Thurn & Taxis pieces, detail

Even though I wasn’t blogging, I’d like to pretend it’s because I spent the last few weeks with Jon playing, relaxing… oh, and working.  My parents sent me this amazing game, Thurn & Taxis, for my birthday!  You compete to build postal routes across Germany!  Hello, could this game get any more perfect for me?  Germany, the mail, and board games.

Also, I discovered a lovely new corner of the DC-metro area that has a bakery, diner that shows movies, and a toy store with Playmobil.  Why yes, this is a Playmobil Deutsche Post/DHL delivery set.  I’m probably too old for toys, but I’m not too old to collect mail-themed paraphernalia.

Someday soon I hope to acquire the full-on Deutsche Post Office set set.  Even though I don’t self-identify as a crazy doll person.  I just feel like it’d be super cute on my bed’s side table– that’s all.  It’s decorative.
