About this postcard

A view of the tall rock bluffs that line scenic U.S. Highway 71 in the Missouri Ozarks, with autumn-tinted hardwood trees in the foreground and a pale sky beyond the ridge. The road was a principal north-south route through the Ozarks before it was largely superseded by Interstate 49; the cut limestone bluffs and hardwood forest shown here are characteristic of the region's Boston Mountains and Ozark Plateau scenery.

Hello Fay - your card come yesterday so while I'm answering cards will get to you too I sure do feel lazy & go to bed feeling bad and get up that way Those little travel books sure do get around don't they. Am having trouble with this pen. It wants to stay out of ink all the time. I mustered up a enough energy to bake 3 pumpkin pies for tomorrow lunch. It'd be my capability today maybe I can go to Sunday
