Homestead Mercantile: My Momma's Childhood Valentines

Please come on in, sit down and take a look at a slice of my life...

My interest in blogging comes from a hole left in my life...that being a lack of information that was left behind from my ancestors. You see, I figure maybe someday my descendants may want to know about my life in the 21st century, as I want to know about my ancestors. So I was inspired to begin this blog. Now over the years I have done some journaling...albeit pretty random. So, since I spend a fair amount of time on this laptop I might as well document my life while I am at it. Oh do I wish my grandmother's and grandfather's had taken the time to write about their lives. What a treasure that would be! So I dedicate this blog to my ancestors and my descendents. Enjoy!

My Momma's Childhood Valentines

This old photo ablum is full of Valentines that were given to my sweet mother when she was a child or teenager. She gave the album to me a number of years ago and I do indeed treasure it. Each page is a visual treat. I am always happy for Valentienes Day to arrive every year so I can open the album and display these little treats! And there are no calories to worry about. Thanks, Momma for this lovely gift.
