Thinking of mother’s today, I turned an old photo of my grandmother Mabel “Jackie” Roberts into a card.  I don’t know exactly what year it was taken, but I know it was prior to my mother being born in 1937.
That’s the Santa Cruz Boardwalk behind her.   “The Giant Dipper” wooden roller coaster dates back to 1924 and is still there.  I’ve ridden it many times myself.  I’ve heard that in those days those striped umbrellas were available to rent.
This card is now available at Zazzle.
