Postcard Memories

I have always loved reading the backs of postcards from long ago. I decided to use squidoo as a way to share these great letters with you. Please share with me, these great memories of times much more pleasant. I am copying these word for word so the grammer and spelling may be off. If I can't figure out the word I will note it

May your stay be as nice as some of these letters and thank you for spending time on this site.

Please feel free to comment as much as you wish.
