I’m Phoenix-bound for a few days. Here’s a 1966 breakfast menu from Camelback Inn to amuse you while I’m gone.
The menu is from the New York Public Library Digital Collections.

Here’s your postcard.
Travelling to Seattle and environs to officiate at the wedding of friends, with lots of time for exploring. Posts and pics will resume in a few weeks.
“C.H. Amerine’s sectional map of Puget Sound and Grays Harbor country: compiled from the latest official data and other sources” adapted from an 1891 map in the New York Public Library Digital Collections.
Destination next: There will be no posts for a few weeks. My sisters and I are assembling in Chicagoland for a road trip. We’ll be searching out Michigan tulips, and Petoskey stones, and the perfect slice of pie. Cunning and clever salt and pepper shakers will be bought and added to the collection. There will be maragaritas, and there will be celery sticks with pimento cheese. There will be shenanigans.
Fresh posts resume mid-May.

Tanking up for a few days. New posts soon.

I won’t be posting for a few days. I’m Oregon bound to see the eclipse – a trip I’ve been planning for ten years! Fresh photos on return.
Image adapted from a plate in The Trouvelot Astronomical Drawings Atlas published 1882. The caption reads, “Total eclipse of the sun. Observed July 29, 1878, at Creston, Wyoming Territory.” Sadly, the folks in Creston are not in the path of totality this year. Image from the New York Public Library Digital Collections.
