What Do You Mean, Wyoming?
This is one of my favorite postcards.
Click on the image for it to open in a larger window -
hopefully with better clarity.
It says:
Burial Place of Gen. Custer and His Brave Men, Wyoming.
It was postmarked 01 Apr 1908 in what looks like Reynolds, N. DAK, and again on 02 Apr 1908 in Epping, N. DAK. Mailed to: L.L. Ellingson of Epping, N.D.
I’m assuming that it’s written in Norwegian, and I have no idea of what it says. So if anyone can translate Norwegian, please let me know! The back of the card has more writing on it.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch…
I’m not mad at anyone or ignoring anyone - just busy!
It’s been so hectic the last few weeks. Which I suppose is a good thing. I haven’t had much time to blog, visit blogs or keep up with any correspondence.
The Sugarbeet Baron and I went to Billings today. I think that it was the first time that we went to Billings together in months. We enjoyed lunch at the Athenian with a friend. Then we went back to running around trying to get all our business and shopping (think groceries) done. I need to get my holiday cards and baking started. We still need to get a tree - our pets would be very upset if we didn’t.

How interesting. Wyoming? I think they missed! Do you know there are people who think beet farmers take the winter off? Well maybe some do, but not all of them! bonnie

All understood about you being busy ‘moos’. I was wondering if this might be the rather ‘flat’ period for blogging, and giving it a holiday for a week or two might not be a bad idea? You and Pandora are the only two that I have listed as favorites and check daily.

It was probably printed by the Wyoming Vacation and Tourism Board of the early 1900’s. lol

Boy! It can’t be anyone who is familiar with Wyoming or Montana! I know that place very well since Colstrip is not far from there. IT was the meeting point we had with my grandparents in Sheridan,Wy.
I love your photos!

I’ve bought two of these cards - and the sellers didn’t notice anything “off” - but they weren’t in Montana or Wyoming.
So, no takers on the translation job?
