I've wanted to visit Savanah ever since reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

It’s become a medium sized big city since then. Malls and expressways.  Though the old city is still largely unchanged.  Just don’t tempt the parking police.  They’re everywhere.

Very much like that postcard.
Think Louise was left handed?

Quite possibly, now that you mention it.

Dear Eleanor,
        I am sorry I can
not let you know sooner
that I can not come.  I am
just about sick with a
cold and I know you
would not want me
to come in that condition.
 Will write Sunday.

Why are so many post card senders and their relatives sick?

Why are so many post card senders and their relatives sick?

People at that time didn't wear masks, until of course, the great pandemic of 1918.  Despite that, Eleanor herself made it to the ripe old age of 87.

Buck Moon.  Sounds like an @Rikki Gins alias.

Buck Moon.  Sounds like an @Rikki Gins alias.   

Ha, @ShayP.  It does have a nice ring to it.  I thought the Buck Moon was named after the male deer and in a sense it is.  However the real reason for calling it the Buck Moon is because it is referring to the time of year when new antlers begin to grow on the heads of the bucks.  Now that I didn't know.
