Did your parents live in Houston, TX? My grandmother lived there in the 1960s and her best friend was an adventurous old lady named Fannie Apperson who traveled all over the world. Sometimes, she would take my grandmother along. I remember hearing the two women chatting together in my grandmother's living room. She WAS an interesting person.Cheryl Woodardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11310122940507101767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-18032742890690240162008-08-25T20:03:00.000-05:002008-08-25T20:03:00.000-05:00Yes, Amsterdam is really, really pretty & I...Yes, Amsterdam is really, really pretty & I'm happy to say I've been to various bridges similar to this pretty one!

I see teachers in town that I had when I was younger and I think how can they still be alive. But I guess they weren't really that old. Taking a trip by yourself sounds so "romantic'. Maybe one day we can see the watercolr, I'm sure it is lovely!tincanlilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635711925466019177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-7817586497678478282008-08-23T10:53:00.000-05:002008-08-23T10:53:00.000-05:00My husband and daughter have both sent me postcard...My husband and daughter have both sent me postcards from Amsterdam, and I must say they are the prettiest ones in my collection!Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560071949400915555.post-20913481694529710962008-08-23T08:46:00.000-05:002008-08-23T08:46:00.000-05:00I understand the sentiment of wishing you had care...I understand the sentiment of wishing you had cared to know her. So many interesting people pass through our lives. If only we could have been old/mature enough to appreciate what they had to offer. Lovely postcard.
