Marriage is a Cinch


One child (on the table) is lighting a pipe and the other is crying. Dad is polishing the brass, and Mom is smoking and reading the paper. What's not to love?

P.S. Handwriting can be beautiful, but I love it when people type their messages on postcards.

  1. Love, love, love that marriage postcard. In fact the concept of your blog is lots of fun; I enjoyed myself.

    Thanks for visiting me. It's always fun to hear from somebody new.

  5. I just enlarged this picture--the baby on the table is chewing on her Daddy's pipe!!! EEEek!

    And he doesn't look too happy either. I wonder what the little shovel's meaning is? He is to clean up the baby? Heehee..

  11. Love the expression on the dad/husband's face, and haven't seen a typed message on a postcard this old before. Sure makes the message easier to read!

  12. What a p.card! You can almost hear them. With a little bit of imagination you could really make up some neat stories about these people.
    God Bless,
