Postcard Friendship Friday #39

Welcome to another Postcard Friendship Friday hosted by Marie at The French Factrice . Stop by her site to join in or see other postcards.


This is a postcard of the Hudspeth House B&B near Amarillo, TX. My husband and I stayed here a couple times when we were first married. The first time we stayed they were still not finished renovating some of the rooms, but they were having a little contest to name the rooms. The room we stayed in was very 20s in style so we submitted a few names that reminded us of that decade. We actually won a free night's stay for one of our suggestions..."The Prohibition Room". Apparantly, one of the rooms they were still renovating had some very interesting things hidden in a wall when they tore into it! Liquor bottles, I think cigarettes, and a couple of other things. I can't remember all of it now. Anyway, they used our name, "The Prohibition Room" for that room since someone was obviously hiding forbidden things in its walls!

How cool! We stopped in Amarillo on our trip but I didn't get to see much of it.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog yesterday, I really appreciate it!I posted the final picture today for my Thousand words Thursday post. It's by far my favorite!

My sons were doing construction this summer in an old house in San Francisco and came across some old beer bottles that had a brand name from the 50s. Buried treasure of all kind is always sort of mysterious and exciting.
