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)

  1. 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. :)

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

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