Sunday Stamps: Food (sweets)

 Post #801!

It's a rainy morning in the American Midwest and time for Sunday Stamps.  The theme is food, and like another contributor, I am featuring sweets.  They are not good for you but are so delicious.

These are new stamps for the US Postal Service, showing iced sugar cookies in Christmas designs.  This image is from the USPS.  Every year the USPS usually releases a religious Christmas stamp and a non-religious set, as well as a Hanukah stamp.

Sunday Stamps: Birds

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

I have been traveling (2 trips in the last 2 weeks) and unable to participate but I am back again.

The theme this week is birds, and there always seems to be bird stamps around.   I have some newer US Postal Service stamps to share:

This set of stamps pictures the bald eagle from chick to adult.  This image is from the USPS.  The set was issued May 14, 2026.

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.
