Sunday Stamps: the Letter "U"

 Hello and welcome to my blog.  It is a beautiful June day in the American Midwest.

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and this week it's the letter "U".

I have a stamp from the US Postal Service, for the Underground Railroad:

That is Harriet Tubman on the stamp.

I am reminded of fellow students in 6th grade, doing a project and presentation on the Underground Railroad.  They thought it was an actual physical railroad, sort of like a subway (not reading their sources too closely).  I had to tell them it was a network of people, transferring runaway slaves from house to house or other sanctuary.  These were known as stations.  Luckily, I did this before their oral presentation and writing their report!

Sunday Stamps: the Letter "T"

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.

It's a warm humid cloudy day in the American Midwest, and it may rain later.  Now though it's time for Sunday Stamps.

We are up to the letter "T" in our tour of the alphabet.  SeeitonaPostcard has shared Tulip stamps, and I have a Tulip stamp too, from the US Postal service:

I also am sharing this Thank You stamp from the USPS:

Sunday Stamps: the Letter "R"

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.

I had not prepared a R stamp, so I was at a loss for today.  I checked the USPS website, and was saved by the issuance of this set of stamps remembering the 100th anniversary of Route 66, the "Mother Road" that stretched from Chicago to Los Angeles.  This set was issued on May 5, 2026.

If you have not heard of Route 66, except in a rock song, that's OK.  It's an American thing.  From the 1930's to the 1960's many people moved west to southern California along this road.  The route still exists, but has been renumbered for most of its length.
