vintage postcards
She was put to work in flight. The lactic traet was bottled, sealed, and parachuted down to the thirsty crowd! Charles Lindburg was a spectator who gulped down the milky air mail!

WOW Marie
This is fantastic a flying cow :)
I never heard this before .
This was a great post.
I really enjoyed reading it.
Oh my there is always so much to learn when it comes to history and
crazy stunts for publicity.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Have a blessed week.

What about the cow that jumped over the moon rhyme? So, fly cow, fly!
Nice dance there on the postcard.
wow! amazing!
This doent not laugh. Certainly she does not enjoy her dancer.
I don't know how you come up with all these interesting facts. Great post, Marie! Have a wonderful week :)
Well I'll be Marie...I didn't know that!!! What a way to start my Monday laughing!!!!
Have a great week,
everything vintage
I thought I lived on the maddest island in the British Isles. I take it back. I'm bored with photography I need to get into postcards, it's truly barking.
Wonder if she was a descendant of the 'cow that jumped over the moon'!
oOH! Just now read that Keats the Sunshine Girl said the same thing!
LOVE the stamp and the story!!!
What a fun piece of history.
Who knew?
This is the first time I have visited your blog. It is very innovative, fresh and interesting. Thanks for sharing. I liked the You Tube videos, too.
What an interesting story and a very appropriate title to your post.
I know the first stamp... and I know a norman beach where Lindhberg landed !
Some informations later, if you want ;
Do you want to play with me and some bloggers ? The rule will be on my blog later: you write a text to explain 6 things which make you happy !
Love the cows!
happy Blue Monday!

That is a very interesting post. I come to your blog to learn a little bit about history....which I am really poor at.
I will never look at a post card the same way again....I will always wonder what story it tells.
Thanks Marie!
Would we have an odd idea like this one, nowadays ? I don't think so.
That's just like stroking an aligator ?
Oh funny funny story, flying cow, LOL! Happy Pink Saturday; ) Belated but still sincere! Also, happy Blue Monday. I am participating by default, LOL. So many colors, so little time; )
For my part, I'm finishing 2 tissue cozies today and shipping one out that I sold. Then it's on to upgrading my DeStash site, re-writing my Faerie Tales and on and on. Yep, I do love to be productive. Talk to you soon, Have a great week,

Interesting; but that poor cow!! Happy Blue Monday.
Blessings,

You just have the coolest , obscure stories!
Cheers , Helen
what a cool story! love the post card too:)
I'm proud that St. Louis has a rich heritage, but I never knew about the lactating cow!!!
Up in the air! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Bessie the amazing flying cow! LOL!
Enjoy your day!
Hello Marie, What a wonderful surprise to find a comment from you in France. I love your blog and you are a beautiful young lady. Thanks for coming by and please come again/
Things you can learn by reading blogs! This was a fun entry. Have a great week.
LOVE that stamp .. I would love a poster of it .. its so pretty and fun
I have always heard when pigs fly not cows.
That's a great story, Marie!!
Oh those crazy '30s!!
Cows are soooo ADORABLE!
What a fun post! I never knew of this, so I'm really glad you told us.
What a very cool, cow stamp !!!
Interesting story as well. They sent the milk down by parachute ... how funny !! The containers obviously must have made a soft landing if CL had a cahnce to gulp some down :-)
Cute. Happy Blue Monday!
Guess it goes to show that anything is possible. Who knows, tomorrow we may even see a purple cow.
Happy Twirls
Or I guess you could say it was dairy air mail...not to be confused with derriere mail! ~Lori
love the vintage postcard mainly because my father was a delivery person
moooooootastic!
You have such a cheerful and fun site! I visited once before and I enjoyed coming back. I love Google Earth. It's such fund to land on a place on the globe and almost feel like you're there. It's an easy and fast download (usually), so I hope you have a good time with it. Maybe next time I'll visit your town :) I visit Paris via Google Earth quite often, as I fell in love with the city in real life.
Marie, what a delightful postcard. It took a second but I finally found the blue. Happy Blue Monday. I love your blog and will be back soon.
This is a fun post...and a cool yellow stamp...interesting story too...
Coolest stamp ever!
Hello from SpeedyCat :-)
I like your flying cow... Happy Blue Monday
Flying cow, LOL! How's dances with cows? Nice one for MYM! You have a great week!
That dancing cow is hilarious! I must be sick in the head because to me it looks a little dirty lol!
I've heard about flying pigs, but never a flying cow. Although one cow apparently made it over the moon; perhaps that one went to the moon with Wallace and Grommit to bring back cheese.
Hi , thanks for visiting my blog and your nice comment!love your blog!
Somehow I doubt that gutsy Guernsey Nelly Jay had a choice.
Very interesting information. Cool cow postcards! Thanks for sharing.
What a funny story! Great picture to go with it.
What a great story, I love it. The pics are awesome, love the gray scaled one with the cow & the barn, brings back lots of good memories for me! :)
Flying cows... who woulda thunk it!
I never knew that...flying cows!
tina :)
wow this is an interesting entry. thanks for sharing and i love yellow stamp :)
that is amazing! a cow in the air! and that stamp looked so old! now you reminded me of an entire stamp collection my mother passed on to me that i never got to continue. :((
Pretty yellow swim suit.
Cool! A flying cow, haha. ;)
Great MYM entry.
Hmmm, When Cows Fly? Is that anything like Swine Flew (flu)?! ;-)
looks like the cow printed on that stamp was feeling somewhat awkward...:)
