1917 Thanksgiving postcard

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.

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!

13 October Scooby gotcha day

October 13 is Scooby’s Gotcha day!  I cannot believe we have had Scooby here for one whole year! What a wild ride! He got sick and almost died earlier in the year, and we have been fighting less serious medical problems. But, we are glad we brought him home. Zeke is especially happy he is here, as he needed a male playmate. The girls did not like rough-housing.
