Postcards

I think my great Aunt and Uncle Loreas and Vernon probably stayed at this place back in the 1960's.

To get this joke, you have to know that a slang term for women back in the 1930s and 1940s was a "skirt." This postcard was sent to my Great Grandmother Ella Mae Garrett on January 12th, 1945. I love humorous old post cards. One of the post cards in my late Mother's collection.

A photo postcard of a place my family stopped at for a Coco-Cola on August 22nd, 1966. From the writing on the back of it, it looks like my Grandmother Wright, Mom's mom was there with us.

An old postcard depicting the El Camino Motel, located in Tucson, Arizona. It featured moderated rates, heated pool, cooled by refrigeration, kitchenettes and was only three minutes from downtown Tucson. Apparently, my Great Aunt and Uncle Loreas and Vernon stayed there for one night on September 22nd, 1969, and that's to when this postcard dates. And apparently, there was also a guy that held a woman hostage here at this hotel and tortured her brutally. Don't know which room it was - so you might want to ask about that at the front desk before checking in!

A place my Great Aunt Loreas and Great Uncle Vernon stayed at sometime during their travels back in the 1960's or so.

I picked this vintage-style Coca-Cola postcard up in Vicksburg, Mississippi, where the cola was first bottled.

This is a scan of a postcard that was in my Aunt's collection. My Mom's sister Maggie.

I found this card in a used book I bought.

This postcard is from when I lived in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.

When I lived in Safford, Arizona, we moved out past the edge of town and this was essentially what the view from our back yard looked like. We opened up desert land and built our house on it.

My family stayed here once.

My family went through Texas many times.

My sister bought this postcard for me. She knew one of my favorite movies is Close Encounters of the Third Kind and it features this distinctive landmark prominently.

An old postcard in my collection. I'll bet my Great Aunt and Uncle went there sometime or another. They were the great family travellers.

A cute, old postcard dedicated to that hardy desert animal.

This postcard pretty much sums up my thoughts about Florida - I love it for just these reasons.
