Thursday Postcard Hunt - Women Relaxing
Thursday Postcard Hunt finds Women Relaxing.
Relaxing on a Lake Erie peninsula beach at Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio.
Taking a relaxing stroll along the Don River in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
Taking a little nap is relaxing! An Old Woman Dozing, by Nicolaes Maes.
The reverse translates to "The Old Woman" and "The Drinker." I like the written message.
She could have been a postcard for last week if she'd stayed awake working. Or, next week, as that theme is Reading/Handiwork, and she'd been doing both, handiwork and reading.
Nothing more relaxing than a snooze. No snoozing on the beach there is so much to talk about.
ReplyDeleteWhen that postcard was made falling asleep on the beach would lead to a bad sunburn. People tried to get tan then! I remember later, in the early 70s trying to get tan.
DeleteI am with the old wopmn dozing - try to do too many things at one time and end up sleeping! Cards showing people strolling along a boardwalk, or embankment seem to have been popular in days past.
ReplyDeleteOr, have a list and still take a nap!
DeleteThe old lady is multitasking: reading, sleeping, making lace....(drinking?)
ReplyDeleteThe sleeping woman is me. Although, not so much with the book but with a TV show. Yeah, a nap sounds great about now.
ReplyDeleteI's still morning and I wouldn't mind a nap!
DeleteI always like your vintage postcards. I think there is never so many people on postcards nowadays!
ReplyDeleteNo, there aren't. The airport ones are either city scenes, or views of nature around that city. There must be others, but I guess those sell to the tourists at airports.
DeleteI love old postcards. The beach scene is great!
ReplyDeleteThey have a certain quaintness to them. Love the bathing suits! The beach was crowded even then ('50s-'60s), I can't imagine it now.
