yeah, I think it was just the brief, nothingness of the message... because then why would you send the postcard! especially one of a storage facility! unless it's a secret cowboy code.
Oh, thank you so much Pastor Christine for bringing us together via your blog, we are now off for our honeymoon at the dude ranch/mini storage... We'll be sure to write, bye!!
A heartfelt thanks and farewell to my readers. My last post (the thousand and first!) will be on November 7, 2012. The blog will remain online, but there won't be any new posts as I need to make time for other things. There is a chance I'll be back, but if so it won't be for awhile. I hope you'll take the time to peruse the archives.
How To Find Things
There's treasure in the archives, so here's how to browse and find what you want:
1. Enter a search word or phrase in the box below - anything from Princess Grace to Prohibition or Graf Zeppelin.
2. Or, go down to the bottom of the page and browse the "Cloud of Tags". The number next to the tag indicates how many posts have that tag. Clicking on it will bring up all of them. (I realize now that it doesn't always bring up all of them. If there are a lot, then it will only bring up the most recent ones, but if you click on older posts at the bottom then it will bring up more.)
3. You can also go through the archives by date. Just click on the triangle next to the year or month to open the list.
I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest.
I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!
Is it weird that this reminds me of the postcard in Brokeback Mountain? Very nonchalant. Possibly in code. Just saying.
ReplyDeletePostcards really were the twitter of their age weren't they. Love the "Nothing To Sell But Service" line.
ReplyDeleteWhat an odd idea for a post card. Not much to say, either. Hmmm.

Keri,
ReplyDeleteI can't figure out why this reminds you of the Brokeback Mtn. postcard...horses, men...I don't know. Or maybe it's the brief message.
Reading this from my office in Newark, not too far from the site shown here. Thanks for this wonderful postcard!
ReplyDeleteOld post cards are a treat. I got one with a 1 cent stamp on it and it was sent to me. LOL
ReplyDeleteOMG, LOL, SOS, CIA, etc! I thought the same thing Keri did as soon as I read the card. Does this mean we are engaged??
ReplyDeleteAnonymouse,
ReplyDeleteJust hold on a minute while I get my online ministerial certification and I'll go ahead and marry you.
