Why is it feeding pigeons is fun when on vacation? We wouldn't want them sitting on our head when we're at home, but go to Venice and you can't avoid having your photo taken feeding them. I've done it. Pigeon on my head, smile on my face.
I don't know the story behind this real photo postcard. I have two of them. Ladies on vacation on a rainy day. Perhaps a bus tour. They look British so I'm imaging this trip to the continent was one they saved for and wouldn't let the rain dampen their happiness. They were smart enough to even pack galoshes in their bags. They've been through a war. No rain or pigeon poop is going to ruin their day. I just love how happy they are. The old gals are still giggling.

I wouldn't want those pigeons on me, but I'd love to go on vacation with these ladies. You couldn't help but have fun.

Rats with wings, that's what I say. The ladies look fun tho.
ReplyDeleteI love these ladies! and I took a gander the rollamonica...holy mackerel! I wish I could find one- that would be a hit with our friends!
ReplyDeleteKathe,
ReplyDeleteJust imagine, a toy that does something but requires no batteries or a charger. What a concept!
They look like they are having a blast..I should be so lucky when I get their age..wait maybe I already am their age:(
ReplyDeleteI can't remember where I go this card, but I know I had sitting on my desk for many years because it made me smile. Then it got put away when I rearranged my desk for a second computer and I only found it last week in a stack of stuff. When I first saw it I thought "Oh what sweet old ladies." Now I look at it and go "Whoa...she might be my age?"
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right! My Mom always told me it was on her trip to Rome, so I assumed this was Rome. She must have made a side trip to Venice....Rosie
