Revisit a stamp people thank you notes
Within my huge collection of great stamps I found 3 cancelled Marvin Gay stamps. They had great colors, I carefully peeled them off to use.
Then I adhered them onto the kraft paper cards.
Since the stamp showed the neck of a red shirt, I started with red tissue paper.
I love exaggeration, so I started fitting his body to the size of the card.
I love junk mail so I played with shapes for pants and shoes.
Once I had junk mail for body & shoes, I drew arms and legs. Outlining finished the card.
I made a third card. They are all similar but different. They are fun to play with and I think the imperfections are a bonus.
ICELAND'S REMOTE ÞRÍDRANGAR LIGHTHOUSE
Far off Iceland's southern coast, the tiny Þrídrangaviti Lighthouse stands dramatically on the tallest of three isolated Atlantic sea stacks. Its name means “three rock pillars.”
Built in 1938–1939, the lighthouse was constructed in one of Iceland's most difficult locations. Before helicopters could be used, experienced climbers had to scale the near-vertical rock using ropes, chains and hand tools while workers hauled construction materials upward by hand.
The lighthouse itself is only about 4 meters tall, but its light sits roughly 34 meters above sea level and can be seen from about 9 nautical miles away.
Today, Þrídrangaviti remains an active navigation aid and is still one of Iceland's most isolated and challenging lighthouse locations

Show up and never ever give up! This skill is becoming more important the older we get. Thanks, Jacki for this reminder.
Your stamp people always are treasures.
I found that funny about acupuncture amusing. I had acupuncture for the 1st time the other day on my shoulder/arm for tendon pain. 10 needles & laying there like a voodoo doll for 15min & I think it did help... My insurance covers acupuncture they said. I pay $60 out of pocket. The cash price is $70. I feel scammed.
Thank you , Elenor. I agree with you, it's always important, but get harder when we are older, so extra effort seems necessary? Thanks again.
Thanks Cheryl! Yes, I do believe in acupuncture, and your right, you do feel like a voodoo doll eating there. I think they may have overcharged you? I used a Japanese lady on Tustin and all I paid was $5 co-pay, Kaiser paid the rest?
