Comment: Hello again, neighbor! :) Thank you for your kind words (and in your smiling handwriting!) and the cool view of Ford's Theatre and the Peterson house; I remember being intrigued with both the history and theatrical elements of this stop on my eighth grade Washington, D.C. class trip. It also reminded me of how I wanted so badly to see Judith Light as Hedda Gabler in summer 2001 at D.C.'s Shakespeare Theatre.

Comment: Thanks Marilyn!! <3 Love this WWII Poster Postcard !

Comment: Delightfully weird! Thanks!

Comment: Thank you for the lantern, and the plethora of stamps thereupon :P I dig it! I love this style, actually... one of my secret geek-outs is building entryways and sconces from the late 19th and early 20th century. They really don't know how to dress up a good entryway anymore... this actually looks pretty similar to one I've seen here in Portland lol

Comment: Thanks for sending me an Arkansas postcard for my state collection.

Comment: Thanks for the beautiful peacock postcard!

Comment: Thanks for the postcard!

Comment: Love the card. The dancers are very colorful. As far as advice. 1) the larger the group the easier everything gets. Especially play dates with other like minded moms. 2) child hood is too short to try and make your kids be like anybody else. enjoy them and discovery what make them individuals. 3) only fight the battles you are willing to die for. 4) remember hair grows back, and doesn't determine beauty. whether it is blue, a mohawk or some other crazy trend. 5) all adult children are determined to raise their children differently and better than their parents did. that means the book of parenting should be perfect by now? Here is the problem, toddlers don't read and they only only hear what you read or say to them. Finally) share what you love with your kids from the day they are born. they may not follow in your foots steps but they will always know you loved them enough to allow them to grow in your special place. kids don't need their own (fill in the blank) they need to learn to live in your world. Hope this helps and isn't too presumptions. Hugs Jennifer

Comment: Thank you for the postcard....you picked some very interesting words! Interesting how we find words we never heard of! Thanks again for the swap!

Comment: Thank you! Usually the 'Days' that I hear about are related to food - Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, Pancake Day, Ice Cream Day, etc. - so it's nice to know about Black Cat Appreciation day!

Comment: Thank for the cemetery postcard!

Comment: Thanks for writing a message that shows you read my profile. On home birth: do it if you can. I loved my home births! On home school: my best advice is don't try to do it like the public schools... and if you need a reason why, read some of John Taylor Gatto's essays. Best of luck!

 

 

Comment: Thanks for the neat café postcard. I appreciate the resend.

Comment: Thanks for the vintage pc

Comment: I loved the stories about your family. And when I read that your luxury item was cruising, I was all, "Why didn't I think of THAT?" ;-) Thanks for sharing! :-)

Comment: Hi Marlington! Thank you for the covered bridge from New Hampshire! We have them here in Oregon too! Do they have them in every state? I wonder.......and your reference about The Bridges of Madsion County! Wow! We could probably write back and forth a few e mails on this movie........wasnt it so interesting? So many feelings were portrayed in that movie! I think the most poignnant moment in the movie was when the man came into town for the last time and she was so not sure if she wanted to stay with her husband and she was thinking about him. He paused at the 4 way stop for the longest time. Do you remember that moment? What if she had followed her heart and ran off with that man? We will never know....what happens to people who follow their hearts! THEY SOAR! I think i would have left if i was that character in the movie.........I would have risked it all to see what was possible with the magic of LOVE! Thank you!

Comment: Thank you for the pc! I'm glad you had a good day with your kids! Have a great week!

Comment: Ahhh a postcard from our ancestors the egyptians! LOVED IT! They knew it back then at 1200 BC and i am still saying that as well......some things become very clear when we are being human! So we both live in small towns! Kool! Thank you Marilyn!
