some odd shaped stamps for the letter 'O'
In 2001, the Blue Jays, Toronto's baseball team, celebrated its 25th season and Canada Post celebrated by issuing a stamp (designed by Paul Haslip). In 1992/93 they won the World Series. In 2025 they had a spectacular, country unifying, run at the World Series again. It was a much needed feel good story/event. They didn't quite make it, but what a ride it was! The fact of getting as far as they did makes them winners in our hearts.
Carousels, or merry go rounds, were the theme for this 2022 set. I was never into amusement park rides when I was little and the merry go round was pretty much my limit. The lion at the top from Lakeside Park is near where I now live and it still costs only a nickel per ride! The stamps were illustrated by René Milot.

My O-woman is on this post.
Odd size is a great idea for O! I like the carousel being round. I always rode a horse.

I like the nostalgia of old carousels and their music.

Lisa: it's national blog posting month, but isn't it also national write a novel month? Commenting here as I can't comment on your blog.
oh wow! These are so different!!! beautiful!
Yes, it's NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. I read that the blogging one was in response to no being able to write a novel in 30 days! I know someone who did, and they self published it. It's terrible! Why can't you post? Is it a Wordpress thing? Some say they have issues, and I have posting to some of theirs, but I don't have any restrictions in my settings. Blogger and Wordpress don't seem to like each other.
Lisa: no, I don't think it's a WordPress thing. I am signed in under different accounts - i.e. different emails. I'll figure it out eventually.
