I subscribed to the POST last year and when I saw it was the 200 yr anniversary and about the stories they would be publishing throughout the year I ordered another subscription in my 4 yr old niece’s name to put iher treasure chest I’m preparing for her. I was in deep depression until she was born, we’ve formed a bond even her Mother doesn’t understand. I am 75 (in Jan) and know she won’t recall a lot of our lives together but do want her to know how much I love(d) her. Therefore I am writing a journal about our lives, (her Mother will determine, depending on her maturity level and level of appreciation if she gets to open it when she turns 20 or 25) what’s taking place in our country etc and thought the
200th anniversary year additions would be another excellent way for her to know about her past. I was a bit disappointed when some of the issues did not come sealed in plastic but I wrapped them in plastic hoping to preserve them. They have not been handled at all and are in a safety box. Unfortunately I’m on Social Security alone ( went through my savings when I became disabled in my late 50’s) leaves no $$ for luxuries he4e like magazine subscriptions but I do not regret the one I purchased for Mia and I really miss receiving it. I kept Mia full-time until she started pre-k now I pick her up every day and she stays with my after school.
I already get the Saturday Evening Post; it was a real favorite of my grandfather’s way back in the 1950s, and still is.
I love the cartoons and being a church organist have not had the minister say anything about my murdering a hymn, PTL. I have heard some played and sung that needed HELP!!!
Church Chuckles were funny in the 50’s – today too many have lost their sense of humor… Life was simpler then today people are too deep to enjoy simple chuckles ….
With this group I like the first 3 best, especially #3. The pew donation basket being abused like that—-right there, and everyone is so nonchalant. Makes me wonder if this is a regular occurrence there. Shameful!
