Hi Sweetie:

How is my girl?  It certainly is good news to hear you are eating so well and are really snapping out of it.

Just think, every day that goes by is one more day nearer going home.

Keep that little old chin up & help Mama keep hers up.

Mom's Christmas Card to Dad ~~ Christmas 1967

Love to granddaughter - early 1960s

Matilda Mouse - 1980

Slow and steady does the trick ...

This is a get well card sent to me in the early 1970s by my math teacher at the time.  I hated math but I still love turtles ... especially psychedelic ones!!  

 

I'm wishin', wishin', wishin' ...

My grandmother sent this adorable card in the early 1970s.  I wish I had kept the envelopes to these cards but at the time it never dawned on me to do that.  Think back to the early 1970s and imagine if someone had told you about the internet to come ... it would have seemed like science fiction to me!  

My grandmother writes "I hear through the grapevine that you are sitting up & have your stitches out - wonderful!  Wonderful!!  You will make it yet kiddo!  Just think, you will soon be going home so make every effort to help your self.  Keep your chin up. Be good.  Love, Grandma"

For a Lovely Granddaughter

This is such a girl card!  It's almost as pretty on the back as it is on the front, complete with glitter!  Norcross is the card brand and I still see them occasionally but not as often as I used to years ago.  The drawing and the colors are as appealing to me now as it was when I first received the card back in the early to mid 1960s.  It was sent from Grandpa & Mildred ... it's a beaut!
