Post Card Project

One of Gracie's favorite shows is Sesame Street on PBS, and the other day I was watching it with her as Grover came back from one of his "around the world" travels. It got me to thinking (watch out). Though there are many beautiful parts of this great country, Garren Gracie and I spend most of our time here in little Strasburg, VA. So, what better way for Gracie to learn about the country and the people who live there than postcards? I thought I might ask our dear friends and family, the next time you go on a trip, even if it is just for the weekend, maybe you could send Gracie a postcard from there. You wouldn't have to write much, just about your trip, or why you were there or what you saw or did while you were there, or even describe the picture on the front. Most Walmarts and post offices and even drug stores sell inexpensive post cards that picture scenes from the city you are in (Walgreens is the best for this!). Even if you don't travel much, a post card from where you live would be neat to have. I will put these postcards away for Gracie and we will enjoy reading about all the places you have been...and maybe pick a few places we would like to go someday! If any of you would be willing to do this for us, we would be especially grateful. And to those of you who read our blog and don't know us well, Gracie would love to see where you live too. We get so many hits from all over the world. What a neat project for our family, and it will be fun for Gracie as she likes to get the mail and will really enjoy knowing how much other people care for her.

Thank you in advance!
You can send the postcards to: Gracie Shipley, 750 Colley Block Rd. #10, Strasburg, VA 22657
