The Postcard Thread

Do you own these?

Do you own these?

Most of them.  Except for the ones that I mark as being from a postcard auction.  Those aren't mine but I keep a record of them in case I see them at auction when I'm doing actual bidding.  For instance, that previous card, the green benches one.  I would have bid on that one if I had been bidding on postcards this week.  I only bid on postcards one week out of the month.  (Usually the third week of the month.)

Some have not been taught. All printy, them.

My daughter was not really taught cursive in school - they were taught how to sign their names.
I made her learn anyways - her 93 year old GrandMother sends her hand written letters in cursive - no emails!

Wait, what??!!!??  Your daughter's school doesn't teach cursive?  Uh, uh, (sigh).  I don't even know what to say.

Oh, so they are taught their own signature, I wondered if they would print such a thing.
I can't imagine how it would be to not be able to read cursive.

I see. Do you know how many you have? What makes you decide to get one?

@Walks_At_Night this is true. I recently asked some young children, under the age of 12 years old if they can read cursive writing. They just shugged. I asked "can you read what your grandmother wrote in your Birthday Cards?" These children said "not really."

This postcard is up for bid at the current postcard auction over on eBay.  I thought for sure that it showed a palm tree in Florida, being buffeted by a hurricane.  But the printing on back says, "Florida.  When the gentle breezes blow."

Hey, isn't that Keith Richards up at the top trying to yank one of the coconuts loose?
