Last month I made postcards to send to our friends and family back home.  We missed the boat on holiday cards this year in part because of my unexpected trip back to the U.S. in November, so the hubby and I debated whether New Year’s cards would make it to the States before February.  If we were too delinquent, I was worried that not only would our notes be untimely, but that we’d look like complete slackers.

Ultimately, we played it safe with a little greeting from our neck of the woods.
