I've just completed reading my Josephine B. Trilogy, and now I came across this wonderful postcard Nancy gifted me. It is addressed to Marie Antionette, could it be? anyway, I chose this for my Postcard Friendship Friday because, my son who is away on coarse with the military, has called me more times than he would have if he were here locally, perhaps an angel is whispering in his ear. "Call your mom, she misses you". I think even though he is lonely for his friends, and most probably for his bed, and his own shower, he is having a great time. They built a bridge this week, (like on the River Kwai" He always wanted to do that with toothpicks, except the cat kept knocking it down.
He claims the conditions are comparable to those in the movie, tents, in blistering heat, a lot of rain and most certainly mosquitoes. (This is my princess of boys, he likes clean, and gourmet, he's so fussy the elastic in his underwear has to be specific,)" The food is horrible," he says, "they use plastic cheese in their sandwiches, and white boring bread. " Hmmm ... I've been thinking of building a bridge across my pond! Wonder if he learned to whistle?
I had intended to post this beauty on "Father's Day" and then promptly forgot. It was in my folder for Post Card Friendship Friday, hosted by Beth of the Best Hearts are Crunchy.
This card is another of the gold mine, that my friend Nancy sent me, that she bought for ME in Paris. I love it. I can picture my mom and dad in this scenario with my sister Donna. My mom and dad often said they were so happy to have her "LIVE" as they had lost three infants prior to her during WWII. mostly to hunger, or lack of medication. Donna was dearly loved. Since my parents were post-war New Canadians there was not a lot of money for pictures so I would have to scan the faces of the family in. But, nonetheless I love this card. Happy Postcard Friendship Friday.
I had to add a post script to this post, (not sure that's proper grammar) but I don't collect cards that have not been circulated and Nancy even managed to fit this one into that category, it however does not have the stamp on the reverse side, it's in the upper right hand corner, it's that cool?
If I could send a virtual kiss, I would, my friend, (I feel privileged to call her that)Nancy from all pulped out, was in Paris recently and look what the mailman brought yesterday. OMG I was beside myself, I think I want to cry as we speak, how very thoughtful Nancy is. Talk about Random Acts of Kindness.
Anyway, it's PFF and here is the first of the most awesome post I'll ever have. The Notre-Dame Cathedral, Southern Transept. Thank You ever so much. Now I'll have to watch the Hunchback Movie and see where exactly the hunchback lived. Have a wonderful day, I already did.
