Happy Postcard Friendship Friday, happy indeed

Yesterday I hinted a another mail delivery, Nancy, thoughtful Nancy, sent me a bundle of these funny postcards. I had to post these two together. My sister from whom I hear everyday of the year except when she's on vacation, Alice and her husband are off on a sunny holiday, a much needed one. Alice will lay on the beach, and enjoy the people watching. By the time she comes home she will know everything there is to know about everyone at the hotel/resort, and quite possibly the surrounding town. I think she should have been and investigator or at least James Bond's backup man. If she weren't such a chicken that might have been a career choice.


Mitch on the other hand doesn't know how to lay around so he'll be playing any games that are happening, (the recreation staff love him). But I'm sure he'll enjoy the scenery as well.

My phone will probably not ring at all this week.

Many thanks to Nancy from All Pulped Out, isn't she sweet for thinking of me.

And a big thank you to Beth for hosting Postcard Friendship Friday

I've been reading reviews of books that are "suitable for laying on the beach and reading", I was so tempted to go along on a beach trip, except I really don't enjoy travelling. I may splurge and buy myself a chaise lounge and sit on my porch. Veranda Beach isn't it, no need to pack, no need to make arrangements for animals or children, or husbands, etc. My problem with a chaise lounge is I have no where to keep it in the "off" season. Maybe I'll just read in my living room, stick my feet out the window and lay on my sofa.

Have a great Friday, I'm off to my mom's so I'll be brain dead by the end of the day.


I have to add I'm not brain dead from my mom today, she had a good day, we actually had a real conversation, you wonder how the mind works sometimes don't you?

Happy Anniversary

Well I was so busy celebrating Ruby Tuesday I forgot about the real celebration. My sister and her husband are celebrating 36years of wedded bliss. I was the maid of honor at that wedding. It was very windy, our hats kept blowing off. We had a great time. Alice said she didn't eat any dinner because she was so nervous, all she ate was cucumbers and sour cream. I don't remember being nervous, I don't remember dancing, and I don't think I even had one drink. They went to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon. Niagara Falls is about 45 minute drive from our home. But they've been celebrating since...


In those days the couples that we knew of didn't pick their first song, it just was the Anniversary Waltz.
I remember how extravagant our mother thought we were when I bought those milky white bud vases for $.99, yes 99 cents for all tables. Now I'm sure some of the table arrangements are 100s of dollars. good times though.
