Squirrels and Birds for my Brother Greg

This 3D postcard features birds and squirrels and was sent from a very young me to my even younger brother Greg.

I wrote:

Dear Gregory,
Would you believe I miss you?  I do.  I am having fun.  I hope you are too.  I had 4 teeth filled by the dentist

Good bye, Brenda

(I'm not sure why having four teeth filled was fun, but whatever.)

Harriet (c. 1830 – June 23, 2006) was a Galápagos tortoise who had an estimated age of 175 years at the time of her death in Australia. Harriet is the third oldest tortoise, behind Tu'i Malila, who died in 1965 at the age of 188, and Adwaita, who died in 2006 at the estimated age of 255.

She was reportedly collected by Charles Darwin during his 1835 visit to the Galápagos Islands as part of his round-the-world survey expedition, transported to England, and then brought to her final home, Australia, by a retiring captain of the Beagle. However, some doubt was cast on this story by the fact that Darwin had never visited the island that Harriet originally came from.
