Hello all!
I had a good visit with my friend BreezieKay and am back to the grind in PA. She and I have been good friends for awhile. I can't believe its been almost 7 years already since we met!
While visiting, one of the side trips Bree and I made was to the Manitou Spring Cliff Dwellings. This is a privately owned tourist attraction, founded in the late 1800's. The dwellings were built by the Anasazi (meaning ancient ones). They were a race of Native Americans that built dwellings into the cliffs but disappeared into history and nobody knows where or why they left.
While there, the gift shop had a little museum display of postcards throughout the the years of operation. Which I thought was very cool and it made me realize that at this second you and I are making postal history by sending bits of our daily lives into the world.
There are several in the series and a little overlap
Some more pics of the site.
It's a mystery why the Anasazi abandoned their homes and where they went, but it's no mystery why we send mail. It's also no mystery that we are leaving a legacy with every stamp and pen stroke. So hats off to you all, my fellow mailers!
Keep it going!
