Valentine Mark Herman: To Blog or not to Blog

Val sent a very old French post card from when they use to put the stamp on the front.  Maybe as old as 1980?

On the back it reads; "Once the Non-blogger posse was established, a many Mail Artists when into hidding."

Thank you Val.  What a tool you are!

Yep, that's me back there holding a doll from the Wisconsin Dolls :-)

You guys got some snazzy footwear, too!

I am sure the Federal tax authorities will be able to trace the exact amount from your tax declaration

Heleen: it's me. We have a 2nd house at Plouhinec about 15 kms from Quimper, and this photo of me was taken when I visited there (to collect my pension!);*

Erni: 'at least one' -- have you sold a second one?

And this is Val (he says, I thought this person was a senior from Bretagne and not from Sigean). Congratulations  with your new hat!

The card has a postage stamp on front, and one on the back! And a nice message from the sender.
What else does a snail mail lover (me) want? Merci beaucoup, thanks a lot, ValQuimper!

(By the way, nice to see a real Dutch word in this French text! The word 'glazig' means 'glassy' (sans expression), in le pays bas).

Erni: I paid much less than that -- about €2 for a set of 20 cards, I think, at a flea market.

On the back of the card that I sent to Dean is a description, or story, or something, about these guys and gals

Did it really say that on the back?
