My grandparents are slowly cleaning out their house. There were lots of practical items they encouraged us to take—roughly twenty years’ worth of hotel soaps, and I am now the proud owner of a pizza stone and a Pyrex baking set (yay!)—but other things were sentimental.
It was a bit of a head trip, reading this postcard thirty years later—especially since I just went to San Francisco! (Notice the politically-incorrect caption at bottom left.)
Vintage Sesame Street.
There’s something off about this picture, but I can’t quite put my finger on it…

What a fun trip down memory lane Camille! Those board games look to be in really good condition still. And here’s the part where I sound like an old grandma, but it is so different from the entertainment kids have nowadays.

I love the Sesame Street toy!
The postcard is so sweet
