Postcards


I just got a postcard.  From Guam.  Pictured above.  I love when I get a friendly reminder that I am married and my husband is really nice.  However, I think Nick owes Guam 17 cents since he only put a 27 cent mango stamp on the back.  This postcard also gives me a purpose for my life-figuring out how to scrapbook or otherwise keepsake a postcard.  I have to be able to see both sides!  See my dilemma?  And so, this postcard will most likely end up in some sort of shoe box labeled with a sharpie.  
After this week Nick has been at sea for about a month, but we haven't lived together for two or three, I'm not sure which.  He did email me and tell me he saw a sea turtle the size of a small table, though I may have previously blogged to you about this-I told you I'm attributing everything I forget to a fictional B12 deficiency I feel I have, but don't feel strongly enough about to make a doctor's appointment.  
So, Navy wife info aside, I've found out that I like Beavers.  Yeah, that's right.  So, here's why:

  • Beaver's can fell 11 tree's in one day (or week, I wasn't listening to Animal Planet that hard)  
  • Beaver's chew succulent branches off of trees and then attach them to the mud beneath their dam to eat after the ice freezes: Like a little snack refrigerator!
  • Beaver's defend said succulent branches from Moose-by far nature's most cantankerous member of the deer family (Yes Deer Family, I wikipedia'ed it)
That's about all the new things I learned about them.  Oh, and the fact that their pelts had widespread appeal, but I already knew that.  
I went to up to SU town this weekend to visit LP and she made me watch Star Trek.  Besides allusions to quantum physics that soared far above my earthling mind, I did enjoy it.  There was a lot of punching, but mostly it was cool.  And I figured out that the star fleet has ranks very similar to Naval ranks.  There was even an Ensign!  Oh goodness, and in the preview for Transformers they blew up an aircraft carrier-man was that gut wrenching!  
So, that was my super cool, hipster weekend.  Jealous?
Love, Kaley

You can take your postcards and punch 2 small holes in them and then join them together with some rings from Office Depot. Its turns them into a little flip book. I've done that with the ones my mom has mailed me on her travels all over the world. Super easy.
You could even print out the emails and then glue them on index cards. Then you would have a book of memories.
