Snowy Greetings

This postcard has a bit of history. I found it while cleaning out a desk about a year ago. The back was addressed to a long ago penfriend, and I think I had meant to get a Yosemite postmark and mail it to her. Judging from the postage on the back, the card was addressed in 2004 because that's when that postage stamp was released. I guess I put the postcard aside, meaning to find a way to get that postmark, and then forgot. That year was also quite crazy for me because I had just moved to Pennsylvania, leaving all my family in Massachusetts. I knew I had made the best move, but it was still a bit odd being so far away.

So, when I discovered this card, I decided I wanted to get that postmark and add the card to OPP. I sent it off to "Postmaster" at Yosemite National Park, with a note, and within a couple days, it was back in my mailbox, with a message from Postmaster Bill Carroll at Yosemite National Park.

I don't celebrate a traditional Christmas, but I do enjoy the lovely cards and other trimmings of the season. I wish everyone a lovely day today and a happy and healthy New Year.
