New Hampshire

I always have so many postcards from New Hampshire, just because I've visited there so much.

The M/S Mount Washington. You can take different tours on this boat. I think it docks in multiple places, but I've only seen it at Weirs Beach, NH.

The Common Loon. "A large diving bird inhabiting lakes in the northern U.S. and most of Canada. The loon is best known for its mournful call heard at night and early morning. Loon numbers have decreased in the East because the bird is most sensitive to human and predator encroachment during the egg setting period in early summer". I never get tired of Loons!

"Aerial view of Lake Winnisquam, NH". This is the lake that I've been visiting every year since I was a child. It's right next to the more well known Lake Winnipesaukee (which is the largest lake in the state). Winnisquam is the third largest lake, with Squam Lake being the second largest.

If you can't read it, it says, "Old Man of the Mountain. Daniel Webster once said, "Men hang out their sign indicative of their respective trades; Shoemakers hang out a gigantic shoe; jewelers a monster watch, and the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but up in the mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that there He makes men".

"Covered Bridges of New Hampshire. Jackson, Bath, Stark, Flume Bridge, Swift River Bridge, Albany, Swift River Bridge (winter)". I've recently fallen in love with covered bridges and want to visit them all!
"Lake Sunapee from the top of Mount Sunapee, New Hampshire".


"On Golden Pond, Big Squam Lake, NH. Once of America's best loved movies. Movie locations: Purgatory Cove, Thaeyer's cottage location, Gas pumps where Norman gassed his boat, Big Squam Lake, Gazebo (Where mother, Ethel, and daughter, Chelsea, had their family talk".


"Bull Moose" I've never seen a moose in the wild, but I've always wanted to.

Flea Market Cards & New Hampshire

This one if from Asbury Park, N.J. and it's postmarked from Sept. 17, 1951.


This one is from the Whitter Hotel Court -- 1625 S. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. AAA Recommended. On U.S. 1, one mile south of Fort Lauderdale Bridge. Modern, well equipped units, heated and with tiled shower baths. Reduced summer rates. Close to restaurants and business section. Postmarked October 1950. I checked to see if the hotel still exists, but I couldn't find it.

This one is of "Royal Poinciana Tree Amidst Majestic Royal Palms, Florida". Postmarked May 7th, 1955.


"Morning twilight from the summit of Mount Washington"


"Weirs Beach Around the Turn of the Century". You can really see the similarities compared to how it looks now!

"Common Loon -Known for its mournful yodel sound and sometimes calls during the night. They are expert divers and dive to a depth of 200ft". I absolutely love loons :)

"New Hampshire's Autumn Foliage attracts travelers from across the United States and Canada".

Postcard Pack

A couple of years ago, Eric randomly got these postcards in the mail, so he gave them to me.
