I Have a Dream -Postcard Friendship Friday #440

I was ten years old when Martin Luther King was assassinated.  Even at that tender young age, this great man captivated my imagination.

I loved him.  His dream became mine, too. I have always been captivated by his inspiring words.  Especially these:  "I have a dream... ...that little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers."

Growing up, my parents taught us a great truth--that people are people no matter what color their skin is...that God made human beings like flowers, in all shapes, colors and sizes--and they are all beautiful.

Blessings and peace to all peoples and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday.

Heureuse Annee! -Postcard Friendship Friday #340

It is very cold for our part of the country.  We are usually in the mid-thirties and forties.  Today it is 17 outside, with a high of 27!  We are NOT used to this kind of weather here in the Willamette Valley in Oregon.

My Grandfather told of a time it was so cold he drove a team of horses and a buggy across the Willamette River.  That was around 1900 and he was a teenager.  Ah, boys!  Some things never change.  I do love the snow, but this very cold weather isn't a favorite of mine.

However, there's a big storm coming in tomorrow and Sunday.  They say we are in for a silver thaw.  Grandpa used to call ice storms by that name.  I always loved how it sounded.  I am looking forward to the bad weather--and I pray no one gets hurt trying to get around in the ice.

I hope you are having a wonderful New Year so far, dear Friends.  God bless you and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Celebrating Siblings -Postcard Friendship Friday #264

Here in America, it is National Sibling Day.  I am glad for a time to celebrate my brothers and sisters.  I am the eldest of six. I've always felt I have been blessed to be a part of a big family.  There are so many wonderful memories of the things we did, the laughter, tears and love we all shared. 

I was a teenager when my youngest sister was born.  This postcard reminds me of our relationship so many years ago.

Thank you for dropping by, and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
