A Postcard From Home

I tried to make the picture of the Hayes house look really old. For those of you history buffs that would like to know more about President Rutherford B. Hayes, CLICK HERE.

The picture was taken in the fall of 2007, in my hometown of Fremont, Ohio.

Has a very 'old fashioned' look. Think therefore it has taken some time before it was delivered Jimbob, lol
Great post my friend!

I don't think you need to try to make it look old...it already is really old.
So Hayes is one of Fremont's hometown hero's. What are it's other claims to fame to lure tourists to visit the town.
that postcard looks better then many I've seen for sell, I'd buy it.

Have to agree with Sandi, this is a fabulous postcard work and they way you put his picture in the lower corner sure is a special touch Jimbob. You did a great job on making the house look older, it's a beautiful old home and love the window that's a cross on the 3rd floor & that also lovely long porch.

Great effect on this photo looks like one of those postcards that you get at the souvenir shop. I love touring Presidential houses I'll Have to take that in when get over to Ohio one of these years. I'm dying to go to the Rock-N-Roll hall of fame also... and oh! the Sadusky river.

A fantastic job on this beautiful postcard Jimbob. I like the added photo on the bottom for a finishing touch. I didn't get one of these postcards in the mail i guess you forgot to put a stamp on it. That's O.K. i'll fav this one. Excellent post

Had to laugh at Owd Timers remarks JimboB. You did a fine job of finally getting this card delivered. I didn't realize it had been lost at your house all these years. You really took nice care of it. Great job of editing my friend.
