Postcard Friendship Friday - Monkey See Monkey Do

Japanese Monkey Family

My sister sent this card to my son in 2000.  On the back she wrote: "I net some of your friends (cousins) when I went to Nikko, so I took their picture for you."  Not ice that she has written the names of his four cousins at the time on the monkeys.  Unfortunately the eldest cousin Alex, passed away this summer.  One other addition to the card, the baby monkey would now be named Paul, the youngest cousin who turned 10 a week after his brother's passing.


Friday is a wonderful day, it's when Beth of The Best Hearts are Crunchy, hosts Postcard friendship Friday.

    Just the sort of thing my friend does when she sends cards. It is good we do not know the future and this was sent from a happy time.
