 Blog # 1694

Day 1641 ( That's One Thousand Six Hundred and Forty One Days ) Since the Start of the  Current ( Second )   Russian Invasion of UKRAINE .   

                                                            GLORY TO UKRAINE   

Howdy folks - all you collectors, postcarders and stamp people. Bloggers , too. I have a few more cards to show off. 

I am starting with a few leftover cards , sent by My Lovely Teena, from a cruise or two ago. The first one shows Pearns Bay, Antigua. It is located past Jolly Harbour and Hermitage Bay on a rocky road dotted with giant potholes, or at least it was when we were there. There is a lovely white sand beach as the card shows. 

   Teena used a lovely 2004 stamp, 1 of 4 in a Year of the Monkey set.

Card # 2 from Teena -- This one is from British Virgin Islands.  Here we see Jost Van Dyke from Smugglers Cove , Tortola.  

Jost Van Dyke is the smallest of the four British Virgin Islands , spanning roughly 3 square miles (8 sq km) with a population of about 300 people. Known as the "Barefoot Island," it is famous for its relaxed vibe, stunning white-sand beaches, and legendary beach bars like the Soggy Dollar Bar British Virgin Islands.  

Teena used a few nice stamps on this card. The two Bird stamps on top were issued in a set of 4 in 2005 for a Bird Festival. The bottom stamp is from 1980 , overprinted  for the Caribbean Commonwealth Parliamentary Association Meeting held in Tortola . The stamp was first issued in 1979, without the overprint. 

Card # 3 from Teena ---- A Cayman Islands card. This is a card issued by the Cayman Islands Philatelic Bureau, so it represents a Cayman Islands stamp from a Birds definitive series from 2006.  

The stamp is 1 of 5 in a 2005 set of Boats issued for the 120th Anniversary of the Cayman Registry. 

Card # 4 from My Lovely Teena is from San Juan , Puerto Rica. It shows Cabo Rojo Lighthouse, located on the southwest coast of the country. And no, that is not My Lovely Teena walking up to the lighthouse. 

I am not showing the stamp. Everybody has seen it numerous times and then some. It is the 2025 Round Global Forever stamp.  You all know what I am referring to. 

So that is it for this time. Thanks for these cards go out to My Lovely Teena. She is a great travel companion , she never complains about me and her making our way to the Post Office no matter where we are. Thanks Teena.

Now before I sign off   - one little bit of current news. 

I was always proud to be a Canadian -  that is not new, but today I am really proud to be a Canadian. Finally someone and some country has stood up to that orange haired narcissistic blowhard to the south of this fine country. It took a Canadian and Canada. It may hurt us in the end but at least we had the balls to do it. 

Canada - Strong, Free and Proud .
