Post Cards

Here are some of the post cards that have been in the family.

Some of them have writing on the back as well.

There is wear and tear to most of them. BUT the are really pretty to look at.

Some of these, I wonder if grandmother just liked and wanted, or if she bought them to use.

This is just a few of what I have. I'm starting back on working on the letters, as there are way too many of them. If I can get organized, then that will help out as well. I have filled a binder of the letters I have done so far. And that isn't even a dent.

Post Cards from the Past

There are a lot of post cards that were saved, sent, and received by the family.

This time, it's post cards that have writing on the back.
