Postcards Galore and First Post for 2014

  Postcards started arriving just before Christmas with huge thanks to Jackie  a new blogger friend. Jackie's blog is Junk Boat Travels and  we started following each others blog a little while ago and then on FB.Her  and her husband are really big travellers , and she offered to send me a postcard or two. Which I think is fab of her. They are on a trip in the USA and Mexico .. (a road trip) .. I think you should go and read her blog , which is amazing. She blogs about travel , books and she does other things too, like different ideas for the days of the week .. Blue Mondays , Sepia Saturdays and inSPIREd Sundays.  So we are going to start off with this postcard ,,  From the Edison Ford Achives , dated ca. 1930This is a postcard of Mina Edison under the arbour at the foot of the pier at her Winter estate in Fort Myers , Florida . The pier was destroyed but historical records revealed it stretched nearly a third of a mile into the Caloosahatchee river!
Then we move on to San Antonio, Texas  Love this card!  Jackie picked this up as they crossed the Continental Divide in New Mexico ..We made this mean Chilli Con Carne the other day. Not sure about making a Chili Con Queso though..(adding Canned Cheese Sauce with Jalapeno Peppers!!)   And then the bright historic  lights of Las Vegas ..  Jackie's favorite part is the oldest area of the town , full of the neon lights. She  loves the Neon Boneyard Museum too!! A very colourful and interesting start to the New Year, and  my collection just keeps growing ..  THANK YOU SO MUCH JACKIE. Hope you have a read of her blog , you will not be disappointed. Have a look HERE!!  ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
