Reproduction Photo Postcard, Business Women in Wahmonie Nevada 1928

"First Women" These ladies were not only the first women in Wahmonie, Nevada, they were business women as well and started the first gas station there.  It was a rich strike in 1928, but it played out quickly.  An N.E. Johnson Photo reproduced by Lawrence Publishing in Bandon Oregon

I found this postcard while RVing.  Good quality for a reproduction.

Cunard Queen Mary Ship Letter Card - Postcard Friendship Friday

The "Queen Mary" sailed the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 until it retired in 1967.  It was a troop ship during WW2. It is now berthed in Long Beach as a museum ship and hotel. Since this folded note card was printed in England I would assume that this letter/card is pre 1967.
To learn more about the Queen Mary their website is http://www.queenmary.com/
And to see more contributions to Postcard Friendship Friday go to http://thebestheartsarecrunchy.blogspot.com/
I have not seen the DVD linked to Amazon.com but it shows ghostly contacts made on the Queen Mary.  Also on the Queen Mary site they have a Halloween graphic.  I bet there is a great celebration of Halloween on board. Maybe a few ghostly visitors will come.

Halloween is coming! Dancing Cat with Jack o Lanterns Postcard

It is in the mid 80's here in Central California and feels almost like summer.  But I know its October as the evenings cool off, get darker earlier with a brisk breeze.  Acorns are everywhere along with the falling leaves from the Oak Trees.  Yes Halloween is on its way.

Bluebirds Camp Fire Girls, Camp Yallani San Bernardino Mountains California

Had fun looking through an old album of mine with photos and souvenirs from my Camp Fire Days in the 1950's.  In this picture I am a member of the Sunshine Blue Birds of Los Angeles.  Look for me in the back row (3 of us at left side) I am in the middle. 

The highlight of my Bluebirds and Canp Fire Girls Days was attending Camp Yallani in the San Bernardino Mountains above Redlands California.  We slept outside on cots and I always worried about the bears.  I remember my Mother driving me to a spot in downtown Los Angeles where I boarded a bus taking me to camp.

 Reading through the brochure about Camp Yallani was a lot fun.  I think it is a private camp now..Bluebirds no long exist and it is now Camp Fire and is coed.  I can still hear the melody from the song Camp Yallani......

Finding this old envelope made me go looking for the album.

Postcard Friendship Friday - need help with IDing cancellation

I need help with this postmark.  I think it reads Dicksons Cross Roads.  1880!  I found an old list of post offices in Tennessee and found Dicksons Crossings,  but what I am trying to figure out the two letters at the bottom..  It looks like a T.N. but have never seen that abbreviation.  It was mailed to Louisiana...could it be L.A. Nothing like a good mystery.  Happy PFF and go to http://thebestheartsarecrunchy.blogspot.com/ for more.
