I feel the same way about old family photos...especially those sepia tone ones that look sad to start with.Frankie Anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06093324566743581868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283311941287619790.post-52130719207546424352009-04-03T17:11:00.000-05:002009-04-03T17:11:00.000-05:00So wonderful that you still have these old cards! ...So wonderful that you still have these old cards! Sometimes I see cards like these on sale at flea markets, piles of them thrown in some box - and they look quite sad - and, yes, enticing through their untold stories.Manuelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14683398966448238779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283311941287619790.post-37489366782949423332009-03-26T10:38:00.000-05:002009-03-26T10:38:00.000-05:00Sylvia--Wow! 8 books...do you have links to them o...Sylvia--Wow! 8 books...do you have links to them or talk about them at all on your site? I don't know New Orleans at all, other than from books...do you know Kate Chopin's The Awakening? <BR/><BR/>Tina--you don't know how much your comment means to me. I'm writing a memoir right now...my idea, which inspired this blog, is a memoir told through objects. But there's at least one novel in some of my older relatives' stories. I'm percolating one or two. If only I didn't have to work fulltime to make a living! It sure gets in the way of writing. <BR/><BR/>Sujatha--thank you!Frankie Anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06093324566743581868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283311941287619790.post-61345082067399775522009-03-26T09:19:00.000-05:002009-03-26T09:19:00.000-05:00What a treasure, Frankie!What a treasure, Frankie!Sujatha Bagalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02140274113596874518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283311941287619790.post-24138545485142627612009-03-26T00:06:00.000-05:002009-03-26T00:06:00.000-05:00Wow, your blog is full of fascinating stories, inc...Wow, your blog is full of fascinating stories, including your "cast of characters".

I loved the history, the mixed races all of the things that made it unlike any other town in the US. Great post! Thanks for the memories!Sylvia Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484577678585907669noreply@blogger.com
