Jeffrey and his One Piece Dr Chopper red hat watching cat videos in a cat cafe behind a display of a selection of my postcards with a tiny Christmas tree on the table.

🧭📮Dr Chopper and I stopped at one of my absolute favorite cat cafes in #Merrillville IN today, so I can work on #Postcrossing projects. I made a new #geocaching set. Come visit Miss Anna and the other kitties, available for adoption, who are playing downstairs and are a happy sight! 🐈🏴‍☠️

🚁🍜🧋We had a lot of fun before and during the Deep River RC Flying Club monthly meeting at the mall in #Merrillville Indiana. I found lots of really cute items on sale, and the shopping bag made a nice backdrop for Cookie's play time this morning.

Echizen-Wakasa Kidan: Strange Tales from Fukui illustrated stories of yokai, ghosts, and weird tales from rural Japan

I just backed Echizen-Wakasa Kidan: Strange Tales from Fukui on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/osa...

This image shows my witchy season postcard depicting a cauldron, a witch hat, broom, curled up cat, and geocaching locations. In the background is a screenshot of the wicked sprinkle container that I use for geocaching hides and the contents, which include black cat key rings.

📮🧭 I'm still having a lot of fun combining my #postcrossing and #geocaching hobbies. This is a cache I hid Sun., near one of my favorite places in Indiana. I've written a lot of postcards here, upstairs overlooking the cat playroom, including this postcard I made for my 'Witch's Familiar' theme. 📮🐈‍⬛

I was delighted to discover this website reference, because I have similar, myth #postcards. Check out the "Skeletons" tag on the #postcrossing forum. I'm currently building a #Gashadokuro #geocache to go with the postcard I made for this forum game's participants.

I love this website; and I use it for lots of my #geocaching references in cache descriptions. Check out Echizen-Wakasa Kidan: Strange Tales from Fukui by Matthew Meyer on @kickstarter.com . I am definitely going to buy this book. www.kickstarter.com/projects/osa...

The #Dinosaur Museum 🦕 complex was very nice; 🍻 #Oktoberfest sparsely attended, 🥨 delayed, with men in Lederhosen playing 🎶 Under the Boardwalk 🎺 UGH, but at least they sold nice t-shirts for my Festive Collection and Postcards designed by a local artist. 😍

The image shows a pint size milk bottle full of Halloween cake sprinkles plus the containers in which the sprinkles came, each topped with the Halloween motif: an eyeball, which I'm going to place on the way to the eye doctor on Sunday; a zombie hand, which we will place near a graveyard; and a ghost, which we're going to place near our home; but I hope it's not haunted! Plus I show a new postcard that I designed: it says "my favorite things witchy season" surrounding a cauldron with a witches broom, a witches hat, some roses, October 1st date, geocaching and Adventure Lab logos, the states where I play, which are Illinois Michigan and Indiana, and a sleeping kitten and woolen mittens, from the sound of music song My Favorite Things.

🧟‍♂️These sprinkle jars make awesome treasure containers. Jeff adds a clasp, and we're good to go, haunting new places! 👻 This is one of the new #postcards I made, a Halloween/🎵My Favorite Things #geocaching card. 🎃 PSL bottle is from my favorite local dairy Crystal Springs in Oseola IN. #postcrossing

This is a composite image cut from a 'Korea JoongAng Daily' email subscription dated October 2nd, 2025 that has the following text pasted on it along with a heart, some musical notes, a person dancing icon, and a URL to the main article, https://tinyurl.com/SugaMIND . Quotation: "The Min Yoongi Center includes therapy rooms for speech and behavioral therapy, as well as group therapy rooms equipped with soundproofing and audio systems for music and social skills programs. "

.... I selected a postcard I made based on the recipient's interests and added the WPD image to the written side. This addressee likes biking, owls, and elephants. I was lucky to have matching stamps, too. 🦉🐘📮

This image shows one of the postcards I am sending on world postcard day. The postcard has an image of Chicago's Lakefront Trail, on the coast of Lake Michigan, with the tall buildings of the city in the background and a large tree that hangs over a terrific bike path. The other side of the card has a sticker I made from the postcrossing official postcard image that they share and let us use. I also put the recipients interests on the card in the form of two different owl stamps and an elephant stamp plus a pair and a blueberry stamp. Our town is known for their annual Blueberry Festival, by the way.

💖 My 📷 Printer! This World Postcard Day, since people often receive several official #postcrossing cards, I decided to do something different... (see comment)...

