Mt. Madison House, Piazza, Gerham, NH





I love this postcard...
It's one that I have admired over the years... perhaps the serenity or the old time peacefulness really appeals to me. Just imagine how things use to be! Ah! that was a time when people were thinkers!

Just imagine sitting there on that peaceful day, what would you do?

Here It Is! The Album!



Here is the Album that the Postcards come from... It's about 100 years old... same as the cards.

Aunt Mable sure was faithful about saving postcards. There are many cards that Aunt Mable mailed to herself when she traveled.

Thank you Great Aunt Mable!
