The Panacea Cats at the Ordering Mouse Meat

National Postcard Week
May 4-10, 2014

The Panacea Cats in Laurel, Mississippi

O'Bear gets upset with Gatsby because he doesn't sell mouse meat!  I tell him he can catch his own mice, but he claims that isn't dignified for a cat like him..

O'Bear and Missy were cats that belonged to the Elmo Mays family.  Gatsby is Spencer List's dog.  They live in Los Angeles, California.  Alain, Bobby and Colin Hain claim Coco as their cat.  Jupiter, Florida is their home.

This postcard was drawn by Rick Geary for Bette Mays in 2014.

Hillbilly Livin' - Shoppin' Spree


Hillbilly Livin'

Shoppin' Spree

Back to their home in holler goes these happy hillbillies after a shopping trip to the general store.  Pa and the boys can't carry much; they're saving themselves to open gates and chase varmints out of the road.

Buying Quality Products is Like Buying Oats


Buying Quality Products is like buying oats...
If you want nice, clean, fresh oats, you must bay a fair price.  However, if you can be satisfied with oats that have already been through the horse
Well . . . That comes a Little Cheaper

Phooey - Lousy Trip, Say It With Post Cards


I had a Lousy trip - Haven't you got one that just says PHOOEY?

Say it with Post Cards
A lady with Poison Ivy, Mosquito Bites Sun Burn, and her arm in a sling - it looks like she might have a cold too with that red nose. (He must be sick too ;-)
My question is this, where do you buy a hat like that?  I want one!  :D
