1 Nowadays we are told that in order to have good relationships we should communicate with each other. We should be open and express our feelings instead of keeping them bottled up inside. There are many ways to do this. Long ago families gathered around the table three times a day. Now it seems that some people must plan in order to eat together once a week. Everything is rush, rush and each person goes his own way. I am amazed that there are so many postcard albums offered for sale at public auctions. They usu ally bring over a hundred dollars.

Now we simply jump in a car and arc there in minutes. But, I am glad that someone took the time to write and save postcards and by so doing give us a glimpse of life in the early 1900 s.
