Dear Owen,
We're having a busy time. Very small attendance at the church we came so far to visit, 12-15 for evening service BUT, a delightful afternoon compliments of a young couple who want full time services so that's probably the reason the Lord brought us to visit. I'm feeling reasonably well. Hope your trip to oncologist? happy.
Love Carlyn
My brothers live nr. Bryce and one took me here.

    About​

    After purchasing a large lot of postcards I became fascinated! The idea that these messages are from over 100 years ago is amazing and I wanted a way to preserve and share them.
