Pieces of the Past: Postcard Friendship Friday

Postcard Friendship Friday

Happy PFF - and Happy Fourth of July. Looking for a card for this bang-up holiday, I came across this rather strange card. Have never connected the 4th and Eskimoes before, but it's a bit different than the usual greeting. I found some very cute funny - well, maybe funny like a rubber crutch - cards of ornery, mischievious boys who were trying to set firecrackers to everything they see. Very cute drawings but not really "feel good" cards.

This card was written a long, long time ago - about 102 years. Again, thanks to Beth for being our hostess on PFF. Stop by her blog and see all the blogs you can visit to find great postcards this PFF. Have a fun Fourth. (Click to enlarge)

Interesting card. By chance I am in the midst of writing a book review for a book set in Alaska set amoung the Yup'ik.

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.
