Pieces of the Past: Postcard Friendship Friday

Postcard Friendship Friday

I know nothing about this wonderful old postcard and there is no image of the back. However, I think this must be gracious living at its finest. The lady seated at the right seems to be almost highlighted and she surely is the birthday girl in the photo. The message written on the card is -

"This is my class taken at my home on my 60th birthday. Always remember the fine happy hours and always remain as chaste and good as you are today. Your motherly friend."

I wonder what her class was about. Maybe she was a piano teacher or voice coach. It's for sure we'll never know!

This seens like an appropriate card for me to post since my daughter celebrated her 60th birthday on Wednesday. Some wishes---Happy Father's Day to all the dads, grandpas, uncles and husbands!! And Happy PFF - check out http://thebestheartsarecrunchy.blogspot.com/ for more postcards listed on Beth's blog, and thanks to her for hosting PFF. (Click to enlarge)

It certainly a very large class! It looks as if it must have been a musical group of some sort.

Birthday wishes to your daughter!

Great postcard! Must be a piano class indeed as you can see the piano in the centre... I love how the lady on the right side sort of "floats" or stands out in the picture.

Such an interesting photo. The woman at the piano only has one finger on a key, hmm, perhaps some other gathering than a piano class. Could be a class for deportment or some such nicities.

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.
