More Fish for Friday

More lovely fish.  Don't forget to read this previous post if you want to know more about the French tradition of April Fish.

The message on the front of this one this one says: With my thoughts to those I cherish. The message on the back is mysterious. Often these cards were sent anonymously and signed "guess who" or something along those lines.  On the left-hand side of the card, the message includes the phrase: Seek and you shall find. 

What's really amusing about the card is the right-hand side which is just the address written out as a comical narrative: Miss Marthe Jamisson who lives with her parents on ___ street in _____ town etc.  The narrative ends with Department unknown, Province - seek and you shall find. (Europe)    I thought at first that it had been hand-delivered, because no postman would put up with that kind of nonsense, but there is a canceled stamp on the front of the card. It seems this postman had a sense of humor.

Boring Hawaii

Hawaii is a beautiful place, so it seems inexcusable to create ugly pictures of the islands, but there are lots of  them:

The fact that the cars are now considered vintage makes them more interesting, but let's face it, this is a postcard of a parking lot in front of a motel. This postcard is from the Hilo Motel on the Big Island. The one below is from the Maui Palms Hotel.

The last one is a view of Kailua, Kona on the Big Island. There's a lot to see there, but you wouldn't know it from the postcard.

Dear Maleficent

This is another one of those cards where the back is of more interest than the front. I wouldn't worry about James Shockley's dog; there's obviously some code language going on here. What could it mean though? Here's the message, sent to Dottie Hilker, in case you can't read it on the card:

Dear Maleficent:

Just to let you know that James Shockley's dog got hit.

Yours Truly

Drusilla + Anastasia

If you think you know what this means, please let me know. Here's the not-so-exciting front of the card:
