Athens Postcard - Happy PFF (a little late!)
Athens - The Unknown Soldiers Grave. A very powerful, very moving scene.
I found this postcard (with a bunch more!) at the Goodwill surplus store. I had to rescue them, as the next step for all "paper" not sold is the shredding machine.
I save cards and letters ... I have boxes full of them. Most of the older cards I have were rescued from a dumpster several years ago, and have been in storage ever since. Others I find at the Goodwill Surplus store nearby (where I buy them by the pound, so they are nearly free).
It is time to liberate these treasures and share them with the world! I am especially interested in cards that have a personal touch, so I will include any and all writings that make these cards so fun. Many are still in their original envelopes, and I will include these as well, since they also tell their own stories.
Thank You
Thank you Marge, for this award. You warm my heart and soul.
As life changes, I find myself far from what my dreams had imagined. Reality has found me caring for my elderly mom who is sliding deeper into Alzheimers ... every day has become a unique challenge. The best I can do is to try to life as normal as possible for those around me.
Great rescue! How dreadful to think a special card like this could end up shredded.
