postage stamps

Postage stamps...I enjoy seeing what the new releases are and then buying a couple sheets for mailing cards and letters to add a special touch to the personal communication to family and friends. 

At the most recent visit to the post office, the line was moving slowly, and that gave me a chance to look at the poster of the newest stamps. The Good Night Moon stamps immediately caught my eye. I read that book to my children and now to my grandchildren. It brought back memories of bedtimes with us sitting on a couch or a bed or snuggled under a blanket reading this quiet, relaxing book.

"In the great green room, there is a telephone and a red balloon, and a picture of

The cow jumping over the moon

And there were three little bears sitting on chairs

And two little kittens and a pair of mittens

And a little toyhouse and a toy mouse

And a comb and a brush and bowl full of mush

And a quitet old lady who was whispering 'hush...'"

Valentines Day is coming up and the stamps with hearts are perfect to send Valentine cards. Doves delivering a letter and the Keith Haring Love Stamps add an extra touch of love to the sentiment inside the envelope. I don't know if the recipients will notice the stamp but it's fun to match the card to the occasion with the postage stamp.
