Perfect Partnership


Sender: Patrick & Jutta

I think the card states "It's the little niceties and mutual helpfulness which make a perfect partnership".

Well....the man can actually take over the broom and sweep the ground, just sayin'! :-D

The stamp for this card is missing, presumably lost in transit, leaving just the shadow of its shape, accentuated by the postal mark...

Sender: Faithlouise

Good Opinion Once lost

Sender: Emotis
A quote from one of my favourite books, "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen

"I am perfectly convinced by it that Mr. Darcy has no defect. He owns it himself without disguise."

"No," said Darcy, "I have made no such pretension. I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. It is, I believe, too little yielding- certainly too little for the convenience of the world. I cannot forget the follies and vices of other so soon as I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My feelings are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. My temper would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost is lost forever."

"That is a failing indeed!" cried Elizabeth. "Implacable resentment is a shade in a character. But you have chosen your fault well. I really cannot laugh at it. You are safe from me."

Look For Possibilities

A Tree House




Sender: Alienne
'T' is for 'Tree' house!

Why do you think children like playing in a tree house? I think that a tree-house gives them another venue to play, a separate place to put their own special things and serves as a retreat for them sometimes. Makes them feel special. Have you ever played in a tree house before? 

This card comes with a quote which Alienne kindly translated for me:-
"Man needs hours in which he centres himself and lives inwardly". ~ Albert Schweitzer
