The Log Church of the TETONS Postcard.

The Church of the Transfiguration, Teton National Park.  Post Card by Crandall.  From my garage sale scrapbook.

My cousin George had heart transplant surgery on Monday and he is already in a private room and doing really good.  It still boggles my mind that a medical team can remove your heart and replace it with a donor heart. So many prayers went out this week - and those prayers were answered.

Hileman Postcards from Glacier National Park

 Lake McDonald, Glacier National Park.  Photo by Hileman.  8000.  SA-H226.

 Going-To-The-Sun Mountain, St. Mary Lake, Glacier National Park.  3004.  Photo by Hileman.  SA-H215.

This postcard is not titled.  It is on the same page as the above postcards so I assume that it is of a scene in Glacier National Park.  All the post cards are glued down in the scrapbook.

The couples that took this trip were at Glacier National Park on July 11 & 12, 1947.  I have said it before, but this scrapbook is one of my favorite garage sale finds.

Photographs of Chateau Lake Louise, July 14, 1947.

July 14, 1947.  Photographs of Chateau Lake Louise from the scrapbook.  Here are just a few of the photographs of Chateau Lake Louise from the scrapbook of two couples traveling from Houston, Texas across America to Canada.  I know the names of the husbands, Wallis & Elton, but I do not know the wives names.

Luncheon Menu from Chateau Lake Louise, July 14, 1947.

July 14, 1947.  Luncheon Menu from Chateau Lake Louise.  This is from the scrapbook that I bought at a garage sale.  I find it interesting that different menus were printed everyday for both lunch and dinner.  In the evening guests could listen to Jean Isobel Hayes, soprano, in the Lounge or guests could dance the night away with Jack Madden & His Orchestra in the Ballroom.  Sounds like a great time to me!

Heavens Peak, Glacier National Park - Post Cards, 1940's

 Heavens Peak from Granite Park Chalets, Glacier National Park.  Post Card #8055, HILEMAN.  5A-H203.

Heavens Peak and Mt. Cannon from Going-To-The-Sun Highway, Glacier National Park.  Post Card #8182, HILEMAN.  5A-H211.

A couple of lovely postcards from my garage sale scrapbook.  The two couples were at Glacier National Park on July 11 & 12, 1947.  The postcards are really, really glued down in the scrapbook.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, July 1947

 July 08, 1947.  License To Operate Motor Vehicle for Yellowstone National Park.

 Old Faithful.

 July 09, 1947.  I had to include the photo of the bear.

 Tower Falls.

July 09, 1947.  Here is a photo of one of the couples at Yellowstone National Park.

I was lucky enough to purchase a scrapbook at a school garage sale.  Two couples went on vacation together, leaving Houston on July 03, 1947 and traveled  through Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, arriving at Banff, Canada on July 13, 1947.  They left Banff and traveled through Idaho, Washington, Utah, Arizona and arrived back in Houston on July 26, 1947.  The album is full of photos, postcards, menus and other assorted paper ephemera.  They had one terrific vacation.  I LOVE this scrapbook.
