A POSTCARD FROM SPAIN

Rummaging through my postcard collection, I found these two cards from Spain.

I bought this postcard at an antique market years ago. This date seems to be 17 Fe 11. Feb. 17, 1911 which would make the card over 100 years old. Not sure what the 25 means.

My second card is from a friend.

The card reads- "Dear Barb, Having a fantastic holiday. Morocco is mysterious and ancient. Spain is lively and exciting. Portugal is still to come. Weather has been fairly good. It's great to be on holidays. Call you when we return. Sophie and Ed."
The postmark is 23 May, 1975. I had just finished my Masters of Social Work and had started my first job. The reason I tell you this information is I have no clue who Sophie and Ed were! Classmates? Workmates? Neighbours? Since the card is just addressed to me, not someone known to Adolph. However, it is a nice card with a picture Spanish stamp!

A POSTCARD FROM BARCELONA SPAIN

While tidying my folks' home with other family members,  I discovered many cards, letters and of course- postcards. What a delight to have a whole new supply and messages to share with readers. Mom and Dad attended many churches over the years and were friends with pastors and missionaries. This card from the beautiful city of Barcelona reflects one such friendship.

" June 23/99
Our thoughts were with you even as we enjoy Spain. Spent 5 days in Madrid seeing much of the city. Gordon took sick to his stomach and unable to eat on Friday night, Saturday &, Sunday. He was supposed to speak at the church on Sunday. However, Dick prepared a message on Saturday &, spoke on Sunday with an interpreter! We left Madrid on Tuesday and we are in Barcelona. It's a beautiful city and a very old city with lovely buildings, cathedrals, great sea-shore and many interesting things to see. Hope you're feeling much better Maisie & your back is healing. Love to you both. Dick & Doris"

Spain with its rich history and culture is sure a wonderful place to see. Sonya was in Spain at the end of her High School years with a group of friends. It was home to the Olympics years ago.
