#10 @nursegarry sent a hilarious vintage ad card. What could be better? a bird, children playing, a smiling mother with a pink bow aanndd cigarettes.


#23 @suatelier sent a GF Ontario card. I’ve been to Niagara Falls a long time ago and it was awesome and well worth the visit. I live outside Washington DC and virtually never go to the Smithsonian or museums anymore.

Thank you for the beautiful card of Pittsburgh! I’m not a fan of visiting cities, but I do love city lights! Sometimes it blows my mind that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people behind those lights!

#6 @mikeyz1 Great card from the Merry-Go-Round Museum in Sandusky, Ohio. Thanks! The museum has an interesting history and I can see why your daughter loves to go there.

#10 @nursegarry I had to share your vintage postcard with family, and none of us realized there was a herd of elk in the San Francisco Bay area! Thanks for sharing this card with me.

#28 @TwoDoggies Thank you for the photo postcard of Leni Riefenstahl for Women’s History month. I learned a lot from your card and also did some research on her as well. Interesting…

#29 @melvnoble Thank you for the lovely photo postcard. What a beautiful young lady! I am looking fotward to nicer (less windy and warmer) weather too, but Spring is unpredictable here in the mountains.
