Renee was inspired by Georgia O'Keefe. Whenever I see poppies growing in people's yards I feel inspired to try planting them. Maybe that will happen someday. I don't want to jinx things and say that I feel like I'm ahead in the battle with the weeds. They are so sneaky. My son brought home some fabulous cardboard so I'm working on some paths. I will smother the weeds with cardboard and then figure out what kind of paths to put in next spring.

I'm not doing any free lance work these days - unless you are that one person who sends invitations once in a while and is so much fun to work with. She's turning 40 and a friend of hers emailed asking me if I would be willing to address invitations for Abby's birthday party. Since Abby is a lawyer, I suggested the Ruth Bader Ginsberg stamp and the person who emailed me was very excited for that stamp.
I had a route all planned out to see if I could find them locally. After I went to three places, I gave up and ordered them online. Then my son texted me that he found someone at a substation who knew how to look up what each of the substations have in stock. That was super helpful because it gave me an excuse to drive around to one of my favorite post offices as well as one I had never been to. I was so happy to finally see that one. It's very nice.
The punchline of this story is that I found them locally and I still have the ones I ordered online that will arrive - so I'll have a ton of RBG stamps to use up. I had not purchased any when they came out - so I'll have fun with them.
While I stood in line, I took photos of greeting cards that they sell at the USPS. This one is adorable. They have it filed under *Sympathy.* It seems a little whimsical for a sympathy card. I didn't check to see what it says on the inside.
This might be my new *thing* - just taking pictures of greeting cards.
