Post Card Sunday-That-Should-Be-Saturday

Keep your fingers crossed - the power is still working, but storms moving in. Tomorrow, pictures of the downed branches they cut to get to the wires.

But today... yes, today is Post Card Saturday! Though yes, it's happening on Sunday. If you missed the huge whine fest/pity party I had for myself yesterday, the post is just below this one, ha ha.

However, not only do I have an awesome postcard for you today, I have a special addition!

That's right - that picture up there is an album a friend of mine sent me to put postcards in! Here's the side view - isn't it pretty?

And the note that came with it. Yes, I wasn't sure how my friend would feel about all 4 of you who read this knowing her name, so I erased all but the first letter, haha.

Now to the postcard in question. There's another special something coming next week, as well. But here - ta da!

I think this is the oldest, or second oldest postcard out of all the ones I have. 1909, Baby! Take a look at that post mark:







As if that wasn't enough, here's the message:

April 13, 1909
New York
Father

I guess Father wasn't terribly verbose, unlike yours truly, ha ha. 



But again, here's the whole back. No zip code, though there is a number with the street. Amazing how stuff got where it was going. Assuming all of these did, anyway.

So there you go - another one! I totally dig these things. I can almost forget about the heat, lol. Okay, maybe not, but it's a fabulous distraction anyway.

:)
