Boston Postcard - Postcard Friendship Friday, Weekend Mailbox


Ah the times of old sailing ships ...
They look fun and romantic, but I think I would probably have preferred to remain on dry land!


The USS Constitution (nicknamed "Old Ironsides") was built in 1797, and is still part of the US Navy fleet as a living museum of naval history.

How fun that Aunt Vicky got to see it!

Someone got mail in this box once.
A long time ago!
I found this delightful bird house at my friend Howard's house.
Howard and his wife Freddie are wonderful people who love whimsical things.

Hells Canyon Dam - Postcard Friendship Friday/Weekend Mailbox


The creases are still visible ...
From the journeys this card has been on ...
From somewhere ... to somewhere else ...
To the Goodwill ... then to me.


"The Snake River's most spectacular dam marks the beginning of the 32 mile Wild River Corridor. It is the last of 12 dams that produce two-thirds of the electricity generated by Idaho Power serving customers in a 20,000 square mile area."

If you have never visited the Snake River wilderness ... well, you should. Someday I will go back to visit this wild, raw, untamed natural area - it's been far too long.

And here is the REAL reason they call it "snail mail".
(Note the speed limit!)
