PFF: I still want to go to Florida

Boy, those tree leaves are bright in this old linen card, aren't they?  It looks tropical and pretty and WARM.  We had freezing rain here in the Midwest today.

Caption:  "Hundreds of Royal Poinciana trees border S. Miami Ave., Miami, Fla." On the reverse: "Between May and July this avenue is ablaze with the flaming Royal Poinciana, affording a never to be forgotten sight to persons who have never seen nature in such  brilliant array."

Sent from Hollywood Fla to Rhode Island in 1955.
"We visited a park to-day and saw all the animals and things.  Then we went to Miami.  Saw Arthur Godfrey's Hotel.  Lois, Bill and Roger"

Today I think most people would be interested in the beach, shopping or the nightlife at South beach.  Arthur Godfrey is not remembered.

Vintage Thingy Thursday-Dec. 24

The cards are sent, presents purchased (but not wrapped), and kids asleep upstairs. I think. They are quiet anyway.

Even on Christmas eve, Coloradolady is running Vintage Thingy Thursday. Bless you, Colorado Lady!

My sincere message for 2010: To wish you health and happy days. Amen.

Postcard Friendship Friday

I just love sentimental, vintage postcards. Especially ones with landscapes on them, or perhaps lush roses, or forget me nots. Not everyone's taste I know.
This one is posted for Postcard Friendship Friday, on the Vintage Postcards blog.

I sent this one to someone on Postcrossing. What is Postcrossing? A highly addictive project! "It's a project that allows anyone to receive postcards (real ones, not electronic) from random places in the world." More on that later.
