Sunday Stamps

I received these stamps on an envelope from a Taiwanese Postcrossing member. I loved the colors and style of the series!

Ardmore, Oklahoma

Postcard Caption:

Stanley Blvd, Ardmore, Okla.

Postcard Message:

Hello Miss Catie / Rit[?] you letter to Day will --- Sunday so By By ---

Here's Stanley Boulevard today, looking East:

And looking West:

I'm guessing that the postcard is looking east, since that is closer to downtown and has older houses which are large and beautiful.

Navy Dogs

Uncirculated

Postcard Caption

[FRONT]: Beauties On Board United States Warship

My grandpa served in the Navy during World War II, and it seemed that he and his shipmates always had dogs around. I have some of the amazing photographs taken by my grandpa of some of the canines who served. The top photo shows Seabag. I don't know the name of the dog in the bottom photograph. The Washington Post published an article on official, working military dogs, but I do not know if there is an account of the informal friendships sailors and soldiers develop with  dogs in the field.

Postcard Message

Hello Dorothy I'm really having a swell time, but this place is too crowded to suit me. Hope your Nathan and you are feeling fine. Stella

Here are day and night shots from my recent trip to New York City. I can only imagine what Stella would think of the crowds in Time Square today!

NYC Postcards

I love seeing all the postcard displays in New York City. No other American city seems to have the variety available in the big apple. And do you see that price? 10 for $1.00!
