Thanksgiving Postcards from 1911 and 1913

I have these two old postcards for the Thankgiving holidays dating back over 100 years.  The first postcard (the one with the turkey and flowers on it) was written in 1911 to my grandmother Alma Hantel in Grafton, Nebraska, where she lived with her father, the Rev. E.F.A. Hantel.  Two years later in 1913, a friend, Lena, sent Alma a postcard (the one with the football) to Halsey, Oregon, where Alma lived and worked as a school teacher.  That's also where she met my grandfather, Ernest Arnold.  They were married in 1915.
