Found photo marked on the bottom “Long Beach, Cal. 1921″

Care to add your own caption?

This photo came from a batch of photographs from Michigan that date from the early 1900′s until the 1940′s. 

Based upon the clothing, and hair, my guess is the photo was taken in the 1920′s. 

Who was she? I have no idea.  But, I like her face, and I think the dog is fierce looking. 

Do you think she was a “flapper” with her short hair and short skirt? 

The Photo Friday challenge is “pristine.”

The closest I could come to was the absolute complete opposite.

Mabel and I came out to the Fair for this.  M. Roosevelt is here – big crowd but not unusual.  I am not even crossing the street to see him! Would rather write some Postcards to my friends.  This ___ a building is no credit to the State, cheap looking – English architecture – supposed to cost near 75,000.00 — a house!!   Democratic management.  I am very well.  May be home soon — Your Aunt Anna.

Dear Friend.  Rec’d your ever welcome letters and very glad to hear from you.  We are all well and hope you are the same.  They are expecting a big time here next week when the Shriners get here.  The city is being decorated up beautiful with flags.  Dinner time so must close.  Don’t answer till you hear from me again.

Your friend,

This card is canceled on the front, but its kind of hard to read the exact date (June 5, XXXX).  There is no message on the other side, and was another card mailed to Bertha Dicus.  Based on the other cards that were with this one, I’m saying early 1900′s (plus the card itself is dated 1912 in the lower left corner).

Sharing this with you all because it reminds me of Spring Showers!  Which we have had enough of over the last few weeks.  The graphic also reminds me of the Morton Salt Girl – When it Rains it Pours!

You have got to love the inscription on this card:

Sept 22 — Thought of you and drank 14 beers to your health.  Chas, D. S.

Another great card from Bertha (and Jim) Dicus of Alanson, Michigan.  I have quite a few cards that were sent to Bertha over the years.  Here is a Happy Easter card from her cousin Mary Bateson of Prairie Depot, Ohio dated March 24, 1910.

Prairie Depot, O.  March 23, 1910
