Sunday Stamps: Famous People

 Good day and welcome to my blog.  It's a lovely Fall morning in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.

Our theme today is famous or accomplished people.  Although the US Postal Service has a recent stamp of George Washington, I am going to share a different stamp.

This is Fred Rogers (with King Friday), host of a well-known children's TV show in the USA.  In each episode he would greet us in his home and later go to the land of make-believe.  His was a reassuring voice for many children.  By the time we got cable TV when I was a child, I was a bit too old for this show.  I came to appreciate it later.  His was a message of kindness and love thy neighbor.

Sunday Stamps: Places of Learning

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is a cooler day in the American Midwest.  Could fall finally be here?

It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme is places of learning.

My stamp, from the USPS, is a little different.  It celebrates 150 years of the US Coast Guard Academy by featuring 2 teaching vessels on it.

The top ship is the Barque Eagle, and the bottom ship is the USCGC Bertholf.  More at this link.  I guess there is training on a classic sailing ship, and a modern cutter for the students.

Sunday Stamps: Vacation destinations

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It's a warm muggy morning in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.

This week's theme is vacation destinations.  For me, I immediately thought of going to the beach.  And wouldn't you know the USPS issued stamps in April of this year that fit this theme:

And the whole set:

These images are from the USPS.  Here is the link to the webpage.

No beach vacation for us this year - maybe next year.

Sunday Stamps: Geology

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It's a cool sunny morning in the American Midwest, and it's time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme this week is geology, and for me, I'll narrow this down to mineralogy, the study of minerals.

Here are some garnets from Switzerland.  And the whole set:

I love minerals!
