Well, my contribution this week is another historical piece.
Interestingly, I am related to some of the Moore and Bird / Byrd family in Georgia. I don't know if these are any of my kin, but I'd be willing to bet even money that we're related somehow. It's such a small world here.

I'm always writing notes on envelopes and things like that. Somehow I don't think mine are going to be of any historic interest!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that exactly what the backs of envelopes are for? I can "one up" that by having used up an entire envelope for notes while on a phone call. I had to attach a sticky note with the rest of the notations and the call back number.
ReplyDeleteNothing strikes fear in my heart like the question "what happened to the envelope that was on the table last night"
Great post card! I gotta get me one of them cane strippers!
