Card Assignment-Driftwood Motel

The card that I chose was one titled Driftwood Motel.  I was attracted to this card because the picture on it looked like it was out of a vintage movie.  The picture is clearly dated--stuck in time with the vintage washed out colors, old styles of cars, and women's fashion that hasn't been around for several years.  Written on the card is a women writing to her mom and dad about a trip that she is on with a guy, that I think is probably the her husband or her boyfriend. The writing on the card is casual too, so it seems like she writes to her parents a lot and is probably close with them, especially if she feels the need to tell her just the little things she is doing and how she was feeling during the day.  I also can't help but wonder if the beautiful looking motel in the picture is just as beautiful as it was when the picture was taken, or if it is run down and old looking with age.  I find it so interesting that this little card with so little written on it was able to give so much insight into this time and this person's everyday life.
