Piccadilly Circus and Regent St., London

I wish I could put a date on this postcard which my sister Ruth wrote to her husband Chuck. It’s a bit of family history. Written back when Chuck was working and had a long commute. Whose wedding did Ruth attend? There is a clue in the stamp, if I knew when it was issued. Where was I when Ruth attended a wedding in London/England?

Just thinking what simple pleasure I derive from my postcard collection. And tomorrow is the monthly meeting of the Seattle Postcard Club. What treasures will I find to add to my ever expanding collection?

Their First Quarrel

For example this is a postcard I acquired some time ago. It’s a bit “shabby” but I just love the image.

For my collection of postcards of cats

Pinehurst North Carolina

I publish this postcard in memory of my mother and her father (Grandpa Friend)

They loved to play golf at Pinehurst. Each spring and fall, en route to or from winter headquarters in Florida, they would break the car journey with a stop for golf at Pinehurst.
