Dear Cousin,
How are you? I am ok, and hope you are the same. I am going to school, are you? What are you going to do Halloween eve? I do not know what I will do. This picture on the other side is you and your black cats. Frank is going to be home Sat. I have a dog and 4 cats. How many have you? Well I must go to bed.

Where do you get this cool stuff? I clicked on the postcard and it's so cool. Thanks for posting. And have a spooky Hallows Eve.
I got this one at an antique show in St. Joseph, Missouri a lonnnnng time ago. There are usually postcard dealers when you go to these sorts of shows and bonus, they have the cards pre-sorted by subject matter. There's also eBay and antique malls. I don't have a lot of postcards (I'd be surprised if I have more than 10). One of these days I would like to frame some of them but dang, I'm out of wall space. :-/
And as for a spooky Hallows Eve...my front porch is full of predatory (the beneficial kind) insects. One tiny praying mantis, tons of stinkbugs, tons of ladybugs (they are all over Kansas City today) and maybe a pound of lacewings (they're too delicate looking to get away with too much exaggeration). :-) For some reason, all the spiders bolted the heck out of there. It was a little weird.
Kate, you have a spooky Hallows Eve in your new house tonight too. :-)
