To the One I love -Postcard Friendship Friday #439

It is getting close to Valentine's Day already.  It is a little more than a month away.  I used to love that holiday, but it has been a sad one for me since my Beloved flew away to heaven.

This year I am going to do something a little nutty.  I'm keeping the Christmas tree up with its lights--putting away the Christmas ornaments.  I am going to decorate the tree with valentines and hearts, then I'm inviting all my nieces and nephews to come over for the weekend.

We will eat Valentine's Day cake, enjoy some fun games, sing and play instruments and best of all, laugh together.  I think this is the perfect solution for Valentine's Day.  It will become a new tradition.  :D

Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

National Pretzel Day -Postcard Friendship Friday #165

 

No one can say for certain how National Pretzel Day started, but on this day we celebrate the world's oldest snack, the Pretzel.   Pretzels date back to 610 AD.  There are several stories.  Some say an Italian monk baked thin strips of dough into the shape of a child's arms folded in prayer.  He is said to have given the pretzels as a reward to children who learned their prayers.  Others believe the Pretzel originated with  Monks in Southern France. 

Regardless of who invented the Pretzel, it is a delicious treat which deserves celebration!  This child is obviously enjoying that pretzel--but I have NO idea what food is on that fork.  Any suggestions?

Happy National Pretzel Day and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

This darling card was part of my Sister Clytie's extensive collection. When I fell in love with this artist's depictions of little children, she gave the set to me. I am SO privileged, and I treasure them. Not only because the cards are perfectly wonderful, but because they were given to me by my precious sister. You can see her wonderful blog at http://clytie-randomcards.blogspot.com/
