Postcard Friendship Friday

Many of the old pictures of my mother's family when she was a young woman were taken in Glen Oak Park in Peoria, Illinois. It seems like many people dressed in their "Sunday best" and spent an afternoon in the park. When I was a little girl, I can remember my grandmother walking me over there and I think the building in this card was by that time a building that housed birds. I have memories of a mynah bird saying "5 o'clock". The message on this card is strange and I think it is connected to..................+

this one which also has a message about chickens. Maybe you can figure it out! Nice pictures of Glen Oak Park, though. Many thanks to Beth at http://thebestheartsarecrunchy.blogspot.com/ for again hosting and Happy PFF to all. (Click to enlarge)

I love the cards and the messages are even better. It seems the second was written at 4:30 am. I can't make it all out but I think it starts with "I rec'd the chickens in crowing condition". Maybe the writer had a bad night, thanks to the chickens. :)

Are they really chickens? Sounds like sisterly code words to me.

It wouldn't surprise me if they really were about flesh and blood chickens.

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.
