Post cards from Paris

I recently found some old post cards that my grandmother had saved from when my parents were in France. Thought you might get a kick out of them too.

 

You may recognize this picture from a previous post. My mom used it to make Christmas cards in 1965.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A friend of my grandmothers was vacationing in France and stopped by to visit us this is her post card to grandma. This was dated 9-16-65.

It says "Bonjour we found their house without any trouble as D** had been nominated as one of the soldiers of the month, he was at the base so we went to see him. L*** did not recognize me for a bit. Had a delightful lunch and dinner and evening at the club with them. Saw the kids both adorable and very friendly (yeah that's me adorable and very friendly). Met the family that babysits. They love the kids (of course who wouldn't love me). We also met many of their friends at the club. We leave Fontainbleau this morning and head for Strasbourg. More later. Our best to everyone. K & C.J."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a post card that mom sent grandma when they went to Spain dated May 11, 1966. I get a kick out of the $.08 stamp.

It says "Hi Mom we just got back from a wonderful trip to Spain. We had a wonderful time and the weather was beautiful. We both got sunburned. Everything is so cheap there. We had a hotel 1 block from the beach and the hotel was less then $3.00 a day. Beer is only $.10 and rum $.20. We didn't want to come back but we missed the kids. D** got his assignement Chicago, Illinois 5'th army headquarters. We will see you sometime next month. Love D& L"

 

Wow if beer and rum were still that cheap I think I'd be drunk all of the time and probably hungover too.
