Grandma wrote on the back:
"The boardwalk leading up to the other house, the summer house and kitchen."

Ziggy - 1997
Grandma tucked this cartoon inside a letter to me in 1997. She was a huge Ziggy fan and apparently found this one to be worthy of sharing!

Trump Taj Mahal - July 1990
Grandma sent this postcard on July 12, 1980. She writes:
"Ruth & I went to Atlantic City yesterday. Had a grand time. Won about $20 and put it all back in. The "Taj" is gorgeous. The chandeliers are unbelievable, about 20' in length. We ate at Trump Plaza. The weather was great. Cloudy & a stiff breeze. I must have walked 3 miles. I'm tired today. We left home at 8:30 AM and got home at 7:30 PM. It takes 2 1/2 hours. I'll write more later. Love Always, Grandma"
