126TH CARD ~ UNITED STATES


PRIVATE CARD
Sent by my wonderful mother in law- Marilyn from Oakville, New Brunswick (Canada)


Photo of: the Grand Ole Opry house in Nashville, Tennessee, USA



Mom went to Nashville on a business a few months ago and brought me back this card from her visit it to the Grand Ole Opry. The circle on the stage is part of the original Opry stage.

She gave it to me when were visiting for Christmas. It turns out that she also used to collect post cards when she was younger, and she showed me a shoe box full of old cards she had collected! They were great! I had a wonderful time looking through them. Some where even addressed to my husband- cards relatives had sent him while on vacations.
I thought it was very nice that we could share our hobby with each other.

A Word on Cards 47 Through 60.....



My best friend(cousin) Garrett has been living in Tennesse, USA fro the past year. Last week he moved back home to us here in Nova Scotia (at least for the time being).

Cards 47 through 60 are the post cards he picked up fro me on his drive from Tennesse all teh way here to Nova Scotia! You can imagine how excited I was to get them (and to see my best friend of course :P ) There are fourteen cards in all and they are all awesome. I will appreciate them always...especially after he told me ghow hard he found it to find postcards along the route he tool!

Thank you Cousin! I love you!
