Me and my airship, or The Report of 1911

Found these delightful ink depictions of Edwardian Gibson girls in a box of school papers from 100 years ago. The artist was a Canadian girl of sixteen.
"Report of the Weather, different birth-days and what I spend through the year of 1911
Near Monarch, Alta., Canada."

"Me and my airship. What do you think of it?"


"They who wash on Monday,
Have all the week to dry,
They who wash on Tuesday,
Are not so much awry."

Life

At the gym for my usual workout, I was about to toss my gear in an empty locker -- almost empty, except for this post-it folded up at the bottom.
