I can't believe MILK is the drink of choice for No. Carolina. It makes a fabulous drink for T Tuesday, though.<br /><br />I was saddened to read about your time during and after the war. It is such a sad memory. I feel for you and your poor mother. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your postcards and a bit of your history with us for T this week, and again, I'm so sorry I was late visiting.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549829449802315358.post-69593953206112179532018-10-24T19:21:35.023+02:002018-10-24T19:21:35.023+02:00Your postcards are gorgeous Lisca !!

After the war, most people had to live in very hard conditions, and your mother did not have it easy living in that house with so many plants.<br />Surely you spent an excellent day in Granada with your friends from the photographic club. I live in Almeria capital, we are "Andalusian" neighbors and I am very glad that you like to live in Granada, my son is studying there. This is a great post.<br />I wish you a very nice Thursday, big hugs, CatyCatyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10055482287790873669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549829449802315358.post-42000086348662333932018-10-24T14:44:48.186+02:002018-10-24T14:44:48.186+02:00I never would have guessed milk was the state beve...I never would have guessed milk was the state beverage for North Carolina. I would have thought that would have gone to a big dairy state. the state beverage of Massachusetts where I live is cranberry juice because the state is one of the largest producers of cranberries. Your description of your family's apartment reminds me of my dad describing how he had to take a carriage (pram) down three flights of stairs for his mother. It would be great to be like turtles. You'd have your house with your and everything all on one level. Sounds like a good time with the photography club.

We lived on the fifth floor of a house with no lift, my mum had to pull the pram up 5 flights of steps each time. Must have been a very hard time for all concerned. Have fun with your photo group!

I have a book 'Animal Speak' that I use very often and there is a great write up on the turtle-too long to go into here:) Such a bittersweet story of your family during such times.
