Three or More Tuesday #3

Welcome to Three or More Tuesday!
Thank you to Tam over at The Gypsy's Corner for hosting this fun theme for us each week.
Go visit Tam to see who else has joined us today.
Today I am showing you three postcards that I scanned.
I am not sure how well you are going to be able to see these but here goes anyway.
Maybe I could have played around and tried to enlarge the images.
However, it is getting late and I need to get to sleep so I can go to work in the morning.
Some you may recall that when Stitching Stella was visiting me we spent some time at the Charles Schulze Museum.
Many of you were surprised the museum even existed.
I bought 3 postcard while we were there. Two of them show parts of the museum where the public is not allowed to take pictures.
Because of the scanning there is strange spacing here.
Update: You can click on them to get a closer look.
Anyway, the postcard above shows an arial view of the Snoopy Labyrinth. We took Stella and Helmi through the labyrinth that day.
You can see how it is shaped like Snoopy's head. This next one is a wall mural painted by Charles M. Schulz around 1951 in their Colorado Springs home. After they moved from that home, the wall was eventually painted over.
A later owner discovered that wall was there and painstakingly removed the paint inch by inch until the full mural was again revealed.
The whole wall was taken down and very carefully shipped to the museum for display.
Can you imagine how much work that involved to uncover the mural and then to take it out of the house in one piece and ship it?
This last one is a picture of Charles Schulze's studio where he would draw the Peanuts comic strips. As he worked and doodled, he would wad up and throw away ones he didn't like. His cleaning lady I think it was, would save those wads of paper and take them home every night and iron them out. She kept them in a file.
Some of those doodles and tossed out drawings are now part of the displays at the museum.
So that is my Three or more post about three postcards.
I bought them to send to my granddaughter. But first I wanted to share them here.
Ready for another laugh?
Last week I shared three funny blog posts.
I have another one to share again in case some of you have not seen it yet.
This time the three funny posts are on the same person's blog written as three parts.
She kept people in suspense with her three parts spread out like that.
Except for me. I was behind reading them and read them one after the other.
And laugh your head off while you are at it.
Either that or be glued to your chair....too scared to move!
Drum roll please.
Three funny(scary) posts from Robynn at Robynn's Ravings.
Another Drum roll
Here we have an intro to the crazy, funny event at
After you read that then you need to read......
After leaving with a cliff hanger there,
of course you need to go back and read....
Seriously, you have got to go over and read those.
Note: Some of us have been having trouble posting on several blogs due to not being able to get past the word verification.
One person I can remember off the top of my head is
Becky at Holiday in the Sun.
So Becky, just a heads up, I tried to leave several comments on Monday and was not able to get through.
Also Judanna, if you are reading this, I have not been able to leave comments on your blog either. Word verification is not letting me. Don't know what is going on there because on other blogs with word verification I was able to get through.

p.s. I want to thank everyone for all the kind comments on the interview posts both on my post and on the one by Suzie at Suzie Button's Creations. I am glad that you learned something new and to be more aware how to better communicate with those with a hearing loss. I was very touched by all the nice comments. Thank you again. You are all wonderful!

Happy Three's to you Linnea. That word verification box has been so frustrating. Hope people realize soon why they aren't getting any comments. I'm going to have to get to this museum sometime soon. Thanks for showing us some of the treasures :0)
Oh and I'll have to try to get back over to the interview. The day I tried my computer wouldn't let me...

Oh I just hopped over to Suzy's blog and the page appeared for me this time so I was able to read the interview. I appreciated learning about your hearing challeneges and what helps. There are so many things you don't think about but that are so helpful to someone with a hearing loss. Thanks for sharing Linnea!

Linnea, I really loved reading about Mr. Schultz and the painting that was revealed and restored. Especially about the housekeeper that hung on to all his wastepaper! How cool.

Heather said...
