Happy Birthday Leigh - Postcard Friendship Friday #274

It was our darling sister Leigh's birthday yesterday. What a delightful wonderful woman she has become. She is one in a million!  I am so proud of her and I love her with all my heart.

Have a lovely day everyone.  The sun is shining, and here in our little drought filled valley, we are expecting rain next week.  I hope it will come.  In the meantime, happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Taking a Dip With Mom -Postcard Friendship Friday #273

I remember when my children were young--they had much the same reaction to getting into the water as these youngsters.  I sure do like that vintage suit too--especially now that I'm older!  Too bad they don't make these swimsuits anymore!

We have record breaking heat in our little valley.  I'm so grateful for the river.  It is nice to be close enough to walk to the park and put my feet into the water.  Have a lovely summer, dear Friends.

Wistful - Postcard Friendship Friday #272

Raphael Tuck and Sons were located in England and were an outstanding publisher of early postcards. In November of 1899 Adolph Tuck began his postcard production. Much of the early printing was done in Germany. The company took special pride in being Art Publishers to British Royalty.  

In World War II, the London factory was destroyed by German bombs and the New factory in Northhampton burned in 1954. Most, if not all the records and original photography used to create these postcards were destroyed. We may never know who this lovely young girl was. However, if anyone out there has a clue as to who she might have been, I'd love to hear from you.

Happy Fourth of July -Postcard Friendship Friday #271

 This postcard is from my "cyber" collection. I have a great affection for our country and its flag. I love history and the story of how our nation came to be is a great one. I pray for our country and our leaders each day. The truth is, our leaders need supernatural wisdom and guidance just now.  

Have a beautiful weekend, dear Friends. Thank you for dropping by, Happy Flag Day and Postcard Friendship Friday, too!
