Postcard Show

Hundreds of buyers milling around looking for the great buy They are trying to find images of their hometowns images of beautiful women images of handsome men Brisk trade continues the day is wearing on Dealers and buyers tire Another card show Another nostalgic look at the photos of America and distant lands Putting the cards I have purchased in my bag I head homeward and am ready to relax And gaze at what I have purchased At the card show which I attended on this fateful day

Yes Matthew i can amost touch the grand feelings, of the people who took them, also a faded grandeur, pertaining to their current days circumstance,, and your satisfied yet weary return home to the re-appraisal of them..!

The scene comes alive through your words. Yes, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving--thank you for asking. Hope you had a good one too. Keep up the good writing my friend. Karen
