German Love Postcard Besiegt

A day late, and at least a few dollars short on posting this vintage German postcard. Love, love, love.  I hope all had a reasonable Valentine's Day.  I don't know about you, I'm not real attracted to children with guns and spike-head helments kissing on me.  My German grandmother is spinning in her grave right now...sorry.  This is pre-nazi Germany, around 1910-15 or so.  WWI era.  Oh yeah, yet another time Germany tried to rule the world.  It's really hard sometimes (ok, most of the time) to have pride for my ancestral homeland. Don't hate on me because I'm more than half German...

Frosty Winter Day

This is kind of how I feel at this stage of winter...It's cold, there is crap on the ground, I'm wearing way too many clothes and I've got some stupid lump of snow with a couple of sticks poking out of it in my yard.  Is this Frosty on a bad day? Is this me on a bad day? Where the hell is his face, hat, etc...this little girl seems somewhat confused.  Me too.  Maybe this is an alien and he wants to phone home. Help me out here folks, my brain is frozen.  I found this photo in a pile of junk at an estate sale, maybe this is your long lost self, I sure don't know who it is or how everything turned out after the snow melted...
