My parents left Missouri for Connecticut in a 1936 Chevy with a thermos of coffee and a shoe box my grandmother had packed with fried chicken, chocolate cake, Ritz crackers and hard boiled eggs. The postcards were lost when I began the blog, but recently found by my brother. As was their habit, they wrote postcards and followed with detailed letters and you will find the one following these cards in the link at the end of the post. Welcome back!
