are you with the cats or dogs?

Did you're 4th of July weekend look like this picture above?

Or maybe it looked more like the one below?

Vacation or Staycation - whatever you did hope you cats and dogs had a great time.

These postcards were drawn by European artist Eugen Hurtung. The images were popular and used on postcards which are still sold today. They are usually called Mainzer cats after the name of the publisher. The really early cards from the 1950's were published by Kunzli in Switzerland. (information taken from this site>

parade

The Rose Festival is going on here in Portland. Not one for groups of 350,000 people, I prefer to watch the Starlight Parade and the Rose Parade on TV. But, I do like parades. Sometime I would like to go to a small town parade like the one here.

These pictures were taken July 22, 1979 during "Old Homesteaders Days" in Osborn, Montana. Each photo says this along with a short description on the back. I got these a couple years ago from a fellow Webfooter.

On the back: Marie and Frank Sinclair as Grand Marshalls

On the back: Dog holding on to mistresses back
