The Postcard Thread

[Rikki Gins]

Another thread with a challenge we may participate in?
God Bless you, Rikki.   You ROCK!

Thanks, Starr.  There will be two more restaurants vying for a semi-final spot in another day or so, so check back every so often.  I think that some of my restaurant postcards have fireplaces in them, but they seem to be rather small establishments, however I pick the contestant restaurants on a totally random basis, so who knows?  There might be one with a fireplace in it.  We shall see.

Oh, well then.  Check out Mt Baldy Lodge in Southern California.  It has three!

All of these restaurants look rather too civilized for an Ellgab party. But the place does need to be classier than the Bellgab roadside juke joint.

I like the looks of the the BOOM BOOM Room. It reminds me of the Roadhouse, a.k.a. The BANG BANG  Bar, a place found in Twin Peaks.
BOOM BOOM is worst off that the BANG BANG.
My avatar and “Personal Text” are from the TV series Twin Peaks.

In celebration of the December Full Cold Moon, I present a postcard showing a full moon over Lakeland, Florida.

Pretty one

I think you nailed it, PB.  I would guess that she's a little girl version of Santa Claus.

Hi Rik, here's a similar one with the girl wearing a Santa suit - and out in the woods, but this time I don't think she's supposed to represent him.

Ya know...after seeing all these, I wonder how many people still send post cards on a regular basis.  I can't imagine there are many with the current age of selfies, cell phones, Instagram, other types of social media, etc.  Kinda sad really.  I love a good old fashioned correspondence.  Getting a letter or a card in the mail is nice.

Whenever we travel we always send out a few postcards, one to ourselves as well. It's a nice souvenir.

The outfits the kids have on in some of these illustrations are remarkably ornate (and apparently all children were blond with blue eyes...)

Oh boy this is a tough choice.  Primarily since Lawrence Welk is endorsing one of them.  Some here may recall my appreciation for him and his show.     Nonetheless...

I'm going to go with The Fireside restaurant.

Tonight at 7:00 I will be in my chair watching the show and enjoying some Champagne music.

I like Lawrence Welk as well, growing up we watched every week, and I still do now if I see it's on

Funny story- from time to time my grandmother would say ''I taught Lawrence Welk to dance'', all pleased with herself, then give a few details of where and when, etc, which I've forgotten (or didn't quite hear, as kids aren't interested in any of that)

So a few years ago I'm reading a magazine article about him (maybe after he passed), and it included some comments he'd made in interviews.  One was about when he was young the way he'd meet girls was to walk up to them, complement them, and ask them to teach him how to dance...
