Dear Wilma, "Russ & Annette have gone home. I'll fly back to Cleveland Oct 4th and Russ will take me home. The desert is so pretty. Going to a Mall today. Hope all are ok. More later." Marilyn
The hotel was torn down recently, but as far as I know, the sign still stands at the vacant lot.
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA "WAWONA" TUNNEL TREE This famous tree is in the Mariposa Grove of Big Trees, a pleasant drive of 36 miles from the hotels and camps in Yosemite Valley. The "Wawona" tree is 227 feet tall, and 90 feet in circumference. In this grove more than six hundred giant Sequoias have been growing here for centuries... the Earth's largest and oldest trees.

Hi Folks, "Drove through this tree today. It's just beautiful up here. We're enjoying our vacation so far. How's our little bambino doing? Give her a big fat kiss for me." Joe, Marge + kids.
In this era of e-mail, instant messaging, and cameraphones, the notion of a handwritten note in the mail seems like ancient history. Postcards were once a quick and inexpensive way to drop a line. Today, old postcards provide remarkable insight into our past; massive archived collections provide sources for historic research. The images can be hilarious, nostalgic and bizarre, and the messages quaint, puzzling and often poignant.
Collecting postcards is a passion for many people, and has been since the late 19th century. I can't explain why I collect postcards from complete strangers, but I'm drawn to these nostalgic images and personal notes. The posts here are from my modest collection, and will include the date, message and image caption on the reverse. On occasion, I will also offer some editorial comment, and a few links to more information on the card's subject matter. Your comments are welcome and appreciated.
