August NA RR - New England Farm

The Laurentide Ice Sheet devoured New England 15,000 to 30,000 years ago, scouring down to bedrock, splitting stone slabs and tossing them across the landscape for farmers to deal with.

Thank you to Amanda for this great Catalog Woman card. Don't these look comfy???

August NA RR - Hooray for Hollywood

I have been wanting a pretty card of the iconic Hollywood sign and Davida came through for me.  Love it!

August NA RR - Buttons to Push

Great card from Craig from the Wanderlust series by Troy Litten.  Love this series so much!  All those buttons,,,, it's for sure I'd press the wrong one.  I am forever pressing the close button in elevators when I'm intending to hold the door open for someone.  Woops.

August NA RR - California Sunset

Beautiful Malibu, California sunset from Rumana.  Malibu is such a beautiful place.

August NA RR - Sensitive and Caring Men

This one comes from the Housewives from Hell postcard book.  I must find this book!

August NA RR - View from Alcatraz

I always appreciate Alcatraz cards. This one is from the inside looking out.  It's a different perspective.

August NA RR - Cornbread

I love cornbread!  It's not as popular in Canada as it is in the US. Thanks Susan, I'm going to go preheat the oven! :)

August NA RR - Welcome to Paradise

A wonderful card from Rocky!  This picture sort of reminds me of a dollhouse, but I digress.  This beauty is the Paradise Motor Inn and Restaurant in Bennington, Vermont.  It features 47 soundproof rooms and suites, some with sauna bath! The rooms have individually controlled heat and a/c, wall-to-wall carpet, custom styled decor, room phones, cocktail lounge, function rooms, banquet facilities, heated pool, panoramic view of the Green Mountains and complimentary breakfast served in room!  The Paradise Restaurant, a Gourmet favourite since 1927 adjoins the Motor Inn.

Looks like this multigenerational business still exists!

August NA RR - Bottle House

This the Bottle House in Rhyolite, Nevada.  The Bottle House still stands as a reminder of Rhyolite's gayer days.  The house is made of liquor bottles laid in adobe clay with their bottoms outward.  What a gem!  Thank you, Dana! 

August NA RR - Freckles

A wonderful Norman Rockwell from a Kelloggs Corn Flakes advertisement.  Awesome card, thank you!

August NA RR - Been There, Done That! (Saskatchewan)

I like these checklist cards ...but it does seem like an entire province would have more to offer than just this.  These cards are fine for cities but they don't do a province justice. 

August NA RR - Krazy Dazy!

"Daisies are the “friendliest” flower and our cordial arrangement of these cheerful flowers is fanciful, fun and designated “Krazy Dazy”! Pink shag carpet, large pink and white daisies against a bright green backdrop, white iron bed frame and simple white shutters highlight the room’s sunny disposition. The bathroom has a pedestal sink and the tiled shower blossoms in colorful tones of pink and blue. This room is located on the 3rd floor and is furnished with a queen-size bed."

This is San Luis Obispo, California's Madonna Inn. Krazy Dazy is just one of many themed rooms at the Inn!  Thank you Mike, for this amazing card!  You can't go wrong with pink shag carpeting. You can't!  Now I want to go for an extended visit and stay in every room!!!  Anyone up for a road trip? :)

August NA RR - Million $ View Motel

This gem came to me from Corinne!  The name of the motel seems to be a bit of an oxymoron given the plain jane look ... and exactly where/what is the view?

August NA RR - Walt Disney World Monorail

It's like a little piece of 1971 right in my mailbox!  Thank you Sally for this fantastic card!
