Harbor of Refuge

 In the summer of 2021 I visited Delaware, and managed to find a postcard showing the Harbor of Refuge lighthouse so that I could mail it from there along with its matching stamp, issued by USPS earlier that year. 

Sent alongside the stamps of Navesink and Erie Harbor lighthouses.

Images from Mailadventures.

PostNL > USPS

 Eva mentioned that I should be able to track my package on USPS now that it has left the Netherlands.

Current PostNL information



Current USPS information



Although to be fair USPS was closed yesterday for President Jimmy Carter's funeral. 


The saga continues!

Green

 Today's postcard hunt theme is green.

Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia looks like a fantastic place to visit.

Calculating

The package crossed the border!

Not sure exactly what that means - probably means it left the Netherlands. I think some of it is slightly lost in translation.



I'll let you know the next time there's an update

 If you're in the path of storm Blair, keep yourself safe, and keep your mail for posting safe, too :)

Schultz

 Today's Sunday Stamps theme is illustrations, and I choose this great issue from USPS featuring the Peanuts characters created by Charles M. Schultz.  The stamps were issued in 2022 on the centenary of his birth. The words USA and Forever are faint grey, at the bottom of the stamps, which my scanner did not pick up. 

The stamps are arranged around an image of Schultz which is not a stamp. I did send it on some envelopes to receive the first day oof issue postmark, as seen on this image from Mail Adventures.
