    Two of my recent post cards arrived a bit banged up. Please use the plastic sleeves if your post office has them,
    or mail in an envelope.

    Hi all, gee I feel like a travel advisor. As well as a historian I hope I don't bore my partner with facts. I guess I am trying to sell my state especially since there has been so much in the media about the bad water in Flint. We live close but have our own well. However, we will be going into Flint tonight, I hope the coffee shop has a water filter. The business have been hurt for sure.
    Oh, where do you find those plastic sleeves that Dorothy was talking about? So you have the postal worker hand cancel the FPC and than slip it into the sleeve? Can you put your return address on the sleeve?
    I'm sure everyone has been out and about since the snow, which missed us, this time. Later all............calla

    Our post office doesn't have plastic envelopes, but I always put mine in an envelope now. I didn't do either of those at first.

    i used to get my clear envelopes at this site. http://tinyurl.com/zgxcoc3 $9.99 for 500. they come in five 100-pks. you could split an order 5 ways. if anyone decides to order, i will buy a pack from you.

    you write the address directly on the postcard with a pigma pen, slip it in the clear envelope, and put the stamps on the envelope so the post office can hand cancel it.

    Thanks for the info and the link CookieZenmilk.

    I too just use envelopes to mail in that I bought at Wal-mart. There is no wrong way to send. Whatever you decide is best for you.
