More than anyone else I read your stories and pictures have the effect of making me want to relive the middle of the last century as an aware adult.

So in this case, my friend, we can wonder together who the person was who mailed it to her. <br />Re: your observation about Knott's FB, the same is true for me. <br /><br />Kay~ Thank <em>you</em>, Kay. I love your visits.<br /><br />Pixies~ ...another story, indeed. Do tell in a post perhaps? Never heard of the song, but of course I will try to find it. You have such esoteric information running around in your head that I am constantly amazed!<br />What a weird kind of memory for you to have of your visit here. Sounds like your folks went out of their way to do "kid things" on the trip. :)<br /><br />izzy~ So you actually visited Knott's BF; I never did. I am truly intrigued about your camp Washoe Pines in Nevada. I wonder where it was. I was raised in Reno, but guess where I went to camp? Camp Sugarpine in Yosemite National Forest. <br /><br />Chrissy Brand~ Why, thanks so much for the comment and follow! Love your profile avatar. :)<br /><br />Rob-bear~ " . . .Knott to be missed." Did you really say that? I loved it, you so very clever, not too-thin Bear. <br /><br />Fireblossom~ Good heavens, you just crack me up! Even as a five-year-old you had a strange experience at Knott's BF! The undertaker's little helper. How choice! Fun to hear from someone who was at the Halloween time gala. It looks amazing at the website.<br /><br />naomi~ I am even getting over my disappointment in learning that the Bill who sent the card was not my cousin Will/Bill because the postmark is just great!<br /><br />Shaniko...I have heard the name and have absolutely no idea where it is here in Oregon. Nor did I know anything about its past as a wool capital, or the current home of a fiber festival. I needed you to move here from New York so I could learn such things! :)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-29557926899738184472011-09-07T20:25:23.927-07:002011-09-07T20:25:23.927-07:00Much as I enjoy your picture postcards that you al...Much as I enjoy your picture postcards that you always show the reverse side adds so much. Don't you love the postmark, "Ghost Town"!<br /><br />We almost visited a ghost town here in Oregon this weekend--Shaniko--for a fiber festival. Once had a short, intense life as a wool capital. But we could not find out much about what would be going on and, as you know, it is very hot around here lately.naomi dagen bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636592739857173279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-58848875826821671972011-09-07T16:13:18.413-07:002011-09-07T16:13:18.413-07:00I love Knott's.

The last time I was there was with my then-fiance, just four months before we got married. We were there at Halloween time, which was a blast.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-74875999660311901382011-09-07T15:23:56.289-07:002011-09-07T15:23:56.289-07:00Well, dag nabbit anyhow!

I collect cards, but they aren't connected to my family. Cards like this that always make me wonder who the people were that wrote them, or who they sent them to.<br /><br />I've never been to Knott's Berry Farm, but it seems I have known of it since childhood, for some reason.mythopolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164758700393086005noreply@blogger.com
