Postcard Friendship Friday

An old postcard showing Multnomah Falls Near Portland, Oregon, somewhere around 1920. Our family was in Portland in August for the wedding of Molly, my granddaughter, and Doug, my new grandson-in-law. Some of the family took a little side trip for a hiking expedition to the falls while we were there.

The post card back describing the beautiful scene.

Isn't this gorgeous? The back of the postcard shown next explains the rarity of this loveliness!

Thanks again, Beth, at http://thebestheartsarecrunchy.blogspot.com/ for hosting this fun exchange. Happy PFF. (Click to enlarge)

Just imagine standing on that bridge with the power of the water rushing past. It must be awe-inspiring.

Ditto to Snap and Sheila's comments! We have many waterfalls around Ithaca, but I've never seen a bridge placed like that! How phenomenal! Happy PFF!

I've been to Multnomah Falls many times, a few of which were in winter. But not once did I see the falls with THAT much ice! Some, yes. But wow. That must have been one cold winter!

My own Multnomah Falls story - as a teenager I climbed the 3 mile trail to the very top, crawled under the retaining fence, and sat on the rock at the top with my feet hanging over the edge. Something I cringe about now.

Old Pictures of the People in My Life

In this blog, I will post pictures from the past of the many people in my life who I love and have loved. The initial post and any that are labeled Pearce Family refer to my mother's family. Dan and Maggie Pearce had five children, Nelle, Nan, my mother, Harry (Ham), Leah and Ed. They took a lot of pictures and I plan to post many of them. My brother has sent me many pictures over the internet this past week - some of which I haven't seen - and this has prompted me to set up this blog to display those wonderful old photos.

I will also be posting pictures of my family, my husband's family, and our family. Those posts will be labeled by the family's name in the list on the sidebar. I hope this is something that will be enjoyed by anyone who looks in on

my blog.

I will try and tell as much as I can remember about people and places and events and of course much of it will be inaccurate but really just having the great old photographs to look at is fun in itself. And I do know who lots of the folks are.

Enjoy.
