postcard friendship friday

for more postcard fun, visit postmistress Marie Reed!





This is another one of the 'found' postcards,
this one is dated 1975
before Husband & I made our living together 'legal'
and mobile phones were ubiquitous;
here's what it says:


Dear Daryl,
I forgot to water the plants.
Would you mind an awful lot.
Please don't water the palm in the dining room
next to the avocado or the palm in the living room
but everything else. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
P.S. Forgot our tennis racquets. Can you believe it?
Love Donna

When I read this the other day, I laughed out loud ... I guess they got to the airport, she remembered she had forgotten and since there was no rush, rather than call from a pay phone, she bought and sent me a card from a kiosk at the airport.

Mobile phones are now in everyone's pocket or purse so occasionally I get calls from her when she's on the way to the airport or when she's at the airport asking me to check to see if she left the iron plugged in or to make sure she locked the front door ... she's my oldest dearest friend in the world and there's no doubt I would water plants, check to make sure irons are unplugged and doors are locked and she'd do it for me!
