ReplyDeleteTrust me I do not have too much time on my hands! (as per your little lead in to comments) I feel like all I am doing lately in the bloggy world is running just to stay far behind. I didn't think it had been that long but here I am catching up on two posts of yours with twohundredforty items on my Reader. You are a brave brave woman to have braces. I think I would just put stuff in a blender and do meal through a straw. You sure were a cute kid! with a cool tinsel tree! I am so envious we only had the dug up living trees, my dad would never had any thing so cool. Our neighbors had a tinsel tree with the light thing that would circle around and around and change the trees colors. Funny that you would pick that picture of a tinsel tree to introduce your tins.... okay I won't say it.
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note I certainly will say some prayers for your little niece, wow.
That is too cool! It's really nifty to see where such an amazing piece of history took place!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great postcard.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful church and beautiful postcard!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Sweetie. I wonder how many have read the whole text of Patrick Henry's speech.....it's inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThanks y'all. I thought this would be a timely post, considering what our future is bringing via the new Fascisim. I keep praying for a Velvet Revolution but I guess time will tell if this is possible.
ReplyDeleteGod bless!
Very nice postcard! Beautiful old church - looks like the picture was taken/painted in early spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat piece of history ...
ReplyDeleteLive and learn. I had no idea where he made this speech until now. Thanks for sharing.

I love this Sparky... where did you get it? I've been to St. Johns a few times for weddings and field trips and it's so cool. It's still a beautiful setting in probably one of the highest points in Richmond. They have plaques for where everybody sat... Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and George Washington at the Second continental congress and where Robert E. Lee sat when he was a parishioner.
ReplyDeleteHey Sparky
ReplyDeleteThis was a great post.
Lots of nifty reminders to cherish our history not sweep it under a rug.
Happy postcard Friendship Friday .
