Pieces of the Past: Postcard Friendship Friday

Postcard Friendship Friday

One hundred years ago someone sent this goofy little postcard expressing their wish for a happy 1911. At first, I missed the message of the piggies' tails but caught on in a little bit. So on the eve of the arrival of the year 2011, I wish you not only a happy PFF but a healthy, happy, peaceful 2011. And to our hostess , Beth, http://thebestheartsarecrunchy.blogspot.com/, a big thank you! (Click to enlarge)

A little photoshop work and the message could read 2011 - by a tail! And I wish you a healthy, happy and peaceful New Year as well, Carol!

Thanks for the hint or I would have missed it!
Pigs could be a sign of prosperity too I suppose.

Funny! I saw that same card while searching for my PFF card yesterday - didn't catch the tale of the tails - all I saw were pig butts.
Happy New Year!!!

I wouldn't have noticed the tails, either. Almost a little gross, but cool card.

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.
