GREETINGS FROM....
It's the first full week in October
which means this is "National Postcard
Week!" Postcards have been around
since the 1700's but they didn't go over
very well initially. Many people rejected
them because they didn't like the idea of
other people "reading their mail" just by
looking at the back of the cards. Eventually,
of course, they became very popular as
people sent scenes of their favorite vacation
spots or attractions to family and friends
back home. For many years they could
so that for just a penny. A penny postage
that is. These days social media has made
a dent on the postcard industry. You can
send those greetings and pictures instantly
through venues like Facebook and the
like. Still, a lot of people like to but a
postcard from time to time. Some
collect them and a lot end up pasted
on refrigerators. You can still send them
the old fashion way but don't expect
to send them for a penny anymore.
Celebrate by picking up a postcard
and sending it to a family member
or a friend. And include a message!
"Wish you were here" still works!
Hope you're well and that all your
NEWS is good!
