Postcard Friendship Friday

We have some snow on the ground now - not very much, but snow nevertheless. It is also the first part of December with signs of the season everyplace. Many of the homes have their outside lights up and their trees in the windows. The stores are filled with Christmas merchandise and the sales are in full swing. Free shipping rules the internet. Holiday music fills the airwaves and the commercials run full speed on television. Ho, Ho, Ho!!!

So here is a cute postcard with a fresh faced little boy (or girl) and a pipe smoking snowman dated 1919. John is sending Herman a Christmas greeting from Illinois to Iowa. I am a native of Illinois and I do not know where Grayslake is - will google it! (I did and found that it's about 40 miles north of Chicato). I am using the card from Card Cow with permission - they have awesome cards there as I am sure you all know. Thank you, Beth at http://thebestheartsarecrunchy.blogspot.com/
for being our hostess and a Happy PFF to all. (Click to enlarge)

It's me, Carol - or my browser. I don't usually use Explorer, but at least I know now what the problem is. I was going to comment yesterday about the Ben Franklin store, as seeing your photo of the interior made me remember how the Ben in my home town smelled!

Gorgeous snowman! I'm trying to make one at the moment (crochet not snow) and I think this will be a great model. :)

Like MrCachet, I think, I'm having trouble commenting last week and this when I use Firefox or Chrome. I've had to use Internet Explorer.

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.
