Nowadays we are told that in
order to have good relationships
we should communicate with each
other. We should be open and
express our feelings instead of
keeping them bottled up inside.
There are many ways to do this.
Long ago families gathered
around the table three times a day.
Now it seems that some people
must plan in order to eat together
once a week. Everything is rush,
rush and each person goes his own
way.
I am amazed that there are so
many postcard albums offered for
sale at public auctions. They usu
ally bring over a hundred dollars.
Even the fact that someone took
the trouble to save these picture
postcards is surprising.
At the turn of the century it only
cost one penny to tell your cousin
that you’d “meet at the trolley sta
tion Friday night” Many of these
cards contained just such mes
sages. Or they might tell of a
gathering of extended family on a
Sunday afternoon where a picnic
held in the woods was the social
event of the week.
I write a lot of letters to keep in
touch with our scattered children
and with my sisters. They in turn
are more wont to use the telephone
to call us. Sometimes the mes
sages are mundane and tell us of
ordinary events like whether or
not the grandchild ate his break
fast. Other times the telephone

According to Molly Kellogg,
Dairy Council’s Coordinator of
Lifesteps, a weight management
program, there is no “quick fix” to
brings us news of a birth or of an
illness.
No longer do we ring the bell on
the house roof to summon help.
Rather we would rush to the phone
to dial “911.” No longer do we
hitch up a horse in order to visit a
friend. Now we simply jump in a
car and arc there in minutes.
But, I am glad that someone
took the time to write and save
postcards and by so doing give us
a glimpse of life in the early
1900 s.
