New Year card 1939, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.

My one brother is sorting through stuff-mainly photos- in our mom’s house and decided to make scrapbooks of what he is finding. I borrowed a finished one he made for mom and this on of the many quaint things in it. It’s a 70+ year old New Year’s card from my grandfather Alan to my grandmom Ruth. I thought it was so cute. My ‘Pop-pop’ was good at card giving as I’ve seen a few now and then. Wish I had know him-he passed away when I was only two months old.

The temps are climbing here-going to the upper 80s over the weekend! That’s too warm for April! I woke up with a sore throat, just on one side, so I hope I’m not getting a cold. The allergens are in the air too, especially with this spike in temps!

  1. I so love these type of vintage cards! How wonderful of your brother to be making scrapbooks for your mom…other guys would just throw all that delightful stuff away!!!!

    It’s 62F here and to us that’s a heat wave for this time of year! lol The sun is also shining so I was out there earlier cleaning out my flower beds and raking the grass. Felt so good to finally be able to get some yard work done! xoxo
