Boring Postcards.

The back reads "Dear Sarah, wish I was at home, at least there were dishes to do there. Grandma keeps trying to teach me how to knit a cat, but I just keep zoning out. It has rained for the past 7 days...everything smells like wet sheep. I can't wait to get home. See you in two more weeks. Elvin"

Last year for Xmas I got a book (published by Phaidon Press) of Boring Postcards USA. Best book I own.

Perfect - this year my grandma gave me a book of 50 black-and-white postcards for Christmas, all of pioneer women staring dully into the camera.
