Postcards Stairs


"STAIRS"

This is another Postcard collection from my Mom's family that was brought over from Eastern Europe.

It was dated sometime in the very  late 1930's to my Mom from a school friend who knew they would probably  never see each other due to the war uprisings.......writing to my Mom wishing her a good life and maybe they can meet sometime someplace when the world was a little better and peaceful. To my knowledge my Mom doesn't know if she made it out to another country or what happened to her. She was one of my Mom's good school girlfriends. This brings me to mind...that we don't understand how fortunate we are to live in North America.

This postcard reminds me of  someone going for a Sunday walk or stroll......during summer time in some nice weather. These two ladies look like they bought some flowers along the way.....or maybe just walking and  thinking about  their lovers or husbands who are at war and they are just walking around and thinking about missing them terribly.

Thank you for stopping by....I'm linking to;

  1. Oh this is a lovely postcard, sad that your mom lost track of her, but that's just how it was. My mom didn't reconnect with her friends that were left behind either. I love that the ladies are walking along with their flowers, they do buy them in Europe, much more than we do. Happy PFF

    1. Thanks Irene.....yes they do sell flowers all over Europe. They also don't pay a fortune like here. I love Fresia's and for a stem it's a few bucks here. In Turkey for about 20 stems I paid 2 bucks.
