I am very thrilled to be the next family member to cherish this post card collection. It contains post cards that are older than 44 years old. I can’t wait to share them with my family and, someday soon, pass them on to one of them.
Yesterday, my Aunt sent me a box of “goodies” and in it was a valentine from 1924. It was a 2nd place prize for a drawing contest. I believe it belonged to my grandmother. Again, this too will be passed down in the family. I just may have to frame the card to preserve it.
Boy, I love these kinds of surprises. They make me realize that I need to slow down in life and enjoy it.
What family heirlooms! It is relaxing to look at old things and dream of simplier times. ~Val
