Let’s help it to grow.”
I didn’t just receive a card though. The card was part of a parcel stuffed into our mailbox. I held onto the wrapped gifts until J got home because one of them was just for her.
And here is what the parcel contained:
A little red pinocchio doll for J, a bib and a cloth for baby C and a little soap.
We sure feel spoiled…all we were supposed to get was the cool postcard!

Finland, Portugal and the USA: Violin, groceries and fires
Description: Historic Fire Station No.6 · Atlanta, Georgia
Fire station NO. 6 was built in 1894 and served the "Sweet Auburn" community until 1991. It is Atlanta's oldest standing firehouse and is now a museum that tells the story of desegregation in 1963 of the city's fire department. Fire Station No. 6 is part of the Preservation District which helps to maintain the historic integrity of Sweet Auburn. Pictured here is a 1927 American LaFrance fire engine, a type that young Martin would have seen.
[The back of the card doesn't mention that this fire station is next to Martin Luther King Jr's home...but mattcorey told us!]
