Hello lovely peeps,
It's the last day of the year 2024. Amazing how quick that has gone! I hope you have all had a very good Christmas. I have. (See last Friday's blog).
Let's show you my postcard:
The card that arrived on Friday is this one:
It was sent to me by Darya in Belarus. She also added this little 'affirmation' (That is what she calls it):
Translated this reads: Conquer new heights.
The stamp is very lovely:
The words at the bottom say: Fabric Dolls. The word top left means 'one-handed' and the word vertially on the right means 'beggar'.
It features the traditional folk art of straw dolls. Here is a photo from the Internet :
There was also a sticker on the back of the card to do with public transport in Belarus:
Together with this card I received a nice Christmas card from Kathy (in Ozark) with a short letter about how she and Larry are doing.
She has sealed the envelope with one of her lovely seals:
There was also a card from CJ and family:
Thank you both very much.
Yesterday (Monday) I went to Gor, 40 odd km away, to my other cave house to check on the mice. I apologise to all animal lovers out there but I do put poison down as they pee and poop in my bed, eat my duck down duvet, gnaw into cables and manage to get into the best sealed kitchen cabinets. My friend Antionia and I went together. She took a picture of me as I came out of the door (of that cave house):
As today is Elizabeth and Bluebeard's T-Party, I need a drink:
It is again tea. I tend to drink tea in the winter. It is sitting in front of me on the table (with Christmas table cloth). The wooden thing the glass is standing on is not a coaster but something to slot my iPad in.
My cat Roneo (AKA Ronnie) says hello. He is doing fine.
And to finish I have a few funnies lying about. One Christmas and some drink related:
That's it from me today.
Wishing you all very happy and above all healthy 2025!!
Hugs,
Lisca

Such beautiful and festive postcards - love them 😊. So lovely to go out with your friend and Roneo is so handsome, so glad he's doing well. Happy T Day and wishing you a happy New Year too, may it be filled with joy, peace and good health! Hugs, Jo x
I love the postcard. There is a woman who makes those straw dolls and sells them at craft fairs in my city. After all, we ARE the wheat state! Lovely postage stamp, too.
I checked my mail this morning and guess what? I got a postcard from you and Ronnie. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I'll show it next T Tuesday.
Iris got me drinking tea, but I still drink coffee 24/7. I love the coffee memes. I can definitely relate to the thunderstorm.
Thanks for sharing your postcard, tea, Ronnie, and your coffee memes with us for T this Tuesday, dear Lisca. Have a safe, healthy, and joyous New Year, dear friend.
Your festivities all look like a lot of fun. I hope you have a wonderful year in 2025… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
