OT US States postcards

My son (nearly 7) sometimes complains that he doesn't get mail, which
has led me to an idea which will hopefully teach him lots of things and
help him practice letter writing skills and maybe bless a few people in
the process.

My aim is for him to receive a postcard from every state plus DC,
preferably with a picture of something related to that state, we'll use
them to help him learn some US geography.

I know how much he wants to receive mail, so I want to help him learn to
bless other people this way, so instead of just exchanging postcards
with anyone who sends him one, I'd like senders to nominate anyone who
they think would be blessed to receive a postcard from him, whether it
be a child like him, someone who is sick, or lonely, or just having a
hard time. If a sender is happy to share their address with me, then I'd
like to record it so I can say thanks.

Suggestions for who to bless don't need to be restricted to the US,
though I'd like to help him bless someone in every state, so ideas for
smaller states would be very welcome from anyone.

The email address in the header is valid, so please use that to drop me
a line with your ideas for people to bless and/or your state if you are
willing to send him a card, so I can give you our address.

Thanks

Anne

I found this site a while back -- and it is a fun way to learn geography. I
wonder how many US Adults could place 50 out of 50 states in the right
spot!! (I can now -- but I've practiced a lot!) Learn capitals,
rivers.... It's a fantastic site!! and Free!!!

Okay -- so how well do you do on knowing where the states are? (Try level 3
states -- it is very challenging!)

LOL States, level 3 one error (3 miles) (and it was Rhode Island!) in

All that travel as a kid pays off in many ways. VBG
