Postcard Friendship Friday

Another postcard I found in with the old pictures.  Have no idea who this belonged to and, as you can see, it was never used.  It is a beautiful old church and is from a town north and east from our hometown in Illinois.
I remember reading something by one of the collectors about the backs of postcards that were undivided and the back of this one is in that category.  Pretty old card.  Thanks, Beth, at http://thebestheartsarecrunchy.blogspot.com/   for your great job of hosting.  One other note, if you happened to have ready my granddaughter, Hannah's, blog, there is a short post today.  They have all learned now where they will be for the two years in Africa.  She will actually be setting up a new site by herself.  I am so proud of her and know that she is an intelligent, hardworking, determined young woman.  It's hard to think of her so far away, but I am behind her all the way and very in awe of what she is doing.  If you would like to read her blog, just click on her picture on the sidebar and go to Singing Under the Southern Cross.  (Click pictures to enlarge)

  2. that's a wonderful old card you have. It's a pity, in a way, that there is no message on it to tell you more.

    I so admire your granddaughter. I was in Africa as a small child, until the age of 11, when my father worked there, and would so love to be able to go back.

  6. From the message where the stamp goes on the back it would appear that this is a real photo card. Beautiful, regardless.

  7. Nice 'photoette'. I love the quiet streets and all the trees of these old postcards. And did you realize that your granddaughter's work in the peace corps is also a great opportunity for you to go to Africa and visit her there? Happy PFF.
