Friendly Critters
Here's a little card that Mildred sent to me at college in the early 1980s and accompanied by a box of petit fours. Inside she writes:
"I was in Thalheimers the other day and decided to send you a little something. With my love always, Mildred"
And that something was always delicious and very much appreciated!

What kind of Valentine are you? I'm a Nonchalant Valentine!
| You Are a Nonchalant Valentine |
 You think love transcends commercial holidays, and you definitely don't put a lot of stock in V-Day. Your perfect Valentine's Day date is low key and easy... No gifts if you can help it. You think it's a lot more meaningful to spend a quiet night at home together than to go to a fancy restaurant. |

Snowman Test - I am calm & relaxed!
| You Are Calm and Content |
 You are agreeable... to a point. You know when it's time to do your own thing. Building real and deep relationships matters to you. You are a person of substance looking for others of substance. You are accommodating and peace-seeking. You do your best to make others happy. |

What kind of winter hat are you? I'm a hat with flaps!
| You Are a Hat With Flaps |
 You use fashion to play. You never take style all that seriously. You're the type most likely to wear a funny t-shirt or goofy hat. But when it comes time to clean up, you clean up nicely. |

If you can smile on a cloudy day ...
This doublesided stand up card was sent to me in the early 1970s while I was in the hospital recovering from surgery. I love the little winsome Betsey Clark figures! In this season of colds and flu, they look comforting in their warm quilts and homey environment. I'm sure there's some lemon & honey tea in there somewhere! I don't remember the people who sent the card and only remember their names. They were a family that my parents became friendly with at the hospital as their daughter was in the same ward as me at the time. I hope she fared as well!
