forgotten bookmarks

Such a coincidence!
While web-surfing a few days ago, I came across this charming blog: forgottenbookmarks where old books are shown with obscure ephemera found inside each, presumably used as bookmarks...
So that night I pulled out a book to look up some card-playing rules, and a surprise fell out! A note in my Grandma's handwriting, evidence of the card-playing with their friends that we always heard about. (scanned below) Isn't it funny when the universe does that to you?


During their youth, Grandpa and Howard had a brief adventure opening a diner together in a converted railroad car in Florida.

^^^ and these were their playing cards, natch :) ^^^
