I haven't forgotten you all, honest! I read the comment from Sherry about people getting viruses from 4shared. I did some checking and it seems like there is a lot of that going around so I am not going to use 4shared for the downloads at this time. I am looking for a place to upload files so you can get them. I have been busy today with several other things though so I haven't found one I like yet. I will keep searching and when I find one, will post the cards again for you to dowload as well as any days I may miss. Please bear with me and if anyone has any suggestions for a place to host the files, please let me know!
Have a great day everyone!

Feb 23 - More Auschwitz
Just a quick post today. I have another postcard from Auschwitz.
I, personally, don't know what the building is since my daughter took the photo. Look at all of that barbed wire though! How horrible it must have been for those that were here.
At the back of the photo, on the left, it looks like a guard tower. I have seen a lot of these in other photos DD took here.
The building looks to be in remarkable condition. I wonder if it has been renovated?

Here in Holland, in Amsterdam, we have the Anne Frank house. I went through it one day. It was so hard to picture her family living there and what it must have been like for them all. I imagine it had to be thousands of times better than Auschwitz though.
Thanks for stopping by! See you again tomorrow!

Feb 22 - Auschwitz
I thought I would start out with this photo since it is so stark. It gives me a great feeling of sadness to see this. I probably won't be loading many postcards from Auschwitz as there are students in a lot of the photos but I will try and get as many in as I can to give you an idea of how it looks. I think it is just one of those places you have to go to rather than just see the photos.

So hubby and I had a nice day/night yesterday. We shopped all day practically. Groceries, garden supplies, stuff to put up shelves in the house, fencing and posts for the back yard, and more. It was a busy day!
We did get to KFC for dinner which was "echt lekker"! lol That means really tasty! :o)
After dinner we came home and he got my shelves up over my desk. I now have a nice little area to work in finally! Yea!!!
Today, hubby and the neighbor got a couple of the fence pieces up before it started raining. They will finish later this week. Oh I will be so happy to have the new fencing up! I swear, everyone has fencing between their houses here in Holland. We used to but we had a really bad wind storm this winter and it just ripped our fencing right up! Since it got so cold this winter, there hasn't been much of a chance to replace it since it was torn apart!
Since we all live so close here, it has been quite strange not having that border between us and the neighbors! I feel better just having the few up that they did manage to get up so far!
Tonight, the in-laws brought dd home as she was at their house this weekend. They stayed for awhile, which is always nice. I am so lucky in the in-law department! I couldn't ask for better in-laws!
After they left, hubby and I watched a bit of tv and then I attended an online baby shower for our dear sweet Stacey, at Digitals.
I am now posting today's postcard and then I am off to finish watching tonight's "Ghost Whisperer" with hubby. I just can't believe they killed Jim off! How could they do that??? (I know, you are probably thinking, Jim killed off? That was like forever ago! It probably was for those of you in the States! lol Don't tell me what happens! ) :o)
Ok, well, I better get moving! It is almost midnight here!
Thanks for stopping by again! See you tomorrow!

February 21 - Poland
Hello again! :o) Happy Saturday! I hope you all have wonderful plans for the weekend, OFF the computer!
The kids will both be gone for the night which is a rare treat! Hubby and I are going out to eat and then will just spend some quiet time alone! How nice that will be! Don't get me wrong! I love my kids, love having them around, but every once in awhile, having a night and day just us is pretty nice! :o)
Sherry, I hate to disappoint you again but we are just going out for fast food; either Burger King or KFC! Yes, we have those as well as Subway, Dominoes Pizza and probably others I don't know about! Personally, I am glad to have a bit of "home" here in Holland even if it doesn't taste quite the same!
Today's postcard is actually not a photo I took! This one my daughter took when she was in Poland this past year as an exchange student. She tends to take photos like I do but she has a real eye for it, I think! This photo is one from up in the mountains, somewhere in Krakow. I think she did a beautiful job centering it all, don't you? I added the "Poland" to the postcard and put my daughter's name on there this time. Here is today's postcard:

How do you all feel about postcards created from photos from Auschwitz? She took some photos there, but just outside, as you are not allowed to photograph in the buildings. She did get a few really good photos but I hesitated to use them. I mean Aushwitz, while a big part of history, may not be something you would like a postcard of, you know? Sound off in the comment area and let me know if you are interested. If so, I will create some postcards from those photos. None of them are....um, hard to look at. They are just of buildings, fencing, train tracks, stuff like that. She has some photos that I just can't make postcards out of as even I don't think I would be comfortable doing so!
Well, I hope you enjoy today's postcard! Thanks for stopping by and see you again tomorrow!

February 20 - Indian reservation?
I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date.....
Did you think I forgot you today? I didn't! Just running behind as usual, of late!
Coming home from a weekend getaway last summer, we stopped at a McDonald's for a much needed coffee. Pulling into the lot was like pulling into the Old West. All around the lot and the outdoor sitting areas, there were Indians, teepees, and totem poles. The area was quite wooded so the Indian stuff, all wood, was pretty cool! The inside of the McDonald's was all done up in an Indian/Old West theme as well. It was a great place to stop and rest for a bit.
Today's postcard is an Indian carved out of wood and tucked into some bushes. Cool, huh?

February 19 - coffee beans
You are probably asking yourself what coffee beans have to do with postcards, huh?
Today's postcard is one side of a little statue I found outside of a coffeeshop in Dordrecht last year. Just something a bit different and a little fun! I thought it was so cute!
The whole thing is actually 3 coffee bean sacks and another coffee bean statue on the other side. That one is a bit different than this one but the photo didn't come out as well as this side. I think it makes a cute postcard though, don't you? (Remember, the preview is smaller and lower quality than the actual postcard!)

It was a busy day for me. I had a dr's appointment this morning and then new glasses this afternoon plus had to get some shopping done in between. Then more grocery shopping before dinner, then a movie with my daughter tonight. It was a good day though and the sun was shining which definitely made it even better! How was your day? Did you get sunshine, too?
Well, I am off again! Funny huh? I finally get time on the computer but have to go! (Of course, I am typing this after midnight so I need to get to bed!)

February 18 - butterflies & buds
Another quick post today.This is an older photo I have of a butterfly I caught on a flower. I like to try and catch these photos as close as I can. This one could be closer but it's not bad. The full size photo you can see a lot more than here in the preview.
