Tea Time Talk Thursday with Ruth
and
Vintage Thingie Thursday with Suzanne
makes for a good Thursday.
Tea on the deck today.
Acorns still on the deck table.
Having------Lemon Honey Chamomile by Disney Tea, The Official Unbirthday Tea.
1/2 grapefruit for snack.
Using my new cobalt blue tea cup with the sweet little blue bird on it.
Feeling------Sun is shining brightly. It is probably about 70 degrees.
Feeling so encouraged and hope of warm weather.
HH and I like to sit in the sun about 10 a.m. every morning during the warm weather.
On my mind--------The sun makes me feel good and has helped ease my mind about this diabetic learning I need to do.
Messed up today and ate too much Grape Nuts cereal for lunch as I had overlooked the carbs factor.
My supplies came today and post lunch BS was way too high.
Now me knows.

Go here to join in the Tea Talk and meet some nice folks.
I had said that I was finding myself interesting in old postcards since blogging and decide to start a search.
I visited two of my regular thrift haunts and did not find anything.
I went to my true favorite Mackin's Antiques in town and wala- did I ever hit the jackpot.
I approached the cards with expectations of having to pay dearly for a single card but found a large box of cards, mostly $1.00 each.
I came home with some treasures.
I first looked for ones with messages so as to establish a date and found a couple.
But I have some really neat ones.
Collecting postcards takes up a lot less room them some items I had been collecting.
This, of course, is The Barry Statue and Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pa.
Very nice preserved card.
Built in 1729-35 by the Province Of Pennsylvania as the Colonial State House.
In the foreground is shown the bronze statue of
Commodore Barry.
The more interesting side.
Now I don't know why this was only partly scanned but what is important is the date and where it was mailed from.
From a niece to her aunt and uncle in Ohio.
March 22,1917
I had blocked out the name and street address, but I guess her words were not to be sent out into cyberspace to be read.
Go here for more VTT
