Oh, Sissy! How exquisite! SO lovely! I remember once I saw a bright red bird in the underbrush near Stafford one time. Except for those we saw on the East Coast, I've never seen another.
The TB stamp is quite a statement...I remember reading about places where people would have to go to recover from TB. Remember Annette's Mom? Didn't she only have one lung, because of a bout with TB? Wow--surely times have changed.
How cute! These little red birds sharing a song story... As for the TB post, my Mom was a nursing student and had to do one of her rotations in the Adirondack Mountains, Saranac Lake, NY at a TB sanitarium. She said the fresh air was good for people and she enjoyed the mountains so very much. I'm also partial to the post date as it's my B-Day. A slightly different year but the same day none the less!:-) I keep saying it, but I'm so glad you are sharing these old beauties!! Keep them coming they bring smiles and joy!. Love and Light, Nina
I save cards and letters ... I have boxes full of them. Most of the older cards I have were rescued from a dumpster several years ago, and have been in storage ever since. Others I find at the Goodwill Surplus store nearby (where I buy them by the pound, so they are nearly free).
It is time to liberate these treasures and share them with the world! I am especially interested in cards that have a personal touch, so I will include any and all writings that make these cards so fun. Many are still in their original envelopes, and I will include these as well, since they also tell their own stories.
Thank You
Thank you Marge, for this award. You warm my heart and soul.
As life changes, I find myself far from what my dreams had imagined. Reality has found me caring for my elderly mom who is sliding deeper into Alzheimers ... every day has become a unique challenge. The best I can do is to try to life as normal as possible for those around me.
How beautiful! Birds are just about my favorite subject.
