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.

    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.

    haha! I don't know why, but I wouldn't have thought that such a postcard would have been made and sent in 1908 :o) Love this ;o)

    Blessings & Aloha!
    (I have followed all the Postcard Friendship Friday posts previously, but my first time joining in on PFF :o)

    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..

    What a great card. Is the fire fender to protect him from all those smoking women?

    Great postcard... I love how the ink was usually purple-ish, like mimeograph copies, remember those?

    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!

    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,
