HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY 2013!
It's been a rainy one for us here in the Pacific Northwest - or should I say the "North-Wet?!"
Hope you're enjoying the blessings of family, friends and freedom this weekend.
Thought I would share a seasonal selection of images with you today, This first one comes from
a book entitled: "Defenders of Democracy", by Anonymous. It's a truly inspiring tribute to our "doughboys," as the publishers call them. Here is a link to the book - http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/40905 . I'm sure it won't take you long to discover that Gutenberg is my favorite site to find wonderful old stories and images. I've spent a number of years now perusing their archives, and others, collection wonderful pictures, and reading material, and I'm starting this blog in order to share what I've treasured most. Enjoy! - Judy
Tribute page from the same book:
Here's an amusing image from around 1900,
of boy lighting a firecracker. You might
like to use it in your 4th of July crafts.
