Postcards “Lost” and Found
My dog and cat photos – these postcards weren’t exactly lost but I’m certainly glad I stumbled upon their hiding place – hiding in plain sight, as is often the case.

Katerina did not want me to write this entry earlier today

They were still experiencing rough seas and strong winds on board the Laconia. Aunt Libby slept and my mother continued her social activities. She met a lot of people by getting them signed up for pingpong tournaments. And she danced a lot by cutting in. She descended to 3rd class to see a fancy dress dance. “Not so nice down there, but a very gay friendly spirit.”
Postcard Day
It was a day for going through boxes and boxes of postcards at the meeting of the Postcard Collectors Club. I found some nice cards to add to my collection.
For example – isn’t he a cutie?

A rather strange photo = the cat has killed the bird and now is puzzled about my reaction to her treasure
Collecting …….
There used to be a BBC program called Collector’s Choice, This was broadcast in the afternoon and was one of our favorites. People collect all sorts of weird and wonderful things – from teddy bears to insects, for example. My folly is collecting postcards. Here are a few of my latest acquisitions.
This one falls into the cat category, obviously.

Cat On Barn Steps
This is an old photo and rather faded but I like it all the same. The cat was in my sister’s barn maybe 30+ years ago – younger days. At that time we were visiting from Bangladesh and the farm and all the animals were extra special. I am extra partial to cats – and the browns and grays in this photo – and the memories it evokes.
