Easter Greetings - Postcard Friendship Friday

One of the cards I found in Grammie's papers (rescued from the fire bin - ack!) is this beautiful Easter postcard.
It was never mailed, however the back has an inscription "Amelia - From Mother".

The front picture of flowers is cut separately, and held on with a tiny ribbon.
When you flip it open ...

It is a separate little card!

In doing some research, I have determined Amelia to be "Miss Amelia Falk", my Grampa Lester's cousin. She was born sometime in 1884 to Dietrich Falk and Sophie (Harms). From what I can tell, she never married, and was employed at "The Portland Hotel" in Portland, Oregon for many years.

It has been fun and exciting to be able to find out so much information about my family.

Postcard - Reflections of the City of Roses ...

I love postcards from places I recognize ... I am thrilled when I can look and say "I've been there!"

I don't know if I've been to this exact place in Portland, but it had to have been close by!

"Reflection of the City of Roses"

I thought this would be perfect for James' "Weekend Reflections" ...
And for Beth's "Postcard Friendship Friday" ...

Another Oregon Postcard - PFF

Once again, the ocean.
My favorite place.

Our hearts and prayers are with the people of Japan, whose country was devastated, and is still being devastated, by an earthquake, tsunami, and now horrific natural gas fires.
