I've collected postcards for years. Ones to me, anyway. Whenever anyone told me they were going on a trip, I'd ask them to send me a postcard (for all you young whippersnappers out there, once upon a time there was no such thing as Internet, let alone phones that would allow you to instantly text pictures from whatever amazing locale you found yourself in. Just sayin'. lol)
It wasn't until a student of mine brought me a book of old postcards he found at a flea market (see the post Here) that the idea came of collecting *other* people's old postcards. Like - old postcards. Older than me. Older than my Granny ever was.
This same student, on his last day of class with me, brought me another batch of them (he is awesome, by the way!). So I figure between the ones he's given me, and the ones sent to me over the years, I should have plenty to post for Fridays galore!
So here is today's postcard!
Yes, notice the writing on the front. The back says it's only for the address (pic below).
The note says (or as much as I can read of it):
Dear George,
Many thanks for the cards and the interesting letter. I will answer it one of these days. We are going Manitton (?) this morning as I think (?) but did mail you this card. The scenery here is beautiful. Glad you had such a (unreadable word) vacation. Love to all from Aunt Al (?).
So there you have it - today's Post Card Friday. I know I'm a dork, but if you didn't already know that before you started reading, it's best to learn it now.
:)
