"An enchanting Christmas story of faith and hope for all ages that is sure to become a classic". Quote from book jacket. Good Southern Drama. I liked it. I knew Fannie when I was young from her work with a theatre In Birmingham, Alabama. She directed a play I was in back then.luvlinenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729397083701730823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-70571297678061133742013-12-15T20:26:49.200+00:002013-12-15T20:26:49.200+00:00E stamps were/are NVI "no value indicated&quo...E stamps were/are NVI "no value indicated" for European destinations.

I think more for New Year. Most of these cards were German made. Cardinals and chickadees are the birds usually seen on newer greeting cards.

Robins here...Very cute stamps, I love all of them!<br /><br />Robins here (in the Netherlands) are associated with winter. <br />I always thought that the same robins stayed in our country the whole year round, and that they come closer to our houses because of the winter cold and lack of food. But recently I read an article about robins, And I learned that these robins, seen in winter, are coming to our country in autumn from Scandinavian countries. While the robins we see here in summer, are leaving NL for winter by flying to more southern countries. <br />Because the Scandinavian robins have more room in the north, they are less familiar with humans, and therefore less shy. And thus seen in winter!Heleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206346242374113741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-43213275682759499712013-12-15T14:22:47.517+00:002013-12-15T14:22:47.517+00:00Another set I totally missed, they are fun!
