"A Pennsylvania Trio"

An unusual type of Transportation.

This is just a very strange card to me.

I am not sure what this is all about.

What makes it a Pennsylvania Trio?

Old Cape Cod,

I'm going back to the Cape;

Where salt waves greet the pine,

And battered sea hulks drape

Their arms in the ocean's brine.

Where glint of silver sail

Against a turquoise sea,

Or droning bell-buoy's wail

Hold a breath of ecstasy.

I'm going back again

Where tangy breezes blow,

And hark to fishermen

Tell tales of long ago.

Beside a weathered shack,

As waves salute the shore,

And gaunt trees stand forth black,

Cape Cod calls me once more.

Pitch your Tent

Sepia Saturday

This is Me at 7 & a half. I do remember it being taken, vaguely. My brother Jerry with his trusty Kodak Brownie made this snap on a Sunday morning before heading out to Sunday School. We had spent Saturday playing in the back yard with the tent. I don't remember if we camped in it or not.
