Just a Few things today.....

I love my old newspapers. I love holding a newspaper that I know was held by someone in another era. I often try to imagine what the ladies or men were wearing or what they did when they laid the paper down.

So, here is a Scientific newspaper that gives details of the NEW mail system in New York City.

These are some close up pictures of the lithograph. I just love the artwork of that era. I just can't imagine how difficult it was to get a newspaper out without the technology we have today.

Too bad the post office was unable to continue utilizing technology to stay ahead of the game. I can assure you, there is much waste in that organization.....after all, it is a government entity. And they want to handle our healthcare. Hmmm.

My daughter begins kindergarten in the fall. So, here I am filling out all that paperwork yet again. Kind of a sad time, but just as I was prepared to be depressed while doing all this paperwork to send my last child off to school........well, I'd like to express my appreciation to our government for getting me out of the depression mode and into anger.

I live in rural North Carolina. Little country school. CHECK THIS OUT!!!! They have created a "required" line in which I must declare that I am either hispanic or non-hispanic. So, is this a politically correct way to "not hurt the feelings of the illegal hispanic immigrants" OR a way to say that they have managed to take over our country and we are now the United States of Mexico.

And on a lighter note..........I needed something to cheer me up after that. So, I headed over to etsy.

One of my favorite Christmas gifts was the Susan Boyle CD that hubby got me. I found this lovely print:

The title made my heart smile and I'm going to listen to the CD as soon as I'm done with this blog post.

Hoping you have a wonderful Easter weekend.
