We are having SNOW and more SNOW! What a winter!
These old post cards have been in our family for many, many years. Each year they come out of the drawer and are displayed in some part of the house. They’re always fun to read over and over again, they also make you realize just how much life has changed since they were written.
They were displayed in an old sewing machine drawer last year,
this year a silver bowl.
I don’t know about you but I love it when someone sends me a card or note in the mail. Yes…I know there’s email, face book, twitter and of course cell phones but for me, opening the mail box and finding a card or letter from an old friend or relative always makes me smile
.
A little humor :-)
Look at the date on this one.
Love the penmanship on the one below.
There was an article in our local newspaper this week that stated, due to modern technology, emphases on teaching handwriting skills, in grade school, may no longer be necessary. Who knows, handwriting may be a thing of the past in the near future. (I hope not!)

Thanks for sharing.
Happy VTT!
I adore vintage postcards and yours are wonderful. I also really like to see the wonderful penmanship on so many of them. Thanks so much for sharing.
Your cards look like they have really been enjoyed by many people for many years.
I love the way you've displayed your postcards!
I miss snail mail so much - so sad to not receive anything in the mail anymore. I'm the last hold out among my friends.
Happy VTT,

It is amazing to me that the handwriting looks so universal on old postcards no matter where they were penned. I also heard yesterday on the news that children who do learn penmanship rather than keyboarding remember things better than those you do not acquire the skill. It has to do with practicing and repetition of the strokes.
The house at 1434 Cherokee Rd. Louisville, KY is still standing. If you put in the address a picture of the 8 berroom house will come up. I live around Louisville and recognize the street name.
