Regret

FOUND by Karen in Walnut Creek, CA

I am helping a friend sell some of her parents stuff and found this note inside a vintage game. Her parents are 100 years old and this game was patented in 1938. Also interesting is that the game was titled “Chinker Chek”, apparently acceptable terminology in the 1920s-1930s, what we know as the game Chinese Checkers.

I found this letter in an old Stratego board game that I got at a rummage sale.

Message in a Mexican Coke Bottle

FOUND by Sue at Dillon Beach, CA

This message was in a bottle that was bobbing in the waves. I like the comment “my dad is 7ft, my mom is anle”. The explanation about spelling problems made me realize that the mom is probably “anal”. I felt like maybe this young girl had tossed the bottle only to have me find it minutes later (but no one was around).. Maybe the bottle traveled far to get to me?

Under the Reading Rainbow

FOUND by John Mulhouse; Albuquerque, NM

I didn’t know kids even read that stuff these days! Perhaps the Big Buddie assigned it? Being from the Midwest, I am heartened.

This letter was in the cardboard recycling slot lying on the top of a grocery bag piled with junk mail. It caught my eye because the handwriting looks like my Aunt’s. Too cute!
