Thanks to my cousin, Mike Wieland for sharing this card.
Very nice post, Colleen. ~Jan
ReplyDeleteI love the effort and detail that some of our ancestors put into their holiday cards. The inscription, "Owen took these..." reminds me of things my paternal grandmother, Momoo, wrote on the backs (and sometimes fronts) of photos, describing when and why it was taken. In so many photos, they were squinting from the sun, and Momoo would make note of that with something like, "Should have worn my sunglasses." Thanks for the memories!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card and photograph to still have in the family.
