TH - A post card from the days of snail mail

It was very exciting back in the day getting a 
personal letter in the mail.
I wish that I had kept them all but I did find this
gem, again, hidden in my photo box and from Nana.
 I loved writing letters, but all my aunts that would
correspond with me are no longer with us.
Quite sad all the way around.
 My gram wrote to me as well, we wrote to each other everyday.
And I can't tell you how much that meant when we
moved from PA to FL -
sooooo homesick. I wish I'd come across
one of her letters but alas.....
So I'm so glad I got to read this post card again and and also
get to showcase this as letter writing
seems to be a dead art.
Sad.

TH - My Nana's handwriting

Stumbled across this gem somewhere in my
photo box(es) LOL.
Not a great copy BUT it is my Nana's handwriting 
and it is chockful of information
on our Plummer gang.
 It was really helpful when I started my
hunt for them on Ancestry.com.
It kept me from going down an ancestry
rabbit hole and it's so easy to go there.
Lots of people named their kids the same names
same surname and some of the birth
dates actually match.
I can't tell you how many holes I fell in . 

Lots of Tim Holtz goodies to accent it.
