A Hallmark Moment

I still love receiving cards for my B-Day. My girlfriend in Hawaii has a collection of vintage cards her mother left her when she passed away. One arrived in my mailbox just before I embarked on a marathon of travel to the Monkees Convention. In 12 days I slept in four different beds and visited three states, not including a layover in Atlanta, GA on my way home.

Two more cards from lifelong girlfriends and a lovely, most thoughtful card from a fan in Canada.

More charming than an e-card or email, even though I deeply appreciate those as well, there’s something to be said for a Hallmark Moment. Sound like a girl thing? I like cards from guys too! Received a special one this year. Putting pen to paper somehow makes a deeper connection with our hearts.

    You need to watch over your heart Donna !
    Did you marry for the money?
    Take a lover in the afternoon.
    I think you got to slow down,
    before you start to blow it.
    I think your headed for a breakdown!!

    Happy Birthday Donna !!!
