Resting up from the busy weekend

I am sitting in my recliner resting up before heating some more Turkey for another dinner.  That is fine by me, but had a lot of other things to do so an easy meal sounds good to me.   Our old  20 year old Mitsubishi truck died with 250, 000  miles so yesterday we bought a used Toyota truck (2000) for the chores around the place.  I guess that just night be our Christmas present.

Happy Thanksgiving - 2 Handmade Cards from pen pals

I am Thankful for all my Blogging friends.

Interesting group Photograph RPPC What is that lady holding in her hand?

Not sure when this interesting postcard was published.  Probably the early 1900s.  I sure wonder where and why these 6 young people are posing for the camera.  Hats, suspenders, bow ties, regular tie, flower corsages, One couple is holding hands.  And what is that lady holding in her right hand. It looks like a metal fan, or maybe a utensil.  Well if you bid on this postcard you can wonder what it is all about.
