The title of this blog post is the title on the post card. It is one of several post cards that I have in my collection that focus on the orange groves of Florida and California (see May 6, 2012, January 17, 2015 and February 2, 2018). In fact, the January 17th post has the same picture on two post cards. One says it is in Florida; the other says it is in California. This one, though, probably is in Florida. It is published by the Asheville Post Card Company from Asheville, North Carolina. Sound familiar? Two weeks ago (September 11th) I published a blog with a post card from this publisher. Just as I scanned the back of that post card for the handwritten message, I am scanning this one for the same reason.
As far as I can make out, Jack is writing to Mary to tell her that it is cold where he is - Lake Mary, Florida - and he is sending the post card to Mary in Lynn, Massachussets. He has obviously not been in Lynn, Massachussets in November; the post card was mailed on November 30, 1933. The rest of this message is that he has a two-wheeled bicycle and that he is going to give some Christmas presents away.
