Hands Across the Sea always have a special significance for me because my Grandfather, an ex sailor, had a very pale blue tattoo of this sentiment on his forearm. His was rather plainer than this pretty card ,which certainly works the theme for alls it worth. Roses, a cottage, the river to the sea, a lighthouse and to top it all off an airship. I suppose when this card was sent the airship was going to be the way everyone was going to travel. The card is unstamped
but a birthday message from Dolly to her father. Including the words indicating mortality "hope you may live to have a lot more birthdays". I wonder where he was celebrating his Sunday birthday party?

I wonder what he thought about the "live for many more birthdays" comment. I wonder how old Dolly was?
That's a great card...I've never seen one quite like it.
I see I'm not the only one who spells it "brithday". All done in somebody's very best writing.
Allegoric card...
Led Zeppelins...helium is not flammable, like hydrogen...
Joy, here's a laconic (not laocoonic) bookmark: "Bored? Read!". Simple, but "cutting the bull to the chase".
Unlike Pamplona, where it's the bull who is on the cutting edge. Or poking edge, rather.
Wonderful card and so special to you, too. I hope he saw many more birthdays! Happy PFF!
This is truly a beautiful postcard! I love it!
Now this card had me thinking... how many postcards have I sent to my father? Can't remember because, except for birthday cards, I always address all mails and cards to my mother and father.
What a beautiful postcard.
Happy Mother's Day to you.
