Hello there! 👋 My name is Michelle. I live in Oceanside, California, which is about 30 minutes North of San Diego. I live 10 minutes from the Pacific Ocean 🏖️. Aerial view of Oceanside: ariel view of Oceanside here

Oceanside Neighbors Fallbrook, which is "The Avocado Capital of the World" and produces 60% of California's Avocados. I personally do NOT like Avocado's 🥑 unless it's a non spicy Guacamole to serve with chips. Fun fact #1; Fallbrook, California, is home to an 80-acre avocado orchard planted by Rudolph Hass - Hass is the best ones for that Guacamole!

Fun fact-#2 the "Top Gun" (Movie) house is located in Oceanside. this is the Top Gun House

I am a huge fan of rainy days! It never rains much in Southern California. In my spare time I enjoy reading (mystery/Thrillers), hiking trails/ camping, discovering new places, gardening (I have over 20 different types of Plumeria plants alone, and tons of succulents in my garden/ yard), I love cooking for my family and trying different foods from all over the world 👩‍🍳(I welcome new recipes!). I love playing board games with my husband and 4 boys. Some of our favorite board games are; Monopoly (we actually have over 25 Monopoly boards in our collection) Splendor, Stratego, Orlog, Taco-cat-Goat-Cheese- Pizza, scrabble, Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune and many others. I also enjoy Geocaching, it gives me a chance to explore new places. When I have time, I like to indulge in a good tv show every now and again. This is a link to some good shows I have watched; click here to see what I have watched and like

Although I am new to Swap-Bot... I am a long-time-veteran on other Postcard exchange sites. I LOVE sending mail... making people smile and I try my best to send good cards that match everyone's interests. I always try my best to rate ASAP unless I am at work or on vacation then I will rate asap when I verify that a card has arrived at home - I check my mail everyday as well. If by chance you do not receive my card, please feel free to reach out to me, I do resend! 𝓘'𝓶 𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂 𝓮𝔁𝓬𝓲𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓽𝓸 𝓼𝔀𝓪𝓹 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝔂𝓸𝓾! 💛
