Taking A Break

The Daily Postcard is taking a sabbatical for the month of May. Some time away from the computer will do me good, and I promise to return refreshed and with renewed vigor.  I look forward to seeing you back here on June 1st.


Here's the back of the card.


Nellie sent this card to Harry in Redfield, New York in 1909 with a message that reads:

Going to Mexico Thur. with Jones. Just got back from Selkirk. I been out on the river nearly every day. Nellie
We will be home Fri on the ten o'clock train.

If you're wondering how Nellie could be in Scotland and then go to Mexico on Thursday and be home on the train on Friday, it's because she was referring to Selkirk and Mexico, New York. Her entire trip was about 150 miles.

  14. Christine, I think of you sometimes and think how rigorous a schedule you have with a blog post every day. Whew! I don't think I could do it. I hope you're doing something wonderful with your time off (a vacation, relaxing somewhere you love, etc.) and not having to have surgery or some other equally grueling activity. I'll look forward to June. Take care.
