Rita's Entry: Wednesday, April 12, 1911
Same story. Tin got grand birthdays box - cakes, candy, rocks, etc. Also flowers from Smiths. The Yellow Kid was allowed a piece of angel food cake and a glass of milk for dinner.
IN RITA'S DAY: Happy Birthday to Tin! Too bad Rita (the yellow kid) is still sick. At the time, birthday cards and postcards were common since the 'modern' postage stamps were first issued in 1847. Postcards were popular and so pretty I've included 3 of them (see above and below)
TODAY: Advances in cards are talking cards, where you can record your own message. Others have pre-recorded messages or songs. And of course, if you want to save the stamp, there are e-cards. But none are, in my opinion, as charming as the ones posted here.
Judy's Entry: April 12, 2011
Busy morning singing and doing chair zumba. It was a rainy day. Went on errands before my appointment for a haircut and color. Nothing much doing in the late afternoon. Doug was over and gave his "order" for Easter dinner.
