Happy 130th Anniversary, Ms. Statue of Liberty!

130 years ago today yesterday, (June 17, 1885) the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York harbor...in pieces.

She was slowly and painstakingly assembled, and finally dedicated on October 28, 1886.

Thank you, France!

Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia Postcard

This is the 2nd awesome card from Nives. It is a multi-view of Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia. She wrote that it is a UNESCO site. No surprise there. :) It is stunningly beautiful. Look at those waterfalls!

I read more about it online and found out that it is one of the oldest national parks in Southeast Europe and is the largest national park in Croatia. 

Thanks so much, Nives, for sharing more of your wonderful country with me. :)

Great Horned Owl Postcard

What a great surprise it was to find this great Great Horned Owl postcard from Brenda in my mailbox this past week. She had been visiting the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee/North Carolina, and actually mailed the card from there! Very cool....and great! :)

The Great Smoky Mountains are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.They truly are GREAT!

Thanks greatly, Brenda!
