Happy Thanksgiving!

Once more I will dive into my father’s postcard collection. He kept many of them when he was a child, which I found after he died carefully stored away in a box. Most of them are Valentines–some of which I previously posted. Today for Thanksgiving I have only one “new” one to post. It was copyrighted in 1917 but sent in 1922.

1917 postcard

Zeke warns: Don’t eat too much Turkey on Thanksgiving!

Like every Thanksgiving, the cats will be prowling about underfoot when they smell the turkey roasting. Fear not that they will each have some!

  Zeke is a Maine Coon. He likes getting wet in the rain, then coming in for a towel-off.

I wish I could flop back like Zeke after Thanksgiving dinner, but someone has to do the dishes! Happy Thanksgiving.

  It takes more time to do the dishes than to eat the meal! Cats don’t do dishes except with their tongues.

That is a nice postcard. And thanks for the warning Zeke, but being that I have a 21 pound turkey for 4 people I am definitely going to eat too much. Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

  It was not exceptional, but good, which is better than BAD!

I wonder if the turkey on the card knew it’s fate would it stand so proudly! Happy Thanksgiving to you.

  Turkeys have a bad position on the food chain
