More of Galveston Texas in Vintage Postcards

Hubby and I headed to Galveston this last Friday to go to some estate sales. One house was from 1902 and huge. Found a couple of books to put up for sale on eBay. Stopped at this huge old cemetery to take pictures for my other blog.
We love to sit and look at the water. Had some Mexican for lunch and headed back to home. Love Galveston , wish it was closer to us. So here is another of my vintage Galveston postcards..





This one is colorful Oleanders in Bloom.
Postmarked 1946 from Galveston
" Got Back to the old hometown and everything looks swell
have a cottage less than a block from the seashore
and the water is fine and the seafood is not fattening. Come on down and
we will ride the waves.
Love GJ and Opal

Vintage Postcard Of Galvestone Texas 1941



Tonight's posting is a beautiful vintage postcard of Galveston, Texas. Pictured is Beach boulevard and Seawall fraom the air, showing Hotel Galves.

It is not postmarked but has been dated 1941 in pencil by previous owner. Written by Lorene to Iris. Lorene has a strange sense of humor.

" Dear Iris I will take time to drop you a few lines but not plow lines. I am well but not a hole in the ground. I'm in Galveston Texas. Will be home soon. Love Lorene
Cute post card and interesting sense of humor from Lorene
