Otherwise future generations will lose out. Whenever we are at a flea market or antique mall I always stop to look at the postcards - wanting to see what kind of crazy or racy messages might they have included that they didn't mind the postman reading. I haven't come across any real jewels yet, though.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01769556455551856486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-22752922460134296912013-07-12T22:19:57.573+01:002013-07-12T22:19:57.573+01:00I chuckled when I read the bit about "spellin...I chuckled when I read the bit about "spelling doesn't matter on postcards...". I wonder if postcards were precursors of today's texting. In fact, I'm beginning to think traditional spelling and grammar will be the buggy whip of the 21st century. Why write all those vowels or bother with punctuation? Everyone will know (or can guess) what you mean anyway, right?

I'm so thrilled to have them now, but only wish I'd saved more! At least it's something. My favorite part on my cards (and yours) is the handwriting. With emails today, the art of letter writing is going by the wayside. I cherish a postcard sent to me at camp with my grandmother's handwriting. It just reminds me that I need to write a letter to each one of my own grandchildren for their future enjoyment.Barbara Eadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05428834142056450340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-84529913384936910342013-07-08T04:44:32.265+01:002013-07-08T04:44:32.265+01:00I informed the newlyweds I wanted no trinket from ...I informed the newlyweds I wanted no trinket from their honeymoon, I wanted a postcard!
