One of the things lying around here from mom and dad is a collection of old post cards from or to family members. One I just read was written by Granny to her husband Charles Walmsley Flanders. The card is dated January 27, 1939 and it was mailed from Winnsboro. It was sent to 3221 Wendelkin St. in Dallas, which was Aunt Maude's address - so evidently Granddad was in Dallas for a few days and was staying with Aunt Maude (his half-sister). The message was:
"Dear, I forgot to remind you to bring flour, no bacon, ??, or meal. If you want to get a few baby chicks I will try them under the hen that is setting. I must hurry and mail this so, Good bye till Sat. Yours, Verlie"
That says a lot about the way they lived! (The postage was one cent.)