🐻‍❄️🐻 This is why I dressed as Bubu for the #KAION concert (in addition to a 🐻 being his rep animal). #BubuandDudu are so much like us, including Jeffrey working away from home and brushing my hair when I had a long braid. 🥰 (But my 🛁 singing isn't as cute as Bubu's 😉).

Image shows the Chuseok t-shirt I bought for this year, with two bunnies on the moon surrounded by Korean flag imagery. In front of the computer screen is the postcard I made showing the Thanksgiving parade featuring the Chicago Korean Dance Company. The dancers are in traditional Korean attire, Hanbok.

🇰🇷 🐇 I really enjoy learning about international holidays through #postcrossing friends, especially those that follow Nature's seasons and express gratitude. 🍂🌝 This is my new t-shirt and a postcard I made. I would love to go to #Chicago this year to see this #parade. I love parades. 🏮🎈🥁

#Chuseok

🌏 Happy WPD! 📮

Me too, Steve, especially with voice texting!

😄

This image shows one of the new postcards I created, placed in front of my computer screen showing the matching puzzle I sent my mom. Both the puzzle and the postcard depict a lighthouse on a small island.

🌙🧭 I created some geocaches that match the audiobook to which we are listening while we place and look for treasures 🎧📚 My 87-yo mother has worked puzzles since she was a kid, almost everyday. I send her puzzles based on our travels, and now I send her #postcards to match the puzzles.🧩 #postcrossing

New to me flavor, (Turkish)Tahini Filo Pastry Pie (I call them pita/pie because I first liked the Greek, spinach and cheese version that is similar to Spanakopita).

Google map showing Fort Wayne Halal Meat and Grocery location, because the store does not have a website, and their Facebook page is very outdated.

🇹🇷🥧 International Variety is the Spice of Life! I feel fortunate 🍀 to live in a nation of immigrants 🇺🇲 and wish a majority of people felt this way. 🇫🇷 My grand-mere arrived at Ellis Island after she was a prisoner of war in WWI. Trying a new flavor of pastry, AKA "🐌pie" from #Türkiye via #FortWayne.

🖤🖤🖤

That's my 🌞👷🏼‍♂️ husband, too! I forwarded the image to him, but he didn't laugh as hard as I did. 😉😆 He does like when I share your posts though. Thanks for helping us stay cheerful! 💙🦦

That's me! 😆

📮 This #postcard is one I made when my spouse was helping build the ☀️/// 🌱 Mammoth #solar farm near #Knox #Indiana. The farmer/landowner told me the project was named 🦣 because a mammoth skeleton was found on the farm. #postcrossing

🍫🦕... yet the reviews note good prices on delicious chocolate in their store, so that's what I'll be doing while Jeff explores the 🦕🦖 more thoroughly than I probably would.

In this photo are the digital image flyer for the South Bend Indiana Oktoberfest being held at the Dinosaur Museum October 3rd through 5th of 2025; a postcard I made with an image of a mammoth skeleton that is now at the Field Museum in Chicago; and some Oktoberfest, dinosaur, and chocolate chef digital stickers. A chocolate factory shares the space with the dinosaur museum.

🥨🦖🍫 our last #Oktoberfest celebration of 2025 will be at the #SouthBend 🦕Museum and chocolate factory, which share a space. Many reviews of the factory do not recommend the 🍫 tour (TBC...). 🧭Too many #geocaches nearby, so we'll just hunt. 🏴‍☠️

I'm not in this line of work, very much a layperson, however I recall reading about an old, British civil servants study. Weren't the middle level staff the most endangered for misery as they were rather trapped in meaningless positions? Anyway, that's what I first recalled when I heard the clip.

White Tiger, now living at the Black Pines Animal Sanctuary in Albion, Indiana. I quickly took this photo as the tiger passed me during a photography workshop at the sanctuary.

One of the tigers from the "Tiger King" true crime drama now lives at this sanctuary, near where a traumatized bear slept, who was once used to "bear bait" hunting dogs. So very sad. Please support such animals' well being.

Oh Jung Se Oh Jung Se is a South Korean actor and a stage actor under Prain TPC. Oh began his career in theater and has since appeared in many onscreen supporting...

I think I'll do them out of order, probably based on what I'm watching at the time. I'll try to think of some favorites, too. This week, I am watching 'Good Boy', which we are really enjoying. It has many of my favorite actors, including the brilliant, Oh Jung Se. mydramalist.com/people/4684-...
