when air was a choice
and stamps were just a nickel
my finnish penpal… 🦊❤️
While sauntering around the ruins of an old factory, I found an ancient “airmail” stamper sticking out of the rubble. I remembered my Finnish penpal from grade school days. I wondered how she’s doing? Her name was Gunilla Holmlund I also remembered my grandfather’s stamp collection. 🦊❤️
Note: I prepared this post very early on Sunday morning. In early evening my son Kevin sent me a text telling me that while cleaning out his closet, he came upon my Grandfather’s stamp collection book that I had given him years ago. He knew nothing of my early morning post that mentioned the stamp collection. How weird is that?
(US postage stamps were a nickel (5 cents) in 1964)
